Bit of a side track but this http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/38732362/overview.aspx australian draftee seems like it is going to be overpaid for. I'm guessing the buyer is thinking that he will eventually be an U21 player but still I wouldn't up the bid by 1.5m+ in this context. What is the etiquette on reporting 18 yr old draftees who do not have > superstar potential (seeing as high potentials lead to a greater bidding range even if not practical, but I wouldn't consider P.Allstar in that range to justify that price).



He had 58 tsi (may have been 56, my memory always confuses 6s and 8s for some reason) with evenly spread out skills but wouldn't consider him a top rolled draftee.

Interesting thing I just noticed was that the team who drafted him is called Mighty Woefuls and the team making the purchase from France is called Useless team. Seems super suss.

this is true - however as a segway, doesn't this throw training and drafting plans out the window.
suddenly 3 seasons of training of a star potential player reaps millions on the transfer market.

a $1k investment in an 18 year old all-star potential player could suddenly reap high returns. Suddenly those 3 ball potential players on the draft board look not so bad now.

Maybe this is a bit of a silver lining with the inflated transfer market?

If everyone trained guys of that level it would drop their value. But would it drive the value of better players higher or will they come down also. Looking forward to a few seasons of training.
