Draft list is closed, fear not your leaguemates' scouts anymore and tell us what your top prospect looks like, and what number do you pick?

I pick 9th and my top prospect is 5/5 - SG - A+ - 6'0''/183cm

I'm kind of excited, as it seems the league average on scouting expenditure was very low all season. Hoping to be able to swoop him at pick #9.

I've built some exciting players from the draft, but it's a bit of a crapshoot. I have a 5/5/A+ 7 footer in my draft, but I don't think I'll get him. Most of the other prospects seem mediocre. I put in 2 points a week, my fewest ever, I had put in more in previous years. I usually aim for PG trainees, not Centers, but it's hard not to go after a center like that. I don't know what I'll do if I sign that guy though, I'm training a guard to rival the world's best and I don't know if I'm gonna give that up in favor of a post player.

My original plan was to spend nothing but with two bots picking ahead of me I decided to spend most of the points I've invested in this season. Last season I spent nothing and got nothing but with a slightly earlier pick I suspected I might find a decent pick.

Unfortunately all I've been able to find is a couple of draftable 19yos, one a 5/4 who might at least be worth doing something with, and a 4/4. Probably a loss overall but not a complete waste. Oh, and I pick 10th, but I'm not convinced too many ahead of me have spent much on the draft.

Well spent 20-40 points in hopes of getting a good guy. I got a 4/4 B+ 18 yo and a 4/3 B 18 to. I hope to get the 4/4 but I got the 12th pick in the draft. It'll be a work of BB Magic for me to get the guy and if not I guess I just have to settle with the 4/3. If I don't get either my draft will suck balls........

I have only scouted 19yo/s in an attempt to actually get something better then allstar potential


I scouted some 18 yr olds but with the 11 pick I decided to put a 4 ball 5 ball 19 PG and a 5 ball 5 ball 19 yr SF at the top of my list...just hoping everyone skips them because of their age.
