It's kind of disappointing to know that Naples Napalm is tanking again to take the top prospect. Really ruins the rewarding feeling of discovering a good draft prospect. Anyhow, I may be sharing some of my findings again. Too early to do much of anything besides combine/group scouting though, so not much to report so far.

Yeah that kind of pissed me off how he tanks every season. Im rather intrigued with this draft. Also better enjoy the undefeated season cause since you took the p*sssy way out and crunched timed against me boss im gonna have so much more enthusiasm and pretty much guaranteeing your gonna regret that. I want a trophy not a undefeated season :D

Silver trophies look cooler! I knew I had no chance to beat you in the finals, so I had to do what's best for my team. This way I'll make sure that I make the D4 :D

What do you mean by "rather intrigued with this draft"? I've already found one really good prospect and some others that might be ok, that I haven't scouted. And for those who train guards, there are a lot of shorter 18yos who could be good trainees.

Free advice for the week: I found a 6'6" 18yo PF who has 5 ball skills, but only 1 ball potential. Stay away from him.

Oh come on, Richard Duvall hardly counts as a miss, especially since the other top prospects (Meeker, Bunn, Pagan) were all drafted before you could have picked them anyway, and none of us saw Gary McDowell (22089994), not even Naples Napalm who could have drafted him with his second pick had he known his potential. Shame he went bot but that's another story.

I too think this draft is going to be good, especially for guard trainees as I said earlier--fortunately at least for me and Boston Boss, any draftees would fit in nicely alongside Pagan and Bunn. I'm doing 3 scouting points a week, and I'd be willing to share any findings of note with interested managers, but I won't post them on the forums. Naples Napalm is not going to be getting any help from me--I don't want to reward someone for tanking. I can't stop it but I sure as heck am not going to indirectly support it in any way; he'll have to do his own scouting, which I'm sure he will. But if you or Tha Boss is interested, I'd be happy to send you a BB-mail with pertinent info (since I'm going to have higher draft pick than either of you then of course I'll still get the top player on my board, but still it can't hurt you guys).

i didnt mean richard duvall was a miss he was maybe the best prospect i have ever drafted. what i meant was not all leagues are the sames and each draft if different and if i want to spend money in each season on scouting points i want to come away with a hit so i can sell him or train him

I'd love some advice. I"m just starting my training now. I have a huge financial problem... sorry I meant, HAD. I'm iight now. I would be really excited to get a drafteee. I think that I'll just sell him too, I alredy have 2 PG's. And btw, I'm a bit pissed off wit the tanking too. I think that those picks should go to the teams that really need some help, not the ones with 1.2 billion dollars hahahahahaha
