Dear Big Njord, thank you for your welcoming answer. I am very excited about BB. It sounds really cool.
I have set my investment on draft and scouting to zero for now until I become familiar with the game. Do you think it is a good idea?
I didn't see any 17 year old player in the transfer market. Is that true that the youngest player that I can buy is 18 yo?

What do the two numbers in parentheses mean in front of a player's TSP?
I have a lot of question like this one, but other than this link:
buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thread=144856&m=1
and the manual, I don't know where to go to get my answers. For example, I see a lot of acronyms in the website and since I am not very familiar with the game of basketball itself, I don't understand them at all. Where else can I look to learn more things?

The 2 numbers are just a break down of TSP.
First number is total JS, JR, OD, Handling, Driving, Passing
Second number is total IS, ID, Rebounding and SB.

Thank you aussie dude and Big Njord both. Your help is appreciated.

How do you get those star players? What tutorials and stuff? I havent gotten one?

Sorry, but I don't understand the player stats well. Here is an example:
Looking at an earlier game my player: FG:14-26, 3FG:3-9, and FT:0-5. I suppose each FT is 1 point, each field goal is 2 points, and each 3FG is 3. So, he should have earned 14*2+3*3+0*1=37 points. However, he has gotten only 31 points according to player stats. What am I missing?
By the way, what is +/- in the next column in player stats?
Thanks again.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Hi again. Philosopher Kings says in the help section that: "Isolation Offenses: There are two types of Isolation offenses, Inside, and Outside. They both are very similar. Your best Inside/Outside scorer is utilized for a balanced attack each possession. This does not mean that they shoot each possession; they could drive and dish the ball to another player or open up another play."

I want to make sure I have it right because I am somewhat illiterate in Basketball. Here is my question: I have weak guards but I have a strong small forward. My opponent is a BOT and playing base offense and man to man. Is it a good idea that I choose outside isolation for my tactic? (I suppose the guards and the small forward are my outside scorer. Thus, my small forward will have the ball all the time because he is the strongest. However, I am not sure if the small forward is considered outside scorer. Can he not be considered also an inside scorer?) Generally speaking, who are outside and who are inside scorers? Thanks.
