You're right, I was talking from my perspective there, and frankly, I do believe that. However, I'm in division V with probably two or three players who are paying attention, so that won't apply to everyone. Last year, 3 guys better than 4 star / 2 potential were taken with the last 8 picks in my league, so I know it can happen. If this guy (10592140) is pick #46, then it's an entirely credible strategy.

That said, you are probably right for the majority of people, who are not in a wildly uncompetitive league.

Another very good point. It's becoming obvious that I was only thinking about my position when I said that. I'm doing 1 position big training, and I have the guys that I'm focusing on already, so unless I get someone outstanding who convinces me to sell one of my trainees, they won't get very much training. So mostly I'm focusing on finding people who will sell for a lot, or if they have low potential, could take over a starting spot.

Thanks for the info. Also, what are the odds of getting an 18 year old player because I have several players that I only scouted once but have 5 star ratings? I'm wondering whether I should try my luck with one of these players and hope that he's 18 with decent potential.

Its totally random and would come down to luck. You could end up with an 18 year old with good potential or a 19 year old with low potential. As you can see the draft is tough because u never feel like u have enough information to rank your players how u want.

as the guy before me said it is random, but if you take a late pick the prohability is higher to get a bad one because the good one get pick earlier fromthe opponent if they got their info.

I know Superstar is 4 balls potential b/c I got this player (10594736) in the last draft and he was a 4 ball potential player.

I also know that P all star is 4 balls, so at least those are facts :)

Also i'm also trying to collaborate this info and hopefully get some accurate results from this season's draft.

Ha that guy is nothing compared to this one

Basil Frame (12018636) Shooting Guard
Owner: Rosudgeon Raptors
Weekly salary: $ 5 042
DMI: 81400
Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: hall of famer
Game Shape: proficient

Basil Frame was pick 21 in the season 10 draft by Rosudgeon Raptors.

I wonder what their first round pick was like?

Getting back to the main topic, for my star ratings this season they were 1 x 1, 5 x 2, 12 x3, 6 x 4 and 8 x 5.

This is a brilliant thread can we get it added to the "Important Threads" so we can refer noobs to it?

If any one remembers the letter grade and starting salary of their draft picks or they are willing to share them after this draft, please do. I would love to hammer out a better guess as to what letter grades = what amount of starting salary.

Right now and this is just my first guess and one that I am not very confident in.
A+ = 4500+ (I have seen rookies with a 6k starting salary before)
A = 4200 - 4500
A- = 3900- 4200
B+ = 3600-3900
B = 3300-3600
B- = 2900-3300
