A lot depends on luck. Last draft I picked 5/5 18 yo and he ended up being MVP with 48 tsp. One of the polish managers picked up 5/5 19yo and he had 72 tsp and if I remember correctly hof potential. So in that case it was definitely worth taking older player, and because this draft is supposed to be better there is a good chance that 5 star 19 yo player will have close to 70 tsp.

Yeah, you are right. But it is still safe to expect 5 star 19yo to be around 60 tsp

Of course you guys are both right. I shouldn't have used word safe, I was writing that at work and didn't choose a good word there :p What I meant is that is not unusual to see 5 star 19yo close to 60tsp. But 2 posts before I said that it all depends on luck. Bottom line is you can get 19yo who is good and trainable player.

But not any more random than 18yo. Original question was:
Is it worth getting a 19 year old 5 star 5 potential player? I want to know if it is best to find an 18 year old instead despite those ratings.

My answer is yes, it is. It's better to take 5/5 19yo over random 18yo. Unless you find 18yo that is 5/5 or 4/5 you have better odds of getting more value from that 19yo.

Ive been reading this thread and I had a 5/5 A+ 19 year old that I had 3rd on my list behind two 5/5 18 year olds. I didn't get the 18 year olds but this is how the 19 year old turned out.


Weekly salary: $ 6 283
Role: draws a paycheck
DMI: 0
Age: 19
Height: 7'1" / 216 cm
Potential: hall of famer
Game Shape: respectable

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

Experience: atrocious TSP: 62 (30 + 32


Could use a season of 1v1 for forwards and some passing training but this guy is pretty good for a 19 year old draftee.
