Sometimes providing for your team is to maximize those stars and push them when their at their youngest to get the most out of them. It may not seem so at the time but in the long run it pays off.

This draft I'm looking for young shooters. All I need really is one good inside shooter, and maybe 2 backups for Guard positions. I'm drafting one PF, but he was scouted once though, he was 7-7 and 1-1. 7 field goals and one 3 pointer. I didn't have many good prospects..the other one of the two was 3-16..yeah I know thats bad but I was planning on training JS, JR and defense ALOT this season..but he had 7 assists, 4 blocks, and 1 steal. 18 years old.
The last one was a SG, 7-13 0-3. 3 steals 2 assists and 1 block. 18 years old. A+ rating. The draft is a little bit luck..but if you know how to choose its not..I'm still looking seeing my team what they need to work on..my top priority, is for all of my team to average over 60% of field goals. That'd be awesome. Lots of teams haven't achieved this, but its mainly experience..


as always you dont know what your talking about.

the box scores in the draft mean nothing as you do not know what kind of def they were up against.

Fairly certain offense/defense is Base Offense - Man to Man.

Also pretty certain if you have a guy who shoots 4-5 from 3 pt range his jump range isnt going to be pituful.

A guy who shoots 13-15 from the line is probably physical and is not atrocious from the foul line...

and in many cases you would be wrong, and when i said you dont know what the def is , i meant you dont know what level of def your up agaisnt a awful outside shooter could hit 4-5 3pt if his defender had pitiful outside def, granted it would not happen often, but it could happen in one game and that is exactly what this is one game.

everyone that knows what there doing in this game understands this and knows that the box score is the last thing you look at and has little to no bearing on your choice in the draft.

the only real time it would come into efect and then still its very unreliable is when you have 2 identical players within your draft info.



OH and you one ball me for a post trying to help shaq understand that he again is using the wrong info, yes it came across very direct but over time ive learnt you have to be direct with shaq or he doesnt learn.

i wasnt being a smart arse for starters, just didnt want you confusing new players again with your talk of the box scores and you do know you just gave an example that supported what i said and not what you said right?

box score means nothing/ pot,age and grade rating mean everything.

I picked based off of box score last season and it worked out just fine...but I would only recommend doing it if you are picking between players who you don't know the potential and age of.

So...I had no 5 star players with 4 or 5 potential last season that were 18 yo. Instead, I picked the PG with 5 star rating and a ridiculous stat line. (37 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, 17-20 shooting, 2-5 3pt). I got a very solid PG, who was unfortunately 19 years old.

I think it is safe to assume that incredible stat lines come from good players as my player reflected his stat line very closely in his skills (respectable JS, mediocre JR, respectable PA, average PD). However, this is an isolated example, and I would always choose a 5 star, 4 potential, 18 yo with a crappy stat line over a 5 star, ? rating, ? age guy with a ridiculous stat line.

my worse drafted player this season had a great stat line (30 pts,8 rebounds,2 assists,2 steals, 4-4 3 pts, 17-21 shots)

his highest skill was average on shot blocking , he had awful inside shot, inept jumpshot, pitiful jumprange and he was 19.

once again, and ive read other theads that say this also the box store means almost nothing as you do not know the level of def.

but by all means ignore me and draft via box scores, especially if your in my league.
