It's a bit offtopic, but not that much...

S17 draft I drafted a 208 cm SF with 5 balls for skills and A+ grade with great statistics of the game. Great, isn't it? Well, beware for such "great" players...


Weekly salary: $ 4 691
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 8100
Age: 18
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: mediocre
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: inept
Driving: pitiful Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: pitiful

Experience: atrocious

So that's A+ SF...no thanks! This should be at least A-, if not less.

I'm not sure why you think he should be A-?

His skills that contribute to SF salary are all high, and may have high sublevels. And if his salary now is $4700, I'd reckon it would have been higher, and given the age of the estimates for grade rating to salary, he'd very likely have been A+.

You just got unlucky that his non-salary affecting skills weren't great. Happens to all of us.

and if you trained that SF in handling and passing, he'd become a PG.

It's one reason I don't particularly like to draft guys who are listed as SFs. Often they'll have good JS and RB, but big holes in other important skills, like defense. My guy this past draft was and A- $3700 SF, and he had 7 JS, 6 RB and a total crap 3 ID/OD.

own fault for not interviewing the player....

A- would have some 3k guys.

disparity between A+ and A- is quite large
