Thanks for the advice, both of you.

I could save them until next season, however it is likely I will still be in this league, on top of my conference, leaving me with no chance at a good draft pick.

Oops, did I shoot early again?

You could keep saving till u do get a higher draft pick even if u have to wait a couple of seasons.

Im interested in this comment:


Since you won't get 5-ball 18yos, you have two possible draft strategies: going for 19-yos or going for 4-balls.

Why wont he get 5-ball 18yos?
Am I missing something here? I saw plenty of 5-ball 18-year olds in the draft last year, im pretty sure I even drafted one?
What am I missing in my knowledge here? Im not criticising, im actually really curious!

generally speaking, if you are first in your league and draft late, the teams drafting in the first rounds will pick the 5-ball 18yos if they invested in the scouting process. Until you draft yourself, 14 or 15 picks are already gone. And there's perhaps 4 to 7 5-all 18yos, so the chances of them being picked are pretty low.
