Not that the draft is a perfect system, but it's not perfect in the pros either.

Check out the 1995 draft:

I bet the Warriors wouldn't pick Smith if they could do it over.

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

I bet the Warriors knew how old and how tall Smith was when they picked him.

If this was a baseball sim, I'd mention Miguel Tejada, Cubans in general, etc.

But it's not, so I'll shut up.

Even if it were, I doubt that a one year age difference would mean the player loses half his value in real life.

It's pointless to keep making comparisons to real life sports.

Isn't BB based on a real life sport?

Sure, there are many realism-baeed things you have to forego in the name of playability, but you can't completely ignore what happens in real life.

If that were the case, I'd have a team full of Borgs and Thetans who scored by dropping the ball from the rafters. (please don't try to make sense of that, I don't understand it either)

Very loosely based.

And I can't believe you don't see the difference between the training aspects in a math-based game and the ones in real life.

That's one of the things I was referring to when I said that not everything could be realism-based, since you're sacrificing too many gameplay considerations.

Were you expecting me to spell out everything I meant by that?

haha well joe smith wasnt that bad as a rookie.
who could have known that KG becomes such an impressive player over the years.

And I think the BB drafts are quiet ok for only its 4th season... sure it can improve but in my opinion it is one of the most exciting parts of a season and a reason for that is that u cant be 100% sure what u get even if u get a 5 Star A+ with Potential 5 Stars :)
Ok, the difference between those 5 stars was a bit huge but sometimes u are lucky and sometimes not. U cant always win otherwise it will get boring soon .)

Well, since the thread is about the draft, and the draft means young players, which means trainees, I really don't know why any other aspect is relevant.

You mentioned training, that's what I was responding to.

(I assume you were getting at height?)
