Big dogs and sneaky bastards do. I know because they were in my league.

Gotta be careful too, there are drafts like this one: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/16/draftSummary.aspx?season=21 - zero MVP+ players and only 2 Superstar 18 year olds. I ended up with a PA with the first pick (5 ball/4 potential).

Also, I'm sitting on 78 draft points and will be spending none this season.

edit: I'm just unhappy with that season because I actively tried to get the 1st pick, spent 64 draft points and didn't get a whole lot for it. I guess BB is just trying to tell me that tanking is bad

Thanks all for the advice.

I think I will just hold off my points until a better season. I'm willing to wait it out two seasons. I'm generally not going to go below pick 8 unless I reach Div 1. If I look at the odds, I should find the most talented player available with that many draft points. So I'll take my chances with the lower pick. I'll be happy with a superstar or better. PA will be disappointing but have to take what I can get.
