They don't really scout so I'm good

If you have a lot of active managers, especially active tankers in your league then you generally have an good ieda that they'll be spending a lot of draft points. So in those cases you'd generally be better off waiting until you promote to use your draft points and even spending points on the group demo will likely end up being a complete waste in that scenario.

Gotta be careful too, there are drafts like this one: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/16/draftSummary.aspx?season=21 - zero MVP+ players and only 2 Superstar 18 year olds. I ended up with a PA with the first pick (5 ball/4 potential).

Also, I'm sitting on 78 draft points and will be spending none this season.

edit: I'm just unhappy with that season because I actively tried to get the 1st pick, spent 64 draft points and didn't get a whole lot for it. I guess BB is just trying to tell me that tanking is bad

Thanks all for the advice.

I think I will just hold off my points until a better season. I'm willing to wait it out two seasons. I'm generally not going to go below pick 8 unless I reach Div 1. If I look at the odds, I should find the most talented player available with that many draft points. So I'll take my chances with the lower pick. I'll be happy with a superstar or better. PA will be disappointing but have to take what I can get.
