I think I was pretty clear in my suggestions of how to maintain (if not better) that.


I did not see your initial post address integrity when it came to height. You did say your scouts should focus on a height range. It sounded like you just want to know the heigth because in real life we would. Having said that your suggestion for a height range in scouting results was a good one, but as with all major changes the question is does the benefit warrant the BB's time in comparison to other issues. I am guessing your answer is yes.

I'm not saying that even if I have an early pick every year I should have a sure thing (I'm a Cleveland Browns fan ... nuff said). I just don't think i should have to pay scouts to tell me I've got the next Shaq coming into camp only to find out he's Spud Webb with nice inside D and rebounding.


Lol, love the Browns reference. The beauty is that you dont have to pay, as I am sure you know. You could instead save every penny of scouting money and just buy a trainee off the TL. You will know exactly everything about him before you spend a dime. I have only 1 player from the USA on my squad as well, so I feel your pain there. I am not saying you are wrong, or that my opinion is any kind of consensus. I just think in order to change the draft to be more realistic it would take some big changes, minor tweaks dont seem enough (I consider your suggestion major, but I am not a programmer). At least it is abstract and frustrating equally for all of us alike, and therefore balanced, if not realistic.

". Show me a high school team with a 6'1" PF, and I'll show you a player with little hope of even playing at a junior college, much less getting paid to do it.


googel for jeff gibbs, on paper he is 1.88 and plays as PF and C, german television takes his hight with a foot rule which wasn't straigth and get 1.84 so i believe my tip is more accurat when i say he is 1.80^^

His stats ain't superior in the first german division for years, you could say that this is only a third class league, but they are also some players with nba experienced who ain't that succesfull(actually the most popular one are Dan Dickau and Casey jacobson).

I looked this season for small sized players with strong inside Skills, and i have to say that pretty less player match my requirements, so heigth isn't totally random and mostly it fits to the position. When scouting the german draft for great talents, you have more problem with SF sized players(~2.00m), who have a skillset just as guard or centers. With week players maybe the range is bigger, so i expect a random system like that:

size 1.75, OD Skill: 15% average(6), 10% respectable(7)
size 2.20, OD Skill: 2% average(6), 1% respectale(7)

So must solid starting centers are big and most guards are small.
