I've only scouted one player below 3* so far (out of 10).

Could quote this from the previous 5 seasons or so when I post about the draft, but..

screw the draft, it's worthless.

I'm not going to disagree, but since I'm not going to bother to buy any players, the draft (as it is) is just fine with me.

Real question: how is that possible? If you didn't invest, how do you see so many players? Are these just the original scout estimates? The original estimates are usually notoriously off.

Sorry for all the questions. As this is my first season in Div II, and I'm getting pounded, I am looking at my lowest draft position in a while. I don't want you to give away secrets or anything, but just a little advice. Thanks.

I've been scouting based on age and height before projected ranking with a fairly good level of success.

Also i was being sarcastic earlier with my 5 star count but it might actually be accurate. I have 11 5 stars and roughly half have been scouted.

Aye captain. Just hope you're 5 star PG has better than inept JS, or awful OD on the SG. ALways have tons of hope with the draft only to be disappointed by a core skill being horrible. Seems 5 star (erm ball) centers are the only real safe option to draft when it comes to core skills.

Not that crappy starting skills are much of a deterrent to me. I mean, I still have this guy:

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

I was just referring to the original scouting estimates (and yes I know they are not even close to being accurate) I haven't actually scouted any players as I am getting tired of wasting money on the draft as I feel like it is just a crapshoot (how good a 5 ball will actually be and how deep a draft will be) and was just trying to make fun of the draft really. I do feel like the new draft is an improvement though, especially with enabling you to see the height.

I really like the new draft. I dislike how expensive it is though. I pay around $20k a week which is probably on the high side for a playoff team and can't even come close to scouting all the players.
