Who do you take...

18yo 6'7 5 Star 5 Potential SG Grade A

18yo 6'6 5 Star 4 Potential SF Grade A+

Are these two that different?

The 18yo with 5/5 is better in my opinion than the other. But I don't think you need to worry about these players. You are in the top half of your league and if the bottom half is paying any type of attention to the draft then you don't really have a chance if getting them.

Almost always I would take the higher potential one.

Shooting guard, for three reasons:

1: the potential makes him much more valuable if you decide to sell him.
2: A grade rating is not that much worse than A+, so he'll still have solid skills.
3: SF listed positions often come out of the draft with lower skills than other players, because they have high grade rating due to JS/REB. They also almost always have low IS, since if their IS was high they would be listed as PF, so that's at least one skill hole you'd have to fix. So it's entirely possible for the A player to actually have more skills than the A+ player.

Of course, it's improbable that both of them are still available for you when you pick, and in fact both of them could be gone (hopefully not for your sake). So the choice will likely be made for you, but if you were to be so fortunate as to have a choice between the two I would go with the first player.

5 potential players with an A rating are very rare. Always go with a 5/5 guy if he is available. You have a beast coming your way if you can draft him.

As has been suggested above, I think you have almost no chance of drafting either of these guys. The last two teams in your league with a quick look are not bot. If you need more info on your chances, have a look at your leagues economic averages for draft investment, if that number is above $10 000 I would suggest a good deal of the teams are watching the draft.

You look like you have as much chance as I do. : )

Depends on what you want to train in this situation. I personally would want to train the SF because I hate dealing with big salaries in my rookies but the best prospect of the three would probably be the 7'1" PF because since he is a PF his secondaries are most likely fairly decent due to A+ skills and being listed as a PF instead of a Center. This way you can train him just like a center but he will naturally have better secondaries than all the other centers and will train just as fast as the other centers because he is so tall. He is the most promising player in my opinion.

Question: was that just a scenario or do you actually have these three players in your draft? :O because if so then your draft is stacked!
