well, thanks to everybody for the suggestions.

I finally thought that what I am looking for is a trainable SF.
Small Forward has averall good skills and need to have high OD, ID, JS - I hope if something will be wrong with him that I can sell him for some other positions...

I am going to be the 5th in choosing, so If I have a very bad luck I will got a SG A+ of 19 yo:

1- C °°°°° A- °°°°° 18
2- SF °°°°° A- °°° 18
3- PF °°°°° A- °°° 18
4- C °°°°° A+ °°°° 19
5- SG °°°°° A+ °°° 19

put everything 2 ball or below at the bottom of the draft. for both POT and grade
then i ranked the player from
5 star 5 pot
5 star 4 pot
5 star 3 pot
4 star 5 pot
4 star 4 pot
4 star 3 pot

I think it depends on what you want from the draft. If you want someone that you can sell for more then the 4 star 5 pot and the 4 star 4 pot should be ranked higher.

Actually there is such thing as a right answer and reddaddy's is the correct one.
It's absurd to give up a full ball of potential (potentially the difference between Perennial all-star and all-time great) for a fraction or two of a grade level (potentially probably 2 or three total skill levels, some of which might not be all that relevant to the player's position). It's just absolutely terrible advice to try to suggest that your strategy is the best way for a team to proceed.

potential is the most important in my opinion, you may not have a great player right away but if u stick with training them they can become some of the best players on your team.

and if you are planning on selling they also sell for the highest

pick an 18 year old with high potential, and don't pay attention to A+ A or A-

Yup, I still think you're wrong in part because you're overvaluing the transfer estimates (or likely fabricating it to fit your argument). I have a pretty hard time imagining a sub-$5k star potential player selling for 1.5m (or even $600k). I also find it fairly hard to imagine such a player earning more on the TL than a Hall of Fame prospect with an alright but not great starting salary. But since you sold neither player there's no way for us to figure it out one way or another.

I also find it fairly amazing that you kept notes on the TPE value of your draftees when they were first selected 14 weeks ago. At the very least I think you're drawing extremely broad conclusions from a single draft's worth of experience without selling either of those draft picks.

I feel obligated to point out the merchandising side of it, that if you intend on training the players you drafted, and only those players, then their value on the transfer list doesn't mean very much at all. It would help if we knew how much of a merchandising bonus you got for playing with the players you drafted, as without those numbers it is next to impossible to tell who is correct, but if that is the route that you are choosing to go, you should value potential at what you think its actual value is, not at what the market values it at.
