eh for those of us without untold millions, a 75%ish winning record and a team that averages like 50k a week per starter, yeah it sucks. For the rest of the league it actually is a way to get a player that can help in the future. Yes we all know you don't need the draft. Congratulations. Moving on?

Anyhow with my pretty high draft pick (4th I think) I should get one of my top two kids, both 18 one with 5 star potential, one with 4. Either one will be a good start on next seasons training. Now I can only hope for a ridiculous name like Will Smith.

You have the 3rd pick, I'm 4th. I think I've convinced myself to rank my 2 unknown 5 star dudes ahead of everyone else, which is terrifying.

Well if I picked 16th every season, I would think so too......

I was looking forward to the draft mainly because I have never been able to select what I want.

The downside is I don't have enough information to make the best choice. Such is the life when you don't make the full investment. But then I didn't expect to be in this position at the beginning of the season and tried twice to get out of it. Ah well, I will be back with some better players. How long depends which division I get exiled to.

Any thoughts as to which one is the best one/worst one?

Well, looks like I got my (reluctantly) #1 pick. He had 5 stars, A+ grade, and 4 star potential, but that whole pesky 19 year old thing is a bit annoying. At least he's super balanced!

Point Guard
Gerard Pappas (9207486)
Weekly salary: $ 5 091
DMI: 0
Age: 19
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: average
Driving: respectable Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: atrocious Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: strong

Experience: atrocious

I'm kinda curious to see what the stats were on the two 5 star SGs that I didn't have a 2nd scout on, wonder if they were any better than Pappas.
