I believe the draft favors the lower leagues in terms of the strength of the draft. Therefore you would need to be extremely lucky to get a great draftee in the ABBL.

Its completely random.

Its just that there is 64 drafts in div4 compared to 1 draft in the abbl.

You got 64 chances more chances of getting a rookie draft pool.

Would you say there are 64 crazy good rookies from div4? Probably not.

yes to echo Koops - i believe i read this statement a few seasons ago and it got debunked.

people thought that because 10 HoF-mers came out of Div IV, but only 1 came out of ABBL, that meant that the lower leagues get better draft picks.

From a total number perspective, yes the lower divisions appear to get 'better' picks simply because there are more leagues!

But in a single league, it was shown that the odds of getting better draft picks was even across all divisions.

Hence my wild suggestion that maybe there is a factor of 'amount of cash spent by active teams in that league may influence draft quality.

it would be worthwhile statistically investigating that IMO.

Be very interesting to see who I can get for what.

Starting to get dillusions of having a serious go at winning the cup although I need to put them out of my head and focus on this season.

The really smart thing to do would be not to replace the 3 players until the Allstar week, this would give me an extra 400K in savings and it would give more time for the right players to show up on the market

3 of the top 4 ranked teams have already been knocked out.

If someone could knock out Whitebeard it would open up a little
