Your first draft pick is number 11. So you got draft picks 11, 27 and 43.

If someone drafts your 1st pick then you will get next one on top of your list.

BTW financing next season's draft begins next(or last week, not 100% sure) week, not first day/week of new season.

Again though, I had suggested this before... You should have a scout and you could scout by position and attain a weekly breakdown of what the scout found. The better the scout, the better the chances of you getting lucky.

Say you wanted to scout SG's and it takes you 3-4 weeks to scout all the SG's available (ex:9 of them), then you could pay more to scout them again, and again it would take time to go to all those games and compile a report (2/week=4-5 weeks. So perhaps you scout every shooting guard twice, but it's taken well over half of the 14 week season to do so and you now have to choose whom to scout next with what little time and resources you have left.

I think this would encourage more spending during the season on the draft.

Also, anyone else notice the high number of 19 yea olds? While the draft was being put together and there were double the normal amount of players, I compiled the numbers on 70 scouted players and 73% of them were 19. I think this is to help slow down high salaries around the world. Perhaps to curb 400k /week centers.

I don't mind the current system, I just wish I could get my list and then choose who to scout twice...I scouted a one star PG twice..That would never happen..He sucks..I mean he got an "F" rating. Why would my team have asked him back for another work out? Waste of money... Peace

here an idea for more interactive and fun way to look at the draft you start out with 14 scouts options right? so if you go the all way and spend 40k*14 weeks you need to have 56 more and total of 70 scouts right? so he is a way to try and do it you start with a blank list of 48 guys and chose randomly a number 1-48 and then he get the first scout you left with 69 scouts you look at him a 5 stars SF you want to scout him again you do so and you get 1 potential you say hey that was my problem i chosen to scout him the second time and you left with 68 scouts then you take another scout at random (your choise a number from 1-48 minus the guy you scouted alredy) so you get a 1 star player you dont want to cout him again and you move to the next guy and left with 67 scouts to go that way ppl will invest in the draft and will have more interactive way to do so

first of all thank you for your answer

the suggestiong that i say was shooting from the hip more or less

most ppl are complaining abut 2 things one the lack of interactive in the scouting system and second is the "lame" players scouted twice the suggestion that i wrote i think deal with bouth problems.

i am not a fan of the corect scout system as i got "burnd" more then once in season 8 i think i scouted 40k a week for 13-14 weeks and ot 3 players and i couldent keep in my team and sold 2 of them for 56k in total and fire the third

I know that if you do take (and i am not saying you are going to) some new system i know it will change the prices or the number of scouts or bouth personly i think that way more teams will invest in the draft even if you will get less info from it\it will cost more as you have some controll over your faith

personaly after the "burn" i got i dont invest more then 5-10 a week and even then i dont do it with a full heart and season 8 draft in my league was a good one alot of high potential and good start players ended up in my league but i dident scouted any of them (i was piking 8 a good spot in the middle) so if a 40k investment and a dicent spot dont give you more then 56k or event a traineble player i dont see how you say that "the top players ended up compared to draft position and amount spent on scouting"

but i am going away from the the point on my post i think alot of ppl will rather pay slightly more for slightly less if you can have some controll on what you get and i think that what i say do the same work as to top players depend on how much you spent on scouting

yup

apparently the reason you can't scout all the players is to give the top players, i.e the players with draft pick 15 or 16 etc a slim chance of getting a decent player. If you could scout every player a lot of people would and of course would pick the best of them, this would only leave the lower level players for the other teams.

i got horrible scouted players too, that's just the way the cookie crumbles however.

think about it if you were in the top position and picked last, how would it feel to see that the players you chose at the top of your list got selected first round? and you were left with random dodgey players to pick from
