So who has invested in the draft this year? What are peoples expectations with the improved 19yo will it make drafting either 18 or 19 year olds a viable option?

When can we expect to see the draft class arriving?

I invested a small amount and targetted 19 yos, hoping to snag a decent player at a lowish pick. We'll see how that works out...

I have done similar, invested a reasonable amount hoping that there are several players aged 19 that are worth training hopefully there is and by investing this year I get the pick of the bunch before the rest of the BB catches on that the draft is now worth investing in???

Do you know what time we usually start seeing them?

I found 2 x 19 A+ 5/5 guys in my draft. Hoping to score one of them.

I invested 10 points in the Group Demonstration, and found 6 x 5-ball prospects, and 2 x 4-ball prospects. The rest of my draft order after those eight is some sort of mix of random/lucky numbers/sequential order.

If I could get two of my top 8 picks, or even if one of my 3 draftees has any potential (not necessarily the stat "potential", I mean the conceptual kind), then it will be a successful draft for me.

I did group and then interviewed 5/5 guys. Got 2 5 balls and rest were less.
There was 1 I did not interveiw so I put him first just incase he is a 18 year old. Surely I can't miss out on all my top 3 picks. Hopefully I get 2 of them.

Looks like we may have found the same guys haha

quick draft occured at 1.30am perth time today not to bad i reckon hope some people wake up to an awesome draftee and not scrubs like mine

I didn't spend a single point this season - did i do alright?

I picked up 3 pretty good 19yos. The first player in particular is interesting - 60 TSP with a pretty unique skill set. Interestingly, all of my draftees have strong shot blocking - I didn't target it, so I'm not sure what the odds of that are!
