Well I scouted two 18 year old each once. I find they are both PG with heights of centers/power forward. But if I interview one can his position change or does it stay as it is from the previous scouting?

Those type of players are high risk high reward. Perfect scenario is that they have good outside skills and ok inside skills and can make them a SF or PF (if you don't want to train them too much out of position). Worst case scenario is they have poor inside skills so they are too tall to train as a guard and skills are too low to train as a big man.

If you are interested in good B-skills, e.g. passing and handling for a C and IS and ID for a Guard, then 7'5 PG and 6'0 C can be the perfect draftees.

Hi all! I'm asking here, just to avoid opening a lot of threads about draft:

I am first at my conference, and probably I will win my league this season, because most of the teams are bots. So, I will be last team choosing draftees.
After reading a lot, I finally decided to spend 10 scouting points in a group demonstration, and I got 2 players with 5 orange balls at star rating, and 6 players with 4 orange balls.

The question is: I still have another 10 points remaining. Should I spend them in personal interviews for any of these 8 guys?
And, I repeat, I will be last one choosing, even when most of the other teams are not connecting for a month, or they're bots already...

Thanks in advance!

Get 6 more draftpoints and interview all 8 depending on there size offcourse. If you train guards go for the 6'4 and lower sized trainees and if you want to train centers go for 6'7 and taller trainees. Bots draft random so you have a good chance in landing a 5 ball trainee. But they must have a minimum 3/4 ball potential.

Thanks for the answer! (:

Well, this means spending 26 points in total. And I will not know heigh until I will have personal interviews with them. So, now, I wonder if with this additional 16 points (apart from the 10 points I already spent), wouldn't it be better spending another 10 points in Scouting Combine, and have 3 additional interviews with the 18 years old draftees that may appear among these 8 I found.

Any suggestions?

if you have less than 10 18 years old with 1 or 2 grey balls that are NOT interviewed yet, then don't do scouting combine, as let's say you got 8 of them, scouting each of them separately will cost you 8 points whereas it'll cost you 10 with draft combine

I would interview the guys you have. Potential is the main thing and by doing that you will have 2 or 3 real good options.
Be a shame to spend all that money and get someone with no potential to train.

Spend the 16 points on interviewing all of them and order them as best you can. I was in a bot league like you last season and got my 2nd pick at 16th spot and got an even better player I had not interviewed with my 2nd pick. Lucky I got him. Had I interviewed him he would of been my 1st pick.

Potential is more important then current skills. With the 8 guys who have decent starting skills you will find 3 maybe 4 of them are 4 or 5 ball potential and worth getting.

A 5 ball 1 ball guy is a waste of money and time. A 4 ball 5 ball guy would be much much better draftee.

Thanks again to you all, guys! I followed your advice and already discarded 3 of the players because of 2 balls potential. I got a 4 ball potential with grade rating A.

And the 5th interviewed draftee is like this:

4 balls Star Rating, 3 balls Potential, B+ grade rating, 18 years old. Would you pick him among first choices? Potential is not so good, and I don't know what the B+ means...

Get the 4 ball potential 5 ball star rating first
