I think it is random but too random. Every season we read about some guy in division V somewhere who drafted three million dollar $6,000 18 year old superstars and will get a free ride to division III as a result. Meanwhile teams with the first pick in different leagues even after extensive scouting get guys worth $10,000.

I think it is the same as always it is just random patterns always look odd when looked at in detail.

Wow the first one is amazing and brilliant and makes me very sad. There is a player like the second one in this season's ABBL draft but I just don't want that. I want to draft a player who one day can be a starter in this league and that means a salary of $60,000-$100,000 and three ball potential just wont do it. You can train a very nice player with three balls but just be aware that after investing several seasons into him it will come to a grinding halt when he caps.

Yeah I know, fortunately for me since i will just be in IV league next season I dont need a 60k player. I just need a good 20-30k player which i think i can get from three balls. I'm hoping i will get both of those players because i want to train at least one of my rookies this upcoming season so if i get both of them i will probably sell the better one to get some more star power on my team and train the 5/3 guy.

If you plan to do it then list him right away. There is a feeding frenzy in the first week as serious trainers look for the best rookies and a 5/5 is the best so a million dollars may be heading your way as long as he has a good skill mix.

You're going to hate me yodabig. In my draft there are these two players (both 18yos):

5/5 A+ 6'2" PG prospect
5/5A 6'3" SG prospect

Last season I got a 5/5 A 6'4" PG, who turned out to be the future star of my team (22094402). And since I tanked to get below the only two other human managers in my league, I'm fairly confident of getting at least one of those guys in this draft, who will hopefully be as good as or better than Len Smiley.
