So Potential is THE most important thing when looking to draft talents? And the stars and grade tells you how good the players are now?

Yep potential is king.
Grade just shows where they sit in the current skill level.

This game is amazing!

BTW, does the minutes in draft box score matter?

Which one would you prefer? Both are 4-star rating. Not scouted yet, so I dont know their potential.
Player A , 7'0 , PF : 25 mins , FG 3-12 , 3PT 0-1 , FT 5-6 , 5 TO , 3 PF , 11 points.
Player B , 6'10" , C : 26 mins , FG 5-9 , 3PT 1-2 , FT 4-6 , 2 TO , 5 PF , 15 points.

5 fouls in 26 mins is way too much, he might be foul prone. so i would take player A.

Player B looks better in every segment except fouls. If you plan on training, don't even bother with that one. It will be pain in the ass to get him enough minutes for full training.

but there are 3 match in a week, so... ;)

Foul machines are terrible. I had a guy that fouled like crazy. He taught me not to have those kind of players EVER again.

Here's his "best" streak. :)
Season 16
31.5.2011 29 mins, 6 fouls
28.5.2011 34 mins, 6 fouls
26.5.2011 15 mins, 0 fouls
24.5.2011 26 mins, 6 fouls
21.5.2011 22 mins, 6 fouls
19.5.2011 16 mins, 6 fouls

In season 17, he set a record with fouling out after just 11 minutes and that was the moment I snapped and sold him.
4.8.2011 11 mins, 6 fouls
2.8.2011 20 mins, 6 fouls
30.7.2011 21 mins, 6 fouls
28.7.2011 27 mins, 6 fouls

hello, i have 2 questions:

1. on which day is the draft?
if the draft is on monday, is there any point in investing in the draft this week?
or is it possible to use the points invested in this week next monday preceeding the draft
i have ran out of scouting points and could really use some.

2. my second question is what should i choose. i wound up with the second pick in the draft and the first team to pick is a bot so i'm free to choose whatever. after investing in combine and interviewing the top 4 draftees i came up with 2 player and don;t know what to choose.
player A rating 5 star, potential unknown, 18year, C, 6'10; 40 min 2/11FG 1/2 3FG 2 RB, 2 ast, 7 TO 2 STL 4 blk 4 fouls
player B rating 4 star, potential 3 balls ,18 year SF, 6'7, 40 min 7/16 FG, 2/2 3FG, 2RB, 3 ast, 1TO, 1 STL 4blk, 0 fouls

the point is that B is more skilled but lacks potential, whereas player A is weird (low FG for center, also fouls and turns the ball over, but he may be with bigger potential)

what would you choose?
will i be able to obtain draft points after this sunday and get to use them in this draft?

1. You won't be able to spend draft points acquired next week on the draft as draft picks are locked on sunday.

2. Box scores shouldn't be used to pick a draftee in the first place, firstable you must think in terms of star rating and potential (potential first)
