I bet this was asked many times but is star rating (number of balls after scouting once) related to potential and/ or grade rating?
If not, should I then compare match rating of all the players scouted once and interview the ones that look promising?

I interviewed all the players with 5 balls star rating and ended up with one having 1 ball of potential, making me wonder if star rating is random.

5 rating relates to initial skills/ salary. Potential refers to potential( Hall of tamer, super star, etc.). A player can have top notch skills initially(compared to others in draft class) but have no room for growth.

I'm following you but isn't salary already affected by grade rating? I mean, if grade rating is the number of skill points a player has, that is already affecting his salary.

Where am I wrong?

The grade rating gets more specific, IMO. Star rating will generally tell you that your player is an "A" caliber player but the grade will show if he's A+, A or A-.(Same with other letters)

Has anyone scouted a player with more potential balls, than star rating balls?

People told me it's possible but I still haven't found anyone like that
I got 5/3 5/2 3/2 and one 3/3 guy

Search the TL for 18yos with less than $2k salary and MVP+ potential. Clearly they had less than 5 ball star rating judging by their salary, but they had 5-ball potential (MVP+). There are at least two such players on the TL right now.

i had some players with 4/5 , 4/4 and 2 players with 3/5 a few saisons ago.
i interviewed all the 4 ball-players and the 18 year old(plus right height) 3 ball-players cause i draftet in the last places.

and last draft i took an 19 yer old mvp who was at 2k salary. i think he would have had 3 balls (but i didn´t scout anyone in that draft)

Thanks for the answer. I heard it before, but haven't encountered such players yet.

Horrible draft so far btw, spent 28 point and haven't found anything..

Ouch, have you done either scouting combine or group demonstration?

Can anyone post the thresholds for A- / A / A+ in terms of rookie salaries ? Is it 3700-4000-4300 ?
