I agree with kilrtom, go the 18yo.

By the way, it looks like you will be 3rd pick anyway so go the 18 5/5, 18 5/4, 19 5/5. The choice may be out of your hands anyway, and you get the best of the rest.

It's not really a tough choice, you have to take the 18 year old. The 19 year old has already missed his fastest training season and you can't get that back.

If you're looking for a guard, you usually start scouting from 6' (since there's no sub six foot players in the draft, just on new teams). If you're looking for a big, you usually start scouting from the tallest down. The middle heights generally are only scouted by people scouting the entire draft, looking specifically for a SF or maybe because the group demonstration showed they're at 4/5 balls for current skill.

I probably used to think that way but now I realize that you need well-rounded players in this game and the ones that are in the 6'4" to 6"9" range are easier to cross train than the taller and shorter players. Even if you want to make them a PF or a PG.

I do realize that with many new users, they want a player that is quite tall or quite short because they don't cross train and they just want his primaries to pop quickly.

Also factor in the people whom don't train just buy and draft to sell. They'll sell guys mostly likely to be bought high on market. Those are typically your more height-position specific players.


Few people train SFs. But everyone buys them. Many train bigs or guards and many but them.

Bugger!

Sounds like my efforts in my first couple of seasons...needless to say, I have given up on the draft until I am forced into a situation that demands I pay attention again.

Yikes, I would never spend that much on the draft. Ever. On the bright side, you could train him up and sell him to try and break even.

Great theory about the SF. Turned out he had atrocious IS so will be a challenge to train that skill. He did however have good skills besides that so might be worth training for a small forward despite that but with only perennial allstar he has too low potential for being really good. The players skills:

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