totally random is too extreme as well. It's what people say on the forums because they feel that way but I haven't seen any good studies on it. The consensus though is that it is a really really poor estimate. I guess there's probably a .01-.10 correlation between the grey balls and eventual skills but that still means that you can't really rely on it.

I have a question on age vs potential. Looking on people's opinions on how they'd rank these players.

Player 1: 5/5...A+...PF...Upper 6'...Age 19
Player 2: 5/5...A.....PF...Mid 6'......Age 19
Player 3: 5/4...A.....SF...Low 6'.....Age 18

Heights are broken into ranges 6'- 6'4", 6'5"- 6'8", 6'9" -7'. Figured I'd be a little vague on the heights in case any league spies are around. :-)

5/5 A+ is amazing. It's just a shame that he is 19 even the third player is better than what most people can get in their drafts.

I also think that A/B/C are better than D/E/F. The latter 3 will either have star or all-star potential which makes having better starting skills pretty much pointless if they're going to cap out after 2-3 seasons.

Take the 18 year old and don't look back. Losing that 1 full year of training is a killer and the 18 year old will still have decent potential.

Well that doesnt actually matter unless he wants his player on the U21 team because he can easily make up those missed pops later since they have higher potential.

This is a truly awful train of thought. Sorry.

Anyone that doesn't think there's a significant difference between an 18 year old and 19 year old draftie hasn't thought this through properly.

I would go with player 1 myself.

Player 1 - Player 2 - Player 3. In that order.

Player 1 is awesome. First off he's a taller PF rather than center which means he has decent starting outside stats. With A+ stats, you make up a lot of ground that you miss since he can't be trained at 18. Overall, he could well be in the 5,000 range for salary which is HUGE for a 19 yr old. He could be an All Time Great. Or at worst an MVP. That far outweighs the 18 year old possible P-All Star. Overall, you will never have to worry about capping his stats for a long time with such great potential.

Player 2 is also awesome. He is still better than player 3. Having uncapped potential is extremely valuable especially as they player gets older (23-26).

Player 3 is pretty good. He'd make a great draft pick in any year.

Overall you have been amazingly lucky. My best draft pick using 10,000/week is a possible all-star B- 18 yo old

No need to apologize. However, anyone that doesn't think there's a significant difference between an MVP potential player and a P. All-star potential player hasn't thought this through properly.
