Very hard to have guys you drafted yourself on your team in the top divisions because if you are winning you are getting horrible draft picks. Two of my starters are guys I bought very young and trained up (one as an 18 year old rookie). It is also so hard to train forwards, they take forever. By the time you have trained a C, some forwards, a SG and finally a PG your C would be 40 and retired.

In the old days when every draftee had allstar* potential it was very easy for teams to train their own draftees but now it is so much harder when such a majority of draft picks are totally worthless. Mind you my team is not a good example of what I am saying, I have had a lot of luck with the draft and if I had put winning aside I could have achieved close to this.

that's pretty impressive, to have a whole team comprised of your own draftees and still be competitive in a div 3.

Wow that is completly incredible. Massive respect to those two teams. Best I know of in Australia is a division II team but they have bought three of their players, but the rest are either drafted or original team players. (196120)

I've always thought that it would be fun to go for a fully homegrown team. Those two teams that have done it must get some excellent merchandising. I imagine you would struggle a lot in your first couple seasons, which would lead to great draft picks that you'd then have to creatively train in order to develop a strong team with depth. Perhaps saving all the money on never buying players would allow having the best trainer, thus making two position training at normally C and PG one position skills more effective. Also, you'd be able to devote a lot of funds to arena growth.

I've currently got a starting SF that I drafted, a backup PG that was on my original team, and a backup SF/PF that was on my original team. I've also got a couple draftees who are hanging around 'drawing a paycheck'. The rest of my team has been acquired via the transfer list.
