If you have the points for it, if you have a low pick, the 18yo's aren't that good, and you don't mind him being 19, then I say go for it.

If you have at least 20 points you can do both the scouting combine and the group demonstration. If you put 4 points or 2 points in (I put 2 points mostly the whole season except for two weeks where I did 4 because I had extra money laying around) I had 24 points. This allowed me to do both those and interview two of the three 5 ball prospects that it revealed. By the time the draft actually comes around I'll probably have 6 - 10 more points which will allow me to scout the remaining 5 ball prospect and 10 of the 13 unscouted 18 y/os.

Now if I scout someone and they are a 1-3 ball they just go right to the bottom of the list and don't get interviewed. So I hope to find one or two more 5 ball prospects and interview them. If I'm lucky I'll get my top 3 picks (I probably won't as I'm winning my league this season.)

But if I can get 1 of my top three prospects the draft would not have been a waste as I'll be getting essentially a blank slate player to either train or sell. If I get an MVP or above that player is going right to the TL as you can get a really good profit on a player like that which will help my team more than anything. So all said and done this process will take me around 30-34 scout points. So for a 340,000 dollar gamble that I'll get one of these players. One of these 5 ball at least Perennial Allstar players would go for around that price anyways so I don't feel like I'm getting shafted or anything.

It's all up to what is important to you, as I said in the initial post the draft is really fun for me (I'm a Cleveland Cavaliers fan so that might have something to do with it) and you may want to take that 340'000 and have invested it into your arena which is a great idea as well. But for me I look at it in my all bot league as a solid shot at getting a 5 ball 4-5 potential A-A+ player that can either be a great trainee or even that million dollar player. Which to me is a great investment.

I have some good news for you. 34 scout points x 5K each is only $170,000 spent.

So if it was worth $340K to you, then you're getting a great bargain.

i got 34 scout points. but i don't really trust the draft this year. gonna get some numbers and hope for the best this season!

and then go for the potential NT player of the future the season I KNOW i am gonna demote.

"Donny Beauchamp was pick 19 in the season 23 draft by LaxBros".

You never know what opportunities you may be missing...

That's D.V though. It is a lot easier to have people slip down the charts in D.V because many people do not know how to scout properly. If I were him I would also wait.

Turtle posted the draft from: Draft summary for league IV.29 in season 23

Ah my bad. I apologize to him then. I didn't even notice the league. With that being said I would still wait in toughs situation because he probably has a good chance of promoting and getting much better draftees next season (he also already has numerous trainees thy he is dealing with right now).

Just remember that an NT player can rise in salary faster than you can promote in order to support the salary of the player potentially forcing you to sell off a beloved player.

Build a secondary skills monster than :)

It takes a long time to raise up the salary to where its best not to keep him unless you are a Div 1 or 2 team.

I'd keep an 18-19 year old rookie in Div 5/4. Then train him his whole career. Especially if he was MVP.

If you are in Div III or better, its harder to get good training for a rookie unless it is during cup and scrimmage games.

Where as in Div IV/V you can train 3 near rookies no problem.

So therefore you should be keeping your high potential rookies. It will pay off via added merchandise in the long run no matter how high his salary gets.
