I would like to learn your draft strategies to combine the best strategy. I am spending 10k dollars for every week so I'll have enough points to scout some players at the end of the season so I want to use them effective.

Group demo; sort by age; sort by height.

Wash, lather, repeat.

And sit on the rest of the points for a season when I'll end up with a high pick.

Thank you both. I used that strategy last year and it worked well. Any other ideas ?

I tend to scale how many points I spend on how good of a pick I get. I spend a lot if I have one of the first 4 picks (I spent 62 points this last draft with the first overall pick). And I'll spend a few if I am in draft position 5-8. I will spend NO points if I am one of the top four teams in the league (also if I'm in the top half, but that's just me, others might spend a few just to snag an 18 year old). This will change if anyone with a higher pick goes bot as they pick randomly (even brand new teams because they won't have enough points to find a good pick).

First you need to get everyone's height and age (scouting combine). Do the group demo if there are 10 or more 18 year olds with 1 or 2 gray balls. Then scout all 18 year olds. Then interview the 18 year olds with 5 ball starting skills. If you have a middle pick, don't interview.

Sort your list by age, then potential, then desired height, then PF/min (lower is better), then grade rating/skill balls. Height is a bit more fluid depending on what you want to do. If you are looking to create a homegrown player, then it is very important. If you are looking to sell in the postdraft frenzy, it is not important at all.

Hope this helps,

Also, spend 10k per week on points. I built up 62 over 2.5-3 seasons of saving.

Thanks for answer. I am spending 10k per week and now I have got 5 points, I need 18 for group demo, and scout the top 4 players. I do this like that because nobody cares draft except one team. So, if he takes my first placed player, I would be able to take my other players. Thanks, for help; I hope your post will help other managers.
