I guess the 5balls before scouted would be the one-and-done players, like Durant, Griffin and the 1-2balls before scouted would be the late boomers, like Westbrook and Michael Redd

yep, me too, but you can´t argue that both players has extremelly value. Durant was always thought as the next superstar, while Westbrook had some doubts if he could play at a high level in the NBA, if he had the skills to play as a PG

I'd rather say those late bloomers are players with 3 ball scouting value and 4 or 5 ball potential ;)

the prescouting numbers are basically word on the street - which might no mean much, if a good player plays backup for a better one in college, he might be totally off the radar (think Eric Bledsoe or Landry Fields this season... those would be 1-2 prescouting ball players with some nice skillset after scouting)

You're kidding, right?
He was the 3rd overall pick in 2006 and doesn't have a job now
Rajon Rondo,Rudy Gay,Brandon Roy, Paul Milsap amongst those chosen behind him
although most of the others were better too

When you say the 5-balls you have interviewed this season are better, you mean they have a better potential ?

My understanding is that the grey balls take the potential into account. They roughly represent the star level and the potential. So a 1 or 2 grey-balls may turn up to be a 5-ball star level with 2 or 3-balls potential. It's still very cost effective but you'll have it hard finding the greatest trainee using this method.
In a sense, 5-balls or better higher up the list if they have potential.

The list is loosely based on real levels though.

Can we get a consensus on this:

Is there or is there not importance to the original 5 GREY balls
or are they random

I did the combine
I've been scouting my 18 year olds and there are plenty...7 done,20 still to go
3 have 5 grey balls...1 has 4...7 have 3...
That leaves 9 with 1 or 2 and another 9 that are 19

Not to mention the 11 that are 19 with 4 or 5 GREY balls.

I figure I'll have another 20 points to use

Don't want to waste them on the Demo if it is indeed a waste
