I really think people are missing the mark about the draft, its value, and the players in it.

First of all, I don't think any team should spend much money on the draft unless they will have one of the first three picks.

There are plenty of valuable players in the draft. You just have to get past the prevailing (and false) notion that only players with high potential are useful. For the vast majority of teams in Buzzerbeater, mine included, high potential players are unnecessary. My 6th man has starter potential and a skill sum of 91. He was a 30th pick.

In addition, there is some value in merchandising associated with having players you drafted play a key role in your team. For a strong team, this will only happen with sustained, long-term effort, since newly drafted players will not be ready to contribute for quite a while and need to be given key minutes while they develop. However, there is a substantial long-term bonus associated with your key player having been drafted by your own team, so it's well worth the investment in the long term if you can pull it off.


Does this also apply to the players you started with? Because my best player is one of the players I started with. This is 44,5 seasons ago, and I don't see the big effect on merchandise you are talking about. I also have one drafted player that are in development and have performed among the best lately, but I don't see that either.

and you wont see if it`s working or not without selling him there could be written statistics how much t-shirts you sold on player page each month as well as prices could be possible to change... This would be new level of economics in BB world
I have my main PG who grew up and is still on development in my team drafted in 6th season. At least could be some indicator how the player is loved by fans (rating from 1 to 10(maybe 20)), so we could see this difference...
