I found 2 x 19 A+ 5/5 guys in my draft. Hoping to score one of them.

I invested 10 points in the Group Demonstration, and found 6 x 5-ball prospects, and 2 x 4-ball prospects. The rest of my draft order after those eight is some sort of mix of random/lucky numbers/sequential order.

If I could get two of my top 8 picks, or even if one of my 3 draftees has any potential (not necessarily the stat "potential", I mean the conceptual kind), then it will be a successful draft for me.

I did group and then interviewed 5/5 guys. Got 2 5 balls and rest were less.
There was 1 I did not interveiw so I put him first just incase he is a 18 year old. Surely I can't miss out on all my top 3 picks. Hopefully I get 2 of them.

Looks like we may have found the same guys haha

quick draft occured at 1.30am perth time today not to bad i reckon hope some people wake up to an awesome draftee and not scrubs like mine

I didn't spend a single point this season - did i do alright?

I picked up 3 pretty good 19yos. The first player in particular is interesting - 60 TSP with a pretty unique skill set. Interestingly, all of my draftees have strong shot blocking - I didn't target it, so I'm not sure what the odds of that are!

It seems to me good 18 year olds will be worth more. All the decent draftees in my league are 19 years old.
Sure one was a 4500 MVP and an other a 4000 HoF but it seems there was not a single decent 18 year old in my league at least.

quick scout of dratees of over 3.5k and all star potential has shown this.

There were only 15 18 year olds who fit the bill. Of those there was 1 MVP and 5 superstars

And 86 19 year olds with 5 HoF, 10 MVP and 20 Superstar
