Also height excludes some players with good age,potential and skills...when I see 185 cm centers with decent potential,good inside skills but with very bad outside skills,I can't consider him as valuable for a training or a sell


In my opinion that is a problem with skills not being high enough rather than the height being bad. If he had good inside skills and decent guard skills then it might be very good to get a 185cm center.

That's absolutely true...but if he has bad outside skills,you would be pleased if he would be 20cm taller ;D

haha true, but maybe some stilettos with fishnet stockings ;) That would make for an interesting basketball game :D

I don't want to be misunderstood,I think that the new draft system is WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY better than in the past...but the average "height/position/age/potential" level of the actual draft is too low



Well, at least you're consistent in your desire to subvert carefully thought out game mechanisms to suit your own goals.
Misguided, but consistently misguided, definitely.

A better overall level of the draft doesn't give me any direct advantage

So,I don't really understand your comment

Actually, when I see a draft candidate as having a position that’s out of whack with his height, I actually like that (as long potential isn’t bad) since it means that I can train that player at his natural skill positions without worrying about rounding out some of his unnatural skill positions. For example, if I see a player is a 6’1 SF (or PF!), I’ll be thinking, hmmm, that player probably will come with decent inside skills, like rebounding or IS, something that’s pretty good to have in a well-rounded guard but a pain in the neck to train at the slow speed a short player would train at. That means I could just spend his training minutes catching up at the skills where he’ll be training at a faster rate! I’ve actually hunted those sorts of players on the TL and have a young guard I grabbed with these thoughts in mind who’s probably going to end up as my best guard within a couple of seasons. Just food for thought ahead of your next draft…

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
