Australia (and possibly Canada) have one of these, I liked the idea last season but didn't get around to it. We do ok for chat in the EBBL thread but otherwise it's pretty sparse in England (understandable given those who want to chat are spread through loads of other divisions..). So in theory this thread will give those people a place to chat about BB (and not BB? Idk how on topic we need to stay, ha) Chat on game days is alright mostly, and there we don't need to stay on topic - if you've never ventured in, do that too!

I'm starting with draft chat. Was picking 12th and only spent 20 points so didn't expect much.

Got my 2nd and 3rds choices which you have to be happy with - I knew 2nd was 19, 7'0 and with 8 OD and 7 blocking which sounds decent. 3rd was 18 and another big guy (6'9 this time) with good OD - in the end neither turned out great except the stats I found out. Best of the 3 is probably my last pick who I had 19th! For what it's worth - my #1 pick went to Phoenix Warriors.

Ultimately I don't think I'll train any of them, and I don't think they have much value either...Anyone excited about their pick/s?

I was last picking in D3.4, still managed to get a 19 yo ATG (47 TSP) and a 19 yo HOF (54 TSP). Decent draft but my division just didn't have any good players at all, the only other decent draftee was another 19 yo HOF and an 18 yo MVP.

I don't post often (haha) but willing to break my silence for this.

Got reasonable potential on all three of my draftees, which was fine since I didn't spend on the draft. 18yo 6'1 PG (nice) PAS (not bad at all) with 45 tsp (2 outta 3 ain't bad).

A balding 19yo allstar SG with 45tsp (I haven't told him yet but he's going to be looking for a new line of work).

And a 19yo 6'2 C PAS, and 57 tsp (30+27). I quite like him but probably won't keep him.

Haven't scouted yet so I've no idea what the draftees in general look like but when I do, I'll post it somewhere.

Luckboxed my way to a solid 19yo MVP 65 TSP having done no scouting what so ever and with the final pick in my league. #teamnoscouting

This is just out of the 18yos, across 21 divisions I think.

0 ATGs
9 HOFs
12 MVPs
17 Superstars
36 Perennial Allstars
41 Allstars
31 Stars

Now the 19yos:

2 ATGs
16 HOFs
18 MVPs
23 Superstars
48 Perennial Allstars
43 Allstars
44 Stars.

Seems in every potential group there are more 19yos than 18yos. Not at all sure that that's a good thing but what I think is irrelevant.

Congrats on the title last year , i took a sore one in the playoffs last year which left me very bitter.

nice pickup in the draft too , no scouting really seems to be the way to roll nowadays.

I invested 10 points in the combine , and just listed all the 18s year olds at the top and luckily fluked into a solid young guard

Hi can anybody rebid this player please (36659458) I need my funds free before 12.30 :(

Don't worry this player will cost more than 4M.

No

You're very helpful , ill show you my gratitude later on at our game.

Got a new doctor today, still didn't prevent one of my trainees getting any injury :(
