3 balls means he wont be able to get to a decent level to be anything then a back up in a decent level league.
He would not be really bad but would max out potential at about the 20 to 30k range.
B- means he is the bottom end of 4 balls in skills.

4 balls potential means he is premenal allstar or superstar which means you can get his salary upto and a bit over 100k and be a starter in the top leagues. Most my players are prem all star including my 100k C. Def the best guy you have listed and would not be a bad pick up unless his height is real bad. How tall is he and what position is he listed at? This is also something to consider.

So I will discard the 3 balls potential draftee, thanks for the info (:

About the other one, is a PG, 188cm. It's perfect for me, because I'm training OD for PG (:

@Wolph: Great post!

Those type of players are high risk high reward. Perfect scenario is that they have good outside skills and ok inside skills and can make them a SF or PF (if you don't want to train them too much out of position). Worst case scenario is they have poor inside skills so they are too tall to train as a guard and skills are too low to train as a big man.


Position is determined by the skills - not height - so it's obvious that those scouted players have good PG skills and lousy big men skills. I think in the second scenario you mentioned they are trainable. They (inside trainees) will have good secondaries at the end.

188cm is good for a PG. being a PG means he has decent skills in Driving, Handling and Passing. As a rough guide.
Sounds like a good player to train up.
Hope you get him.

Its not always obvious. A player listed as a PG could have mediocre type inside skills or Pitiful inside skills and you wouldn't know.

can I jump into the question?

right now I got 0 points

partly because I did the scouting combine like a couple of days ago and well, found about 6-8 guys that are in my height range (6'7''+ for training a Big) that I will scout. Is the 4 points per week worth it or not? I usually do 3 pts a week, 4 more weeks left in the season=4 players to evaluate.

Now my MAIN question is, will the 4th point help? Or just stick with 3 points/20k a week?

Hmmm... I'd say the 4th point will give you 1 more point than 3 points. ;)

Economically, it doesn't make sense, as that last point is very expensive. Over time it is not advisable.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

It will allow you to scout more players. Whether it is worth it depends on whether the extra players you scout are good or not. So it may or may not help you.

I would stick with 3 and just interview the bigger ones and work down. If they come back 1 to 3 balls drop them right down your order and put those with 5 or 4 balls at the top. Those you don't get round to leave in the middle and take your luck.
