I have read numerous threads on here and maybe I am just confused so I am jsut going to ask. Does the star rating given to potentials draft picks reflect a player's potential? Basically does a high star rating give the player a better chance of having high potential? I am new to this game and I took over a team two weeks ago. I will have the 1st pick in teh draft but the bad thing is obviously, I have very little scouting. I want to try and find a player with good potential so I can build him into a superstar.

I have only fully scouted one player (Scout and interview) and he had a 5 star rating with 3 star potential and an A+ grade. The problem is he was a 6'6, 19 year old Center....Yeah big let down. What's the best strategy for me? I have no scouting points as this moment in time.

Nothing you can do here mate. But no, star rating is completely about your player's current skills and have nothing to do with potential.

He won't be able to train any further than his potential allows, but at least he got a headstart and will be able to help your team faster =)

I was faced with the same dilemma too last season and I drafted a 5 x 2 x A+ 18 year old as my second pick. I'm actually walking a tight rope building him but he will be a good role player for me some day.

Just scout some more but I'd go with that 5 x 3 A+ if you can't find any better.

Isn't there a problem with him only being 6'6?

Not really, unless you plan on making him a Center or PG.

His listed position reflects his current abilities...which could mean he has low JR or OD. Alternatively, it could just mean he has a relatively high IS, ID, RB or SB. I would check the game stats for how many 3 pt shots he attempted, assists and TOs. This will be reflective of his JS/JR, PA, and HA, respectively. If those look okay, I would say he is a safe bet to draft and train as a SF. If not, you still may want to take a flier on him as he could still be a good stretch 4 with proper training.
