I don't understand why everyone is so into taking a drastically worse player just because he is 18 instead of 19. I understand that is one more year to train but why does everyone have that opinion?

The thing is the draft is an excellent chance to get a good young trainee. And being 18 doesnt only mean he gets an extra season of training but he also trains faster. The 19yo you draft would maybe be as good as an 18 you draft but have less time to train and train slower.

thats why everyone wants an 18 yo rather than a 19 yo.

ye you pick 8th i pick 15th, Also they may be well be ive scouted 3 SFs besides the one i put at top and all 3 of them have a 4 star rating.

And if you are putting that player as your first pick you must not have any info on the draft. Last year i think i picked 9th and i got the best player in the draft :)

I dont really mind if they are the same player all i want is a decent 18 yo, any position would do.

Should I slot 5/3 18 y/o players over star rating 5, non scouted players or should I take the chance on one of the latter?

Thanks.

Take the 5/3.

Reasons:
1. You are in div 4 and won't be able to train him up too much as you won't be able to afford it and so it doesn't matter if his potential isn't high, and a potential of 3 is still pretty good.
2. This player is 18, and will train fast, the 5 star rating unscouted players might have a higher potential, but the chance of them having a higher potential AND being 18 isn't much.

Pick the 5/3 player, train him up, and by the time he hits his cap you will have a very good player and you will have more draftees to train.

Can I get your opinions on who I should take? I didn't have anyone above 3 ball potential, so its kinda a crapshoot.

Both have 4 ball ratings:
Min. FG 3FG FT Pts. Reb. Ass. Stl. Blk. TO PF
SG 29 15-18 1-4 1-8 32 1 2 1 0 2 1
PF 33 20-22 1-3 6-6 47 2 2 2 3 4 2

I'm really thinking of going with the PF just because I've been training my bigs I have now, and think I'd like continue with them. Thanks, guys

I'm guessing you mean they are both 4 ball, unknown potential in that case just take the guy in the position u would use. So take the PF.

Ahh yeah that makes sense when i reread his post. In that case i agree i would put the 5 star, unknowns ahead as well.

the box scores are pretty useless.

Do you know their age?
im assuming that they are both 4/3
If you know the age, the the younger of the 2, if there is an 18 year old.
He will sell for more and be a quicker trainee.

If they are the same in everything but position, then choose whichever position you prefer or need a good player in.
