My draft was so disappointing, I'm drinking cold Coors Lights left over from last night's Super Bowl party. And I've not drank this early in the morning in 20+ years.

And yes, the mountains are blue. They were left outside all night, so cold isn't even the word for them.

My guess is inside players are worth more because they do produce better. My inside guys dominated this season and that's why I won. In last night's championship game, my 20 year old center trainee had 40+ points and like 16 rebounds. My forward led the league in scoring and won the MVP. Yet my guards had better skills and I even played outside based offenses from time and time without that kind of success.

Are inside guys easier to train than guards? Seems like, at least to me, guards have more skills that matter, while bigs have only a few skills that matter. Am I wrong on this?

That guy can definitely be a good player up into D3. And if you make it to D2, he could be decent depth, especially for a cup run.

As for home draftees, I suspect that a portion of their salary is returned via merchandise, but that the precise % depends on playing time. So he will still effectively have a lower salary than another guy with similar skills, but not drafted by your team.

Really though, this guy has very good starting skills, and decent height to make a nice combo guard. He has 1 awful skill (in one that's easy to train) and 1 inept (other than stamina). I personally would sure as heck train this guy up. He shouldn't be the centerpiece of your training program, but he should have a spot in it.

So you're saying there is no reason for me to be killing the cold Coors Lights this morning to drown out my misery? :)

THanks for the info. It is greatly appreciated. I think the fact that I got a 6th man potential and a Role Player potential player, in my mind, drags down the one decent draftee I got. Heck, last season I didn't even try and got THREE perrenial all-stars in the draft.

Completely feel for ya, gotta agree with folks about luck being a major factor when it comes to drafting. Last season I was middling in my league's standings and was looking forward to the draft. I had my eyes set on this one guy in particular and since I was the first human owner to pick after all the bot teams I was sure he was mine. Alas, he (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/22092682/overview.aspx) got sniped up by some bot team a few picks before me. On the flip side, I was #1 in my league this season so wasn't expecting as great a draft but I think I did pretty damn well. I'll have to wait until the draft history is listed to confirm but I think I managed to get 2 of my Top 5 despite my draft pick positioning.

I guess all I can offer is wait until next draft and hopefully the coin falls on your side next time.

Superstar potential?

Great passing skills if you train him as a big man.

yup, i love his passing:D since next 3 seazons gona train guards he can develop into a nice pf. Ill train him along with my 2 pg's. Btw this seazon on plans: passing and IS in few weeks. So he can really be a monster passer big man. with like 12 passing atleast

If you train him with guards for 3 seasons, i'd be very surprised if he ultimately end up at PF. Those are his 3 best training years and he'll be getting guard skills. Maybe he could eventually be an outside based SF.
