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
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

What's the highest possible level of the newly drafted players for each skill? Passable, strong?

Climbing the BB-mountain. Destination: the top.

Definitely respectable, perhaps a sprinkling of strong - though that might only be one skill of one player, and maybe not in every league.

If the skills are independently generated (and have the same normal distribution) then the mean value of all 12 skills for a player will be close to the mean value of distribution. But we aren't really interested in the mean skill of a player, we are interested in his top 4 or 5 skills, and whether they are clustered in a way that can make a useful C or PG.

But you also want to make sure (or at least a very good chance) that every team in every league will get one player that he could add to his team (or trade for someone who will). Over the long term with a roster of 12-15 and career of 12-15 seasons, you will want to replace a player per season.

So it's probaby better that a 5 is more of rating than a ranking. In a ranking, the top 5% of rated players might be labeled as "5". But they might not be that much more skilled than the next 20% who were "4", especially after a few seasons of training (or not training).
