Hehe and by the same token, anyone who trains forwards just got pretty lucky. Not that I know anyone who does that...
*cough cough*

How much do you spend on scouting, Lemony? And if you've found some 5-5 prospect who's a big man, then why not draft them anyway and sell? You'll get a good price and be able to buy a guard more to your liking. Of course, it wouldn't break my heart if they went off the board with the 15th pick rather than the 16th.

I am going to spend 5k to 10k depends how the week goes with my finances. But nothing more, unless I see some good players that I like. Guards sell more and easier on the market, but I mean if I get a big man that looks great I will go for him. To sell of course.

I also want to train American born 18 yo guards that I drafted, makes me feel kinda proud.

The fact that half of my "5 star prospects" 19 year olds is very disappointing.

Oh and how much income do you get from your arena?

102.5K, but I'm upping ticket prices slightly, so that should increase it. Everything but luxury boxes completely sold out last game; one nice thing about 50-point wins is it brings in the fans. I'm spending 20K per week right now, b/c my last couple of drafts have been disappointments and I'd like to get at least oone trainee on my team that I drafted. So far I haven't turned up any hugely great prospects, but I'm hopeful. And you should consider yourself lucky if you turned up a lot of 5-ball prospects; I only turned up two, one of which was 19. The other looks ok but not spectacular, so no luck there. Just looking at this draft, though, it looks somewhat disappointing; 21 19yos, most of the prospects have middling height (6'4"-6'9") which isn't particularly great for training speed. So far no 5-ball potential players either. From your point of view, there are no good 18yo 6'0"/6'1" prospects. So glad I'm not looking for guards, because there don't appear to be any (now that I say that, of course I jinxed everything and one of them will be some stud 18yo ATG with a 7K salary)

What do you get from your arena?

96 minutes for Catapang and 108(!) for Faina, looks good for me c:

And I get 88K per week eh.

And that's what happens when you spontaneously take a day trip into Chicago with the guys from your floor without setting scrimmage lineup first. Crap.

I had a bad gs update as well...only 2 in proficient, one of them is one that I will not use. Also I have a new best defender on my team! No hints though ~

Can't wait for that game on Tuesday! I really put a lot of thought into this one~, but my training might cause my downfall, ohwells.
Can I just say, Faina got shut down in your game tonight, I have no idea how, but McNeill is looking great! That FT is amazing, it is going to help you win, against me.

I found that out in Group Scouting. This draft has hardly any 18yo 6'0" or 6'1" players, at least one of the 6'2" players is a bust, and idk about the others. There are a lot of middle height players, which is good for forward training. And hey, those 1 or 2 ball players may have 5 ball, HOF potential. Stranger things have happened.

The good news is, there are only 6 active teams in this league, so if you do happen to find someone good, there's a decent chance you'll get to pick him, even with a low draft pick.

Lol you won't believe this and if you knew this already, ohwells. I had some fun looking up your players and found that Catapang has never made a free throw since he was drafted.

Btw, if you find a PG/SG or even SF 18 years old, with 5+ Star rating in a decent height range please tell me~ I'll tell you about all PF/C or even SF 18 years old, with 5+ Star rating in a decent height range.

wow haha I did not know that about Catapang, but that figures. Care to guess what his free throw skill level is????

I don't know if it's legal to share info about draft prospects, but I'm not opposed and I don't see why anyone would mind. Executives have mutually agreed not to draft specific players; it happens all the time in the NBA draft. And you can just look at the Patriots and Eagles swapping sixth round picks this past NFL draft, just for kicks. If we do it over the forums, everyone can have access to the same info. Should we do it in forum posts or BB-mail?
