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.

Yeah, I wanna "SAFE IT" ...Sounds like My best option at this Point ..He has good Potential and Its not like i can't train him at 19 ...Thanks for your Help/Opinion!...

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'...

Its not strange because the grade rating relates to their current ability the same as star rating. Potential is separate. 2 potential wouldn't be good enough for me so i would have that guy fairly low. Close choice between unscouted and the 19 year old depends how lucky u feel.

although i agree with you the player does seem very good and would likely have a decent starting salary. If he wants he could spend part of a season training him till he caps his salary, remember 2 ball potential is either 6th man or starter so he can train him to about 15 or 20K depending on the potential. It all depends on what he wants.

Do you want a player you can train for a few seasons? Or one that you can train one or two seasons only and get to a fairly decent level?

Yeah i guess its hard to answer when people are asking would u choose this player over this other player. As you said it all depends on what you want from the draft which can be different to what someone else giving an opinion is after.
