So you are talking about, tanking the season, thus losing a lot in income + relegating (which Boston did not have to fear) and losing even more income the next season. You still might draw, 4k salary with bad skill distribution good height superstar. Would it really be worth tanking the season???

Any news on when the new system will come into play? And when it does, will the scouting money being spent now be converted to points all at once?

Well if I scouted a 5 ball talent, A+, 5 ball potential, 18 year old, 6'6" SF for that draft...

Tanking the season and losing all that income you just mentioned may not be out of the question. Again its a strategy that could be played out and it depends on the individual situation for a team, doesn't mean its a blue print for every team.

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: pitiful
Driving: awful Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: respectable ↑

Experience: atrocious

This guy was 5 skills, A+, 5 pot. SF. Are you really sure you would tank a season for him? Turns out he is 6'6 aswell. Something we could not know before draft actually ran.
Just like you add a 450k C just before the playoffs to help your promotion. Something that also happened this season. Now if you fail to promote you have just cost your team a big chunk of cash, when you try to get rid of him after the vital game (that's a few weeks pay + week or 2 trying to sell him, possibly even losing on the player transfer price).

Are you sure that player was an A+ player? Reason being that I got a player with A+ in last season's draft and his skills were far better than the ones you listed above.

My understanding is that the grades are based on salary, but with 2 atrocious on inside skills and a pitiful and awful in guard skills it seems hard to believe. Perhaps there is just a very large variance.

However, you did not provide the age or potential for that player. If the player is 18 and a Hall of Famer or All time great then I bet you could sell him for 1.5 to 2 million dollars and it may have been worth tanking the season.

That player Kukoc posted will have a salary of around 4.7k so I'm sure he'll be A+.

I think there is a good chance the player was just an A at 4.7k salary.

He was A+ because he was in my scouting list. He has 4803 salary and has pot 10. He was sold for 680k. Is that enough for tanking the whole season and spending the next season one level lower. He might be worth more but he was listed higher aswell and did not sell.
Tanking might be an option, but it has it's risks. I'd rather win games and gather some cash to buy the draftee I need, than tank a season.

I guess it depends on what league you are in as well. If you are in the lowest league then there is certainly less risk.
The player you listed is probably on the lower end of the scale of 5 star A+ 5 potential players though, so a better player might be worth tanking for. For example I got a rookie with over 6k salary with A+ and another rookie with over 5k salary with A+ so tanking for something like that would definitely be worth it if the potential is right I think.

Ranking second in the league and still drafting a decent player, so why would you tank against bots? Comon are you suggesting that??? Would you have tanked your league last year. Knowing you can win it? If you are in a bot league the best thing you can do with the new system. Count the bots drafting. Then start scouting draftees after those, win the league and get more income next season. Dropping one level instead of rising is pointless. You can't actually say that player is on the lower level of A+, remember salarys were lowered this season aswell.
