No as far as I can see the grey balls are worthless. It is the skill balls that seem to serve as a sort of potential soft cap.

The grey balls are definitely worthless. Sometimes a one grey ball can give 4 or 5 orange balls when you scout it.

ABBL draft looks like a norm again. Absolutely worthless. Only way you can get any good rookies from the ABBL is if your are lucky or named adam guns. =P Again I will save my scouting points.

9 more league games to go. Looks like the Great 8 is set in stone. abigfishy will have to win 6 of 9 games to catch up to slam! or urmummas to sneak into the 5th spot. In the Big 8, awesome, BLS and Park Bell Supercats are all fighting to avoid 6th spot.

Huge game tonight, Whitebeard hosting Pancakes. This will be a good chance for Pancakes to gauge his team against the benchmark of the ABBL so far.

I haven't done a huge amount of scouting yet - I forgot to put money into scouting at the start of the season ;)

I've done a bit though, only found 3 5 potential guys, and only the one I mentioned worth looking at at all.

The 5/4 guy is a SF though, and a pretty good height for a SF, so he may end up being ok.

I think you are geting potential and ball skills around the wrong way. A 5/4 is a five skills and four potential (superstar at best) whereas a 4/5 has worse starting skills but is at least a MVP and maybe an all time great. There are no five ball potential players in this draft unless you have been interviewing low skill 19 year olds or very low skill 18s.

The 5/4 SF may indeed be the best player in the draft, but that is the problem. If the best player in the entire draft has a starting salary of less than $3,500 and is a perennial allstar what do you think his market value will be? If you didn't mind the nationality you could get much better for less than $100,000. Certainly you can get a great player from a perennial allstar but at the moment I have run into capping issues with superstar potential players which really hurts. On the other hand he could be a well balanced superstar with all great skills and become a legend.

Sorry yeah, I meant 3 5 skill guys, but whatever

5/4 could be crap, could be decent. The fact that he is a SF with decent heights makes it more likely he could be a decent trainee I think though - could eek a bit more out of his cap.

That game has me really worried. My arena, more effort, your bad game shape, I had three of five starters proficient the other two strong and yet it was so close. Great use of the inside box and one, awesome (lol) to see someone use it with such good effect.
