Go with the guy with a known potential of 4 stars!!! That unknown guy could be a 1 star guy on a great night....

Oh sorry guys, I wasn't very clear.

Each guy I had was only scouted once, resulting in both having only a 4 ball rating. No potential or age shown. Would it be smarter to go with one of these guys, or a 5 ball rating player(with no potential shown) with an average box score?

I'm hearing that box scores aren't very accurate and that star ratings are the best. Do you guys agree with that?

Thanks again!

4 star 3 potential guys, in which case I'd draft a five star guy of unknown potential.


I'm in a similar quandary in my draft... should I take a 3 star 4 potential player (Grade C, age 19) over several 5 star unknown potential players?

In your case i would go with the 5 star unknowns for sure. 3 stars isn't that high for a start and he is 19 on top of that. There is a very good chance that the 5 star/unknowns will be better.

I agree. Go for the 5 star unknown.

My draft strategy is use the box scores with the ratings. I got a 5/4 PG 2 seasons ago that turned out very poor rated as a bench warmer. On the other hand my best pick so far SF/PF 3 seasons ago in round 2 his ratings was 5/3 and he lived up to it. The reason I include box scores is the PG played short minutes with bad stats while the SF/PF lit up the box score in 28 minutes. I have had good drafts 2 out of 3 so far hope my luck continues this year.

After posting this seeing a lot of people don't trust the box scores let me test this for everyone I could be wrong but it has worked for me using them. I pick 7th in my league and will post the top 7 players box scores after the draft don't want anyone using my reports to steal my top 6 lol. I will keep the info until the draft takes place post them and then see if it works or not.

But don't base too much on the boxscore. The boxscore doesn't tell you what level they were playing at, who their opponent was, whether they had a really good day or a really bad day.

You had a 4 star potential player that was benchwarmer potential?? That doesn't seem right...
Or did you mean you just kept him on your bench?
