So would you draft a 4* player who had a horrible stat line (30 minutes, 8 TOs, no points, 1 Reb for a Center) over a 2* player who had a very good stat line for his position?

Yes, because those 4 stars are a initial judgment on the quality of the players skill levels. As I said games are very inconsistent.

There definitely is a specific distribution of the probability that a draft player has a certain number of stars. This distribution is the same across league levels.

And here's why koz knows it: (40492.8).

Hi all,

this is my 3rd draft and Im still not sure what the best ranking is for the players I scouted.
f.e. I have three 4 * with 4 * Potential and I have three 5 * with 3 *Potential... (all are 18 or 19 y)
So I asked myself who should I pick first?
Normally I would say I go with the guys who have more potential but as I saw in the last seasons a Potential of 'all star' is quite enough to train a good player.

In the end I decided to pick a 5 */ 3 * Potential player who fits in my training concept first and then pick the players with 4* Potential to sell on the transfer market. because there a high potential really matters and managers pay a lot more for someone who has superstar potenial.

Its all up to if you have the luck and scout a great player who fits in your trainings concept I think. If not its the best you try to sell the players with the highest potential and buy a decent trainee.

Hi Petra,

A response to #2:

I am not an expert and I had until now 2 drafts, but I had the luck to always have exactly the players I expected (not 100% but still pretty good).

And I do check their stats. Of course it's also important how long they played in the match but in general I think you can read more in the stats than most of the guys here believe. If you need an excellent shooter right away I think it is not a good idea to go for a 1-13 shooter, just because he has high potential. On the other hand, if you look longterm you should concentrate on the potential to have the best results.
