Good contribution :)

Here is my contribution: http://n2.hk/d/attachments/day_160524/20160524_96bf51d609...

BTW, what stats do you think that could tell you about the potential? Purely luck?

I always look at TOs number. For those 4 TOs (or more), I dont think they are good players, especially big men who could be difficult to train up.

Besides that, if a player has stats in Pts, Reb, Ast, Stl, Blk and have 0 in both PF and TO, they are usually good and high potential (not 100% guaranteed, but 80% sure).

Correct me if I am wrong.

I relate turnovers to handling.

I relate personal fouls to defensive skills.

None of that is "scientific." I'm not sure that potential can de divined from the box score.

This is a link to part of the boxscore from my last game. This player is by far my best Center, Power Forward, or Small Forward. He is currently my best backup PG/SG too. His boxscore is not that impressive, but it was just one game and he did everything I needed him to do.

So I do think draftees' boxscores are randomly generated based off of the draftees' skills, but I also bear in mind that it is just one game.

Okay so since I'm really curious about this season's draft, I have to share my 1st pick.
Odds of getting this young man are pretty high as I pick 4th and the 3 teams below me are inactive.

What do you guys think? This one looks awesome right? Can't wait to share the draft results!

At least he looks like a good (inside) shooter with hopefully some JR as well. Based on the minutes played and amount of FT (13-15) these two skills could be respectable. I truly hope the 4 steals will lead to some outside oriented skills as this guy is pretty tall: some outside starting skills would be perfect.

Only things which bother me are 6 TO's and "only" 6 TR. Besides that, he looks like the perfect draftee to me.

Opinions?

Nope not bots yet. Their latest login is just more than a month ago, except from one team with a barely active manager.

I wouldn't expect much Handling (6 TO's) and Passing (0 Assist), but the 6 TO's might have been 6 bad passes, too. Maybe the 4 steals indicates some decent Driving + OD for a big man? My players with respectable Stamina play about 42 minutes in my games, but I tend to play slower offense/defense pace combos, so I'd guess maybe high end mediocre or better on Stamina. Hard to go wrong with 5/5/A+ I'll be interested to see the result if you nab him, nice find. I'd keep my expectations low and remember that sub-levels won't show, so even if he has more inept-averages than you anticipated they could bump up a level after a week of training or you could see some unexpected early bumps from cross-training (training that goes to a random skill).

So for comparison, you could relate the number of foul attempts with offensive skills? I got a guy who is 2nd in my ranking with a 43 point game with a 13-15 foul shooting night. Now he's second for a reason or two, but its kinda hard to ignore this boxscore. Although I agree it is one game

I don't know any more than you do but I like your thought process. It sounds like you've scouted him twice so potential (skill cap) and grade rating (starting cumulative skill/salary) are what I would put the most weight into, using the box score to guess potential weaknesses or deal-breakers. I would expect decent FT shooting, and speculate Driving + an Offensive skill (JS or IS).
