I feel the same way.

I just don't know, however, how big a difference is there from an A+ player to an A- one.

I remember that my A+ draft had a salary 4500 and A had 4000 (or very slightly more)

i have 2 point guards in my draft pool that have the same star rating and the same potential, but one is an A player while the other is an A-...that might mean 1-2 skills difference, but that can't be confirmed until after the draft.

i would pick the first. BB is very weird with its ratings. i have a proficient inside scorer who only gets about 13 points per game. plus from a scouts perspective if the player has that good of ratings then 1 game doesn't tell the whole story. of the information we have it seems that the star/grade/potential ratings are the sure information whereas the game info is more of a gamble to rely on.


and I'm sorry that I have to put this think wrong, but on BB depends even on other preferences not just on a main skill

Oh, and I agree with the guy that said the level of the draftees seems to be higher.

I scouted 34 players. 14 5 stars and 9 4 stars.
Seems like a lot.

I scouted 28 players (9 of 'em two times) and only two of them are 5 stars ... Including one with a two star potential. So no I don't agree, the level of the draftees doesn't seem to be higher, it's just random.

OR....if the number of stars are just remotely similar across the leagues, then you should rank your non-scouted players high, seeing that they must be good.
I wouldn't hesitate to rank all the non-scouted players above the 3-star players if I was you.

Interesting option:
SG - 5star A+ 4star potential (sucked at his game)
SG - 5star A- 4star potential (did pretty good at his game)

Who would you guys pick?



I would pick the first without any doubt. I don't think the match matters that much. The REAL question is...what would you have done if player number 2 had had a 5-star potential. That would be hard!! Grade vs. Potential.

I would say, if you train that position than potential, if you do not train it... go for the grade :)

How active is your league? I made some stats from my league last draft and it showed that almost everyone got their first pick in the first round. Worst case scenario was only getting our second pick, and I actually think that only happened to two teams.

About 50%-75% of the teams in the league where active team. Of course it becomes harder to get your first pick if the league is more active and of course stats from one single league is not good enough to make any real conclusions, but still it gives you some hope.
