Hello everyone,

I am wondering how I can invest my draft points the best way possible. The scouting combine looks very appealing to me as I train the C spot and I get information about all the heights and ages. Otherwise it is not safe to say if there is ideally a good 18 year old big man prospect with above average potential.

On the other hand the group demonstration gives you information about 18 players for just 10 draft points. I think I have read that the “grey ball rating” does not give an exact indication about the actual strength of the prospects. Is it right? I mean if there is no difference between scouting players 1-18 and players 30-48 it might be worth a look to invest 10 points in there.

What do you guys think? Do you prefer the scouting combine/group demonstration or isn´t it worth a lick?

It would be nice to get some information from people who already have used these options.

both do have their advantages and disadvantages. It also depends on your draft position and the average money invested in the scouting process in your league. I personnally do prefer the scouting combine; if it shows me at least 10 players with 1 or 2 grey balls who are 18yo, I usually follow it up with the group demonstration.

and while there probably is a little difference between the probability of greatness for a 5 grey ball player and a 1 grey ball player, the effect of this rating is pretty limited, so don't fear using it.

Jus my two cents.

Thanks for your reply Mathcorejay.
It is a very interesting way to use both scouting tactics. I did not even think about it but maybe I will give it a try.
Maybe somebody else has an opinion on this topic and might share it with us? :)
