guys, i also have a draft related question.

when is the last moment you cans ubmit draft order?

on my main page it writes "Draft order must be submitted before 2/14/2016." but i do not understand what it implies.
does it mean at midnight tonight i need to submit rankings? can i do this tomorrow till a certain time? asking because i'm on mobile and cannot set draft order on the device and will not reach a PC until tomorrow at noon.

I don't know precisely the time that the draft order will lock. I do recall that threads do seem to pop up some offseasons with people surprised they couldn't set their draft order, which leads me to think that anything after midnight tonight is going to be a matter of luck. I'll try to remember to look for that later this afternoon when I have a little time, but I am forgetful so please don't hate me if I forget.


Okay, I found an old thread where someone had posted about this scenario some time back. It's a good read, if only for the fact that the late Mod-Kumiko participated, who is still missed in these forums and certainly elsewhere.

Anyway, unfortunately I'd say that if you're unable to set a draft order today I'd expect that tomorrow you will be unable to. Hopefully you'll get the opportunity, and I did see that another person in this scenario in the past was able to set the order on the playstation 3 web browser (I'm not going to bother with my Xbox to test it), so that may be one other optoin.

Hi,

Please advise what draft prospect i should put 1st? I just did some scouting.

PLAYER 1:
Star Rating: 5 Balls
Potential: 4 Balls
Age: 18
Position: SF
Grade Rating: A+
Height: 6'8 / 203cm

PLAYER 2:
Star Rating: 5 Balls
Potential: 4 Balls
Age: 18
Position: SG
Grade Rating: A
Height: 6'4 / 193cm


Thank you.




Comes down to are you training guards? Bigs? or SFs?

If I had to pick just off what's there from get go... I'd prob take the 2nd guy personally.
SF builds can be very erratic.

I've also learned that the Grade Rating is based off salary, not actual skill set. In last year's draft I drafted a 4 Star 5 Potential B Grade Center.

That guy turned out to have 55 TSP starting.

Edit:
Reason i'd take the SG build guy. is there's less of a surprise as to what skillset you'll get with an SG build vs a SF build.

The SF could have 1 in JS JR and IS but good OD ID and REB.
Or the SF could have 1 in ID and OD both, but good everywhere else. you just never know.

But with the SG build, you know at the very least he has JS and JR and OD at decent levels.
