OK I don't know who to pick first on my draft list, deciding between two players.
Player1 : 5 Star, Grade A and 4 Potential, but really bad box score 0-8 FG in 20 mins.
player2 : 4 Star, Grade & Potential unknown, but 15-19 FG in 40mins.
Would it be wise to just go for the Grade A player be safe or gamble on Player 2?

i personally use the boxscore just as tie breaker betwenn players with the same information.

I agree with the crazy one. The rating is concrete, the boxscore from one game is exactly that, one game.

Pick Player 1. Boxscore is a false friend, a hint what attributes that players has high (up to respectable except FTs and stamina). If it looks like he is great overall and has lower amount of balls/stars, I would be afraid of how bad is his defense.

I have looked at my drafts last season and this is what I had:
Season 8:
1: Star 4B, Pot 5. Had $3416 MVP (9)
2: Star 4? Pot?. Had $3439 Superstar (8)
3: Star 3? Pot? Had $2477 Starter (4)

Season 7:
1: Star 5A-, Pot 4. Had $3743 Perennial Allstar (7)
2: Star 5A-, Pot 3. Had $3847 Star (5)
3: Star 3?, Pot?. Had $2833 Allstar (6)

My guess is something like this:
For stars in $:
5: >3700
4: 2800-3700
3: 2300-2800
2: 1900-2300
1: <1900

Potential:
5: 9-11
4: 7-8
3: 5-6
2: 3-4
1:<3

But it is pretty wild guesses. If my information is pretty close to truth I would like 4 or 5 stars and at least 3 in potential but 2 could actually be quite ok. Much rather 4 star and 2 potential than 3 star and 5 potential if considering training possibilities. But I would still rather pick a 5 potential player as people would overpay for such player.

Comparing 18 and 19 year old drafts are also tricky. I would require pretty much to prefer a 19 year old player. I would rather have a 4 star and 2 potential player than a 4 star and 5 potential player that is 19 if I had to chose for my own training purposes. But again people will pay a lot to have a 5 potential player even with rather crap current capacity and a 2 potential player is not going to be especially good anyway so of such reason I would go with the 19 year old.

Haven't find anyone with a well estimated list for star and potential. I do not consider mine as especially good but it is much better than nothing to base your draft picks on

could you help me please
i have information about 42 player
13 of them have 5 star rating
and their stats like this

5star rating------ grade rating A--------- potansiyel 5 star-------age 19
5star rating------ grade rating A(+)----- potansiyel 3 star-------age 18
5star rating------ grade rating A--------- potansiyel 2 star-------age 18-2 players
5star rating------ grade rating A(-) ----- potansiyel 2 star-------age 19
5star rating------ grade rating N/A ----- potansiyel N/A-------age N/A - 8 players

one more player
4star rating------ grade rating B(+)----- potansiyel 4 star-------age 18

and also one of the 5 star players whose grade rating and age are unknown have performed 35 points, 7 rebs, 6 asists and 3 steals

do you think which player i have to list in first three or four lines

thank you for your interest

I think I would put:
5star rating------ grade rating A(+)----- potansiyel 3 star-------age 18
4star rating------ grade rating B(+)----- potansiyel 4 star-------age 18
5star rating------ grade rating N/A ----- potansiyel N/A-------age N/A - 8 players
5star rating------ grade rating A--------- potansiyel 5 star-------age 19
5star rating------ grade rating A--------- potansiyel 2 star-------age 18-2 players
5star rating------ grade rating A(-) ----- potansiyel 2 star-------age 19

At least if considering training. First player probably is salary > 5000 and potential starter to allstar. Could you train to at least 35k in a few seasons and that pretty fast. Looks like a potential U21 player for sure. Second player could with some luck have nice abilities and a salary of $3500 and Superstar potential. I am not sure where to put a 5/5 19 year old. you should certainly have 2 potential players below unknown players as these players are probably not that good. Could actually be better to put a 4 star and 3 potential player ahead of them as well.

Would be good if the first guy was 18 but any 5 star rating with 5 star potential will be a great trainee. The 4 star 4 potential guy is good too as he is 18

thanks mates

I think I will put in this order:
5star rating------ grade rating A(+)----- potansiyel 3 star-------age 18
4star rating------ grade rating B(+)----- potansiyel 4 star-------age 18
5star rating------ grade rating A--------- potansiyel 5 star-------age 19
5star rating------ 8 players will be listed depending on their match performance
5star rating------ grade rating A--------- potansiyel 2 star-------age 18-2 players
5star rating------ grade rating A(-) ----- potansiyel 2 star-------age 19

Yeah i was thinking a similar order 2 and 3 could possibly be switched. Guess its younger train faster versus bit older better skills and more potential hard to say.
