Im trying to decide which of these players should be at the top of my draft list.
player, star rating, potential, position, grade rating, age, height
player1 , 5, 5, PG, A-, 18, 6'10"
player2, 5, 4, PG, A+, 19, 6'2"
I really like player 1 especially being a 6'10" PG. meaning it will probably be easy to make him a well rounded player, but the A- rating is worrisome. I know I've been disappointed in the past in A- rated players. usually not worth keeping on my bench.
player 2 on the other hand might be good enough to be a bench player for me but he's 19 and a little less potential. also more of a pure PG probably. just looking for some opinions. thanks
Player 1 really won't be worth "keeping on the bench." Either you train him and enjoy having a wonderful starting point for a very well-balanced player, or you sell him and enjoy a lot of money. Player 2 you can stash on the bench, and certainly I wouldn't mind drafting him in the second round. But player 1 is by far the superior prospect whether you're looking to train or sell, and could be the type of player to build a team around, while player 2 is a guy you can build a scrimmage roster around or train to be a halfway decent player, not a cornerstone.
