Get 6 more draftpoints and interview all 8 depending on there size offcourse. If you train guards go for the 6'4 and lower sized trainees and if you want to train centers go for 6'7 and taller trainees. Bots draft random so you have a good chance in landing a 5 ball trainee. But they must have a minimum 3/4 ball potential.

Thanks for the answer! (:

Well, this means spending 26 points in total. And I will not know heigh until I will have personal interviews with them. So, now, I wonder if with this additional 16 points (apart from the 10 points I already spent), wouldn't it be better spending another 10 points in Scouting Combine, and have 3 additional interviews with the 18 years old draftees that may appear among these 8 I found.

Any suggestions?

if you have less than 10 18 years old with 1 or 2 grey balls that are NOT interviewed yet, then don't do scouting combine, as let's say you got 8 of them, scouting each of them separately will cost you 8 points whereas it'll cost you 10 with draft combine

I would interview the guys you have. Potential is the main thing and by doing that you will have 2 or 3 real good options.
Be a shame to spend all that money and get someone with no potential to train.

Spend the 16 points on interviewing all of them and order them as best you can. I was in a bot league like you last season and got my 2nd pick at 16th spot and got an even better player I had not interviewed with my 2nd pick. Lucky I got him. Had I interviewed him he would of been my 1st pick.

Potential is more important then current skills. With the 8 guys who have decent starting skills you will find 3 maybe 4 of them are 4 or 5 ball potential and worth getting.

A 5 ball 1 ball guy is a waste of money and time. A 4 ball 5 ball guy would be much much better draftee.

Thanks again to you all, guys! I followed your advice and already discarded 3 of the players because of 2 balls potential. I got a 4 ball potential with grade rating A.

And the 5th interviewed draftee is like this:

4 balls Star Rating, 3 balls Potential, B+ grade rating, 18 years old. Would you pick him among first choices? Potential is not so good, and I don't know what the B+ means...

3 balls means he wont be able to get to a decent level to be anything then a back up in a decent level league.
He would not be really bad but would max out potential at about the 20 to 30k range.
B- means he is the bottom end of 4 balls in skills.

4 balls potential means he is premenal allstar or superstar which means you can get his salary upto and a bit over 100k and be a starter in the top leagues. Most my players are prem all star including my 100k C. Def the best guy you have listed and would not be a bad pick up unless his height is real bad. How tall is he and what position is he listed at? This is also something to consider.

So I will discard the 3 balls potential draftee, thanks for the info (:

About the other one, is a PG, 188cm. It's perfect for me, because I'm training OD for PG (:

@Wolph: Great post!

Those type of players are high risk high reward. Perfect scenario is that they have good outside skills and ok inside skills and can make them a SF or PF (if you don't want to train them too much out of position). Worst case scenario is they have poor inside skills so they are too tall to train as a guard and skills are too low to train as a big man.


Position is determined by the skills - not height - so it's obvious that those scouted players have good PG skills and lousy big men skills. I think in the second scenario you mentioned they are trainable. They (inside trainees) will have good secondaries at the end.

188cm is good for a PG. being a PG means he has decent skills in Driving, Handling and Passing. As a rough guide.
Sounds like a good player to train up.
Hope you get him.

Its not always obvious. A player listed as a PG could have mediocre type inside skills or Pitiful inside skills and you wouldn't know.
