Ya my draft is crappy too, i pick about 6th so hopefully i get some decent people that I can put on TL and make some cash

Everyone, good news, it is available NOW!!!

I scouted 11 five-ball players, but only 2 got double scouted. They are rated A and A+, both 3 ball potential, both 18. Should I go for this A+ guy or take a chance on one of the other 5-ballers?

P.S. can someone post that list that details what each ball rating correlates into, potential and salary wise. I know it's on here somewhere but I can't find it.

I forgot who posted this:

1 announcer

2 bench warmer
role player
6th man
starter

3 star
allstar

4 perennial allstar
superstar

5 MVP
hall of famer
all-time great

How much do you guys pay attention to the box scores? I scouted a PG once and he only had a 3 ball rating but scored 39 points on perfect shooting (14-14 from field, 3-3 from 3 pt, 8-8 FT) with 5 assists, a few rebounds and blocks and only 1 TO. I have him ranked 5th atm behind three 5 ball and a 4 ball with good stats. None of the 4 players I scouted twice have more than a 2 ball potential

That guy probably has great offensive skills but really lousy defense

Just to add on to that :)

(What potential can translate into)
Bench warmer - 8k
role player -13k
6th man - 15-17k
starter - 21-24k
star - 33-40k
allstar - 40-65k
perennial allstar - 80-100k
superstar - 125-145k
MVP -165-195k
hall of famer - Unknown
all-time great – Unknown

Hi my first draft and I need some help. I spent 20k a week since I started and wanted the draft to make my team great but no-one leaps out at me. Best guys I have seen are :

3 ball skills 4 ball potential 18 year old
5 ball skills 1 ball potential 18 year old
5 ball skills unknown rest

Which of those three should i put on top?

Should I keep the second guy near the top or will that potential be too bad?

I think next season I will spend $0 a week, it really seems like a waste of money now, maybe ok for div one teams but for starting teams I could buy a lot with that money.

This is my first season too. But here's what I did.

1) I moved all the draftees with 1 & 2 ball skills to bottom
2) I moved all the draftees with 1 & 2 ball potential to bottom
3) I moved those with 4 - 5 ball skill / potential to the top
4) I moved the ones in the position I wanted to train (i.e inside based or outside) to the top)
5) I compare the grade ratings and tweak the top picks
6) I look at the rest of the draft and see if any 3 ball - 4 ball ratings are worth moving up
7) I make tweaks based on the game stats. Shots made, assists, turnovers ( I want guards)

note:
I also move 3 ball players below unknown players. Since l like gambling a lil : )
I also did pick a few with high potential ratings but low skill ratings. Since I don't mind taking time to train them. Or if their skills really blow, I can always sell em off : )

Like I said, its my first season. So I'd wait for some one else to give u advice as well. No rush... there's like 10+ days to finalise your draft picks ;P
