i'vew gone througha rebuilding phase before in div III, now im in div 1.(in NZ) which is not saying alot

this is what i do...

Keep a roster of 12 people incase of injury
buy 1 awesome potential trainee and a semi awesome trainee and train them 1 position. (decent stamina and FT)
you dont want to spend weeks to increase their STAMINA and FT.
buy very old veteran with decent skill(those are cheaper) to surround him/babysit him for a few season, especially veteran point guard / center
use extra money to build your arena
buy level 4 PR manager for Income, TIE all the imposible game, CT your rival and TV contract game, you want to win those.

after a season
sell your semi awesome trainee (lower potential) and buy a new better trainee with his revenue.
buy a semi decent younger big man with good rebounding + defense
or Semi decent younger PG depend what your trainee is
keep building arena and make sure you have some savings.

3rd season, your trainee should make U-21 if you're lucky = more $$$
sell your semi decent and start upgrading them to bigger salary player. 1 position at a time.
once before allstar break(so you can train his stamina) and once before playoff to surprise your Opp.

4th season, is time to compete :) you should have 1 good 21 yrs old and 1 good 20 yrs old.
and 2 semi decent big / small.

Does anyone know how many 5-star prospects their are in the Draft?

its random

In the ABBL draft last season where I has the first pick there were exactly NONE with five ball potential! Not even a single superstar. Random is correct, some drafts get half a dozen others none. Pathetic.

I think it mirrors NBA quite well (what would you call Kyre Irving? 4/4 balls?) for randomness, but I don't like how all 18y olds are bad. Pit a all-respectable 18y old (the best you can get) against a well-built 30k player and trainee doesn't stand a chance.

Pit a 18y old Lebron James against a decent 25y old SF that would earn at least 50k in BB world and the 25y old SF will have some problems.

They should at least give 19y olds, that are coming from drafts, some Strong/Proficient skills...

Last 2 drafts in my league there was none of them. But i from what iv have seen as a scout of lithuania u-21 team, i can say its 1,5-2 MVP+ guys per draft, but half of those are 19 year olds...
