I don't expect it to be uniform. It is more likely to be Gaussian with the peak between 2 and 3 -- extremely weak and extremely good players have to be more rare.

It is definitely not Gaussian. It is much more likely that the individual skills are Gaussian and independent. It's just easier to do it that way, and produces an OK mix of combinations of skills.

I'm not sure I would even expect it to be Gaussian (or if it were we are seeing the players that are at least 1+ sd. Remember that we are looking at the top 48 of perhaps several 100 players. Most of the rest are going to be getting their college degree (sadly too many won't graduate) rather than having a professional Buzzer Beater career.


Star rating vs. letter grade could be a whole pile of different things. The star rating might refer to the overall skill level, while the letter grade refers to the 'in-position' skills. Or it can be top 4 skills (stars) and top 8 skills (letters). Or they might even include height, as it affects the way skills will progress with training.



I am a bit ticked that I didn't record properly the letter grades of the guys I picked last season: my first and second rounders were 5*, though I can't recall the letters for the life of me.

As far as I remember, there have always been more 5's than 4's and 4's and relatively few 2's and 1's.

I think I actually tended to move 3's below the unknowns, figuring that the unknowns had much greater chance of being a 4 or 5 than a 1 or 2.

Exactly. If a scout can't tell a 6'1 guy from a 6'10 guy then there is a real problem.

Who can see the same players that I do in the Draft?

Can all teams in my Conference see the same players that I do?
Is Player 1 the same Player 1 for all in the Conference? (3 stars, PG, Grade C and pot. 3)
If all get at least 11 on the list, are the first 11 the same for all?
I do not understand this ...

1.) all teams in your conference have the same players
2.) they are numbered differently
3.) they are sorted differently

No, I think player one in your list is not the same as player one in other lists. It actually does not say anything about this in the rules I believe. However, I remeber reading some posting from a BB about this, but cannot remeber the thread or News where this was stated.

One thing to watch out for is that draftees with resp FTs and stamina not much else can be highly rated. My #1 choice last year had a great rating and high salary and was basically unusable. The box score should be helpful to weed out those super free throw specialists.

I've never really had any value from the draft - but there is always hope that my luck will change~

Power Forwards in the draft?

Are there anyone that has a Power Forward on the list. I have none of 29.
My father has none of 27.
That is a very low % PF.


4 out of 38.

2 5 star, 1 4 star, 1 3 star.

I got 6 out 27...

But only one SF, which I was hoping for =)

I got 8 Point Guards, 6 Shooting Guards, 2 Small Forwards, 1 Power Forward and 3 Centers = 20 visible players... there will allways be less SF and PF, because they need more skills... can´t say it about centers, but I think that it is just a small fraction of players to consider it a kind of bug, it´s just random... and I like it because I train outside skills :)

That is correct - each team in the league has the same players but numbered differently.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live
