He was only starter potential though so i wouldn't call it great. Not bad for 2nd last pick though.

Also division 4 draft where most teams are bot.

You won't get these scenarios in Aus div II upwards as all teams are active

I've been playing Norwegian top league this season. I was clearly the worst team in the division from day one and my objective was to train my two PF's in outside defense and passing to make them SF's. Therefore I knew I would loose most of my games (as I did) and are being relegated. I've invested 40K every week and I will let you know how my draft goes in a few days...

I hold the 6th pick overall in my current D-IV League (IV.48) ...And I am some what disappointed! I've been spending 40k (since all star break last season). And in both drafts I haven't' got a whole lot of Information. And it really ticks me off lol...
Because I have every player scouted with 23 scouted Twice! and the majoridy of the players scouted twice are scrub players! I don't understand why any real life GM/Scout would want to scout a crummy player twice! I have a few good Prospects but it's a shame because I can't see if their 18 or what potential they have... it's kind of lame... But I'm hoping I get this player:

SG/5 Star Rating/4 Star Potential-18yrs old with an "A+" grade rating

and my other prospect that was scouted twice:

PF/5 star Rating/ 4 star Potential-19yrs old with an "A+" grade rating (But it's a shame he's 19yrs old)

with that being said... do you guys think i should gamble... and put 3 (5 star prospects) in front of the 19 yr old or should I keep the 19yr old (2nd Reference) since I know his Grade rating is an "A+" and 4 Star Potential? Their are 5 Bots In front of me with the 1-5 picks.

I'd appreciated it Fellas thanks!

I would put the 19 year old ahead as he should be a decent player even at 19. The other guys could be 19 and 2 potential you never know. Thats the safe option anyway if you like to gamble a bit put the 5 stars ahead.

if i were you, i prefer the one with 5* rating, 4* potential, A+, 19yr.

i also spent 40K every week this season and will be the 6th pick in draft, finally 22 out of 48 scouted twice.

which do you think is a better option?

Case 1
i) 5* rating, 3* potential, A-, 19yr
ii) 5* rating, 2* potential, A+, 19yr

Case 2
i) 5* rating, 2* potential, A-, 19yr
ii) 4* rating, 4* potential, B, 19yr
iii) 5* rating (scouted once x 8 players)

By the way, why below player's rating is quite low? Should i put him in higher priority?
--> 2* rating, 2* potential, D+, 19yr; 13/16 FG, 3/3 3FG, 12/14 FT, bad RB/AST/STL/BLK, but he scored 41 points in total.

I've got a question...here's my draft dilemma:
I've got 6 5*'s scouted.

19yo 5* / 4* potential / A rating
18yo 5* / 2* potential / A+ rating
4 5*'s with unscouted potential

is it strange to have a 5/2 with A+ and a 5/4 with an A? What exactly does that mean? Any advice?

I've been spending 40k

I have every player scouted with 23 scouted Twice!


I spent $10K a week on scouting, and I have 32 players scouted with 10 scouted twice. So for $420,000, you got to see 16 more star ratings and 13 more potentials than I did. Doesn't seem worth it to me. Just sayin'...
