Good. This is still my first season, and I don't know what to do for drafting. The only good prospect I got is a PF-and I already have a good combo at that position. The position I need the most is PG. SG-got a trainee C-got a trainee PG-got people that will last for a while, but You can't rely on them forever. PF-Good cobmo with a vet that can last about 5 seasons. SF- My strongest position with a talented trainee and a GOOD VET.

more

i spent $20k/week every season but 1 when i spent $10k/week & after all that i never got someone remotely trainable until 2 seasons ago i got a 3k pallstar & now this season i got a $2,900 mvp

most wouldnt even think they r worth training but it is so close to impossible to draft a good player that u just gotta take what u get

all those saying yeah just go out & draft a 5/5 with great skills dont know how hard it is

some people get dumb luck & can draft a star without even scouting, others try & try & never get lucky

after spending 20k/week for 8 seasons somewhere around $2 million spent on scouting i have found a 3 ball 5 potential guy worth 50k

Well, I guess there's like a 2% chance of me getting dumb luck.(1 out of 48 chance). There's always next seasons. Isn't there like 3 seasons per year. Right?- Winter/Spring- Late Spring and Summer- And Fall/Early Winter (In Northern Hemisphere)

Who wants to make this a global thread? ROOKIES well, I think this will eventually come big as the draft nears.... but it can draw attention. This thread has turned more talk than help. (now)

Man, everyone plays the game in their own eay, but if you are looking at effective training, you shouldn't have a SG trainee and a C trainee at the same time.

Just my 2 cents.

In my best drafts (my first two seasons playing) I did $10-20K scouting each week, and drafted the following players:

Season 15 draft
Pick 11: Garfield Jacob, 18yo $4k allstar (19239363)
Pick 27: Donnie Anderson, 18yo $3.5k MVP (19239352)
Pick 43: Bryant Swimm, 18yo $2900 superstar (19239366)

Season 16 draft
Pick 12: Paciano Carino, 18yo $5K HOF (20742032)
Pick 28: Jay Munoz, 18yo $4900 starter (20742053)
Pick 44: Bruno Miller, 18yo $3.5K superstar (20742059)

Of those, only Bruno Miller is still with my team. Now I really wish I would have kept Anderson and Carino, but Anderson had atrocious passing which was a big negative and I just wanted to focus more on Miller than Carino, so I sold him for a decent profit. I see he ended up with an NBBA team now, good for him.

I guess the moral of the story is: in D.V, anything's possible. In D.IV, it's harder but I hear you can still get lucky. I had my eyes set on an 18yo 5/5 A+ 7-footer who turned out to have $5K salary and HOF potential, but he was taken with the #2 pick while I had the 11th. Hoping for better luck this year as I've found a 5/5 A+ PF who looks to be pretty good.

5star 19 year olds are underrated.


Why are they underrated? They are worth training only if they have a good distribution of secondary skills and a good potential. I wouldn't mind drafting a HoF SF/PF with stats like:

6, 5
6, 5
5, 6
6, 7
7, 4

It probably doesn't get much better as far as a rookie goes, but at 19y he probably couldn't sell more than for 200-300k. Since 1 in a million rookies gets made like that, I guess there's really no point in scouting 19y olds.

Well, I suppose if your only criterion for a valuable draftee is how much you could sell them on the TL, then sure, 19 year olds aren't useful.

But if you factor in the merchandise bonus for a home drafted player, then a good 19 year old with nice starting skills can be very valuable.
