Just to make this clear, you do realize the only thing game stats are good for is finding out if your guy can shoot FT's, or fouls a lot.An A+ grade rating player could be 0-11 from the field and be a SG.

I am not even sure if they are reliable for that. I think all things considered they are only useful as a tie breaker if the players are exactly alike in all other ways.

Well, I had this debate already with someone else, but if you guys think all the boxscore is good for is to see if they can hit a free throw, then you are missing out on some pretty decent skill indicators. I see lots of people saying how useless the boxscore is, but just because there is no quantifiable skills or definitive answers given by a box score doesn't mean it's useless.

but when you share the box scores with your guys from the league, where you expect that it is the same player the boxscore are sometimes really different - which means there is a lot of random involved.

I am using it for a tiebreaker between my 5/3 A+ and 3/5 C.

Useless or not, that guy must have torn it up that game!

OK, I could explain to you what that boxscore tells me, but I don't want to give up any of my secrets ;)

But it's not surprising that the 4 and 5 ball talent had worse box scores. They are not very useful is comparing player A to player B since there are too many variables in terms of the level of talent they were playing that game, what offense, what defense, etc.

Hi!

I have a ranking question too and need to take your advice. I have 3 players with 4 star ratings and 2 potential ball and 6 players with 2 star ratings and nothing else. All players are at same age (18). Do you think I should gamble and rank these 6 players over others or not? I will sell the draftee probably.

Well none of these players will likely sell for much but 1 and 2 star players usually have have very poor skills so i put them down the bottom of my list.
