Do you have any more points?

If you invested 40k per week for 8 weeks, that makes 32 points. 40k x 8 = 320k. If you get the first pick and use the order you gave us, that guy may be worth around 500k, so it's not entirely wasted money.

Sometimes you will get a beast and sometimes a mediocre SF who you sell and get back your money.

In my first draft, I got a 18y old with 4.5k salary and allstar potential (Vanja Zorin, I'm still training him). Two seasons later, I've got the best player in the class (6k salary, superstar, all respectables in guard skills except an average for JR - Dean Polh). Next season I will invest in the draft again and might get a really good player or a mediocre one. But just in case I will also save up 1,5 million to buy a good draftee if my will be mediocre. In that case, I will just sell it.

I have a dumb question that I can't find in any Help area...is the Potential rating from 1 to 5 balls? Or 1 to 3? Please say 1 to 3...

Sadly 1-5

From what others have said, 3 ball potential maxes out around allstar.

From a FAQ by NakerVirus (the only thing I've seen regarding this):

What do the draft balls translate into in terms of player salary and potential?
Salary
5 balls = $3,700 and higher
4 balls = $2,800 - $3,700
3 balls = $2,300 - $2,800
2 balls = $1,900 - $2,300
1 ball = $1,900 and lower

Potential
5 balls = 10 - 12 (MVP - All-time Great)
4 balls = 8 - 9 (Perennial Allstar - Superstar)
3 balls = 5 - 7 (Star - Allstar)
2 balls = 3 - 4 (6th Man - Starter)
1 ball = 1 - 2 (Announcer - Role Player)

Good lord. I interviewed EIGHT 5-star guys, and none of them were better than 3 ball potential. Gonna be an awesome draft...

Well, everybody loves a MVP guy with 2K starting salary, amirite?

Come to think of it though, of the 5 five star guys I've interviewed, I've got 1x4 ball, 2x3 and 1x2. Of course that last guy is an A+ *sigh*

I will have 42 scouting points - and I'm not using any of them.
I won't draft high and I'd like to see how new rules will affect me
when I carry them over
perhaps for 2 seasons and use them all at once
that will be a well scouted draft
Also keen to find out if I can get any decent player with no scouting at all
Got just about all the trainees I need right now
