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.

Yer im my opinion, i think people put a higher value on the potential of a young player, rather than their stats.

Also to take into consideration is their age and height. Obviously 18 year old better, but the smart buyers out put bigger value on shorter playerrs for guards, and taller players for centre/pf.

So im my opinion, id go with A-B-C-D, in that order. As long as you get A or B, you should get a bit of dough for them.

Personally, I am a big fan of 4-5 star classified as SF's that are either very tall (for becoming inside men) or very short (for becoming guards). This way I will get a player with secondary skills that with time could turn into a complete player. I also put some emphasis on boxscore, as it is an indicator if it is a multi-talented player or a one dimensional cirkus act.

I believe the role means nothing in draft.
Sometimes it happens to find SG with no OD... and you can't tell me that's a SG.
When I have to choose I just look at:
1) age (19 years old are way less attractive than 18yrs)
2) Skills (5-4 balls are ok. 3 balls only if the potential is high)
3) potential (4-5 balls are great, 3 balls is ok, 2 balls and under no way)
4) height (this is the last one because i usually sell my rookies just to buy one on the market with the right combination of skill\height\potential).

Anyway, I'd go with A B C D, but don't expect anyone of them to be a steal.
