After using 2 and a half seasons of scouting for a player I won't even bother to train.
I bought a better 18 year old yesterday for $13,000
He would have been a 5 ball with superstar potential

Not really whining - just pointing it out
could have tanked like some other teams instead of placing 4th
also hoping that finish is my worst for seasons to come

Forgive me for bringing up an old subject, but I wanted to respond to this:

I wanted to just see what the breakdown was for my league, and here is what it came out to............. total number of players for each potential level...........

Announcer - 0
Bench Warmer - 3
Role Player - 7
6th Man - 14
Starter - 3
Star - 6
All Star - 6
Per. All Star - 3
Superstar - 3
MVP - 3
Hall of Fame - 0
All-Time Great - 0

In my opinioin, 24 of the players were useless........ meaning half of the players were useless.

Wow, your draft had 3 MVP guys? My league had 0. 0 MVP, 0 HOF, 0 ATG. In fact, there were only SIX players in the entire II.4 draft with allstar or better potential. SIX. But potential isn't the whole story, as a $5000 salary star potential guy is far, far more useful than a $1500 salary MVP guy, wouldn't you say?

Additionally, your draft pick is pretty good. I've capped two star potential guys that have been very useful; one, my own product, who still gets playing time in D2: (7923262), and two, a guy I bought as a well-trained 19yo who, after I capped him, went on to play for Silverbacks and win 2 USA Cups and an NBBA silver: (9092331) Star potential isn't the end of the world.

Sorry to comment on this with a different question but:

I noticed both of those players got up to about 20-25k and they were star potential I have two 18 year old allstar guards that I want to work on traininga lot through these next few seasons but when will they probably cap out?

I look at it like this:

Star potential: 20-25k
Allstar Potential: 30-35k... Is this right?

Yeah, what Manon said, salary has little to do with it. Both players I linked have rather unique builds, Buenfil has lots of OD and ID for a guard (much more than his JS/JR), and Ludwig is closer to a SF than a PF.

From experience I've seen Star hitting more than $30k and All-Star more than $50k. I'm sure if you browse the TL and set those parameters as minimum salaries for those potentials, you'd find quite a number of them.

Edit: I checked the TL and there were quite a number of Star potentials with salaries hitting an excess of 50k lmao... and there was an allstar in his late 20s with 90k xD I don't know if they're over-trained but their primaries were very high.
