Do people share information they have about the players they scouted? I thought that it will always put the person who will draft higher at a disadvantage.
The draft is set up so it is very difficult to share information accurately.
I have seen the arguement a few times about not scouting a poor player a second time and I would like to throw my 1.5 cents in. The ratings for these players are not in comparison to the average person. I look at the 1 star, D- players as still the best players on thier teams by far (high school, college, whatever)
Example: When I played High school ball, there was a kid on our team who was better than anyone in our conference by far. He got scouted often by top college scouts. A scout from Indiana came and saw him play once and he was sick, played horrible, and we got creamed (Definetly a 1-2 star scouting session). A couple months later when we were in the regionals, they scouted him again and he had an outstanding game, far surpassing his normal stats. He played for Bobby Knight and the Hoosiers the next season. For those who fact check, his name was Dean Garrett. Sure he put up a 1 star effort the first time, but really that is compared to all the 0 star F- players no one scouted (like me!)
The ratings are in comparison to the field of excellent young talent, not to all the players that play. Hope that made sense, lol.
