I voted one. I'll probably run this team to the ground with my poor gm skills.

9... I was hoping by some miracle Cousy or Pettit would fall to me but I had Schayes 5th on my list, so getting him at 6 made me happy.

Not sure to be honest, Ended up with Beckman which was who I was expecting, had a couple bigmen I was looking at who maybe I could of had instead but lets see. The ratings seem to be different than what I was looking at on the free agent list though? As we've been saying each team has their own scouts an the HTML output is just ONE way it could look. If you have the game trust your own scouts. They are set up to help you picks players suites for your style of play. I thought that was for the potential but ok fair enough. Havent got the game yet but happy enough with Beckman was prob a bit early but he looks to be a good scorer and not a liability on defense.

Well.. I think current and pot are variable depending on what you play.
Like Madden 13 - you play a system and drafting a 3-4 LB is different than a Cover 2 LB or a RB if you're a run heavy team.
We don't know everything about the game but I do know certain players have hot zones on the floor that we don't see and other things like that. Scouting isn't a science, no one is absolutely right, no list is 100% right, some of it is luck, gut, system, and need.

Someone should do a grading article on the first round picks

9, because I don't like to give out 10's.
I think I had Lovellette ranked like #8 or #9 on my draft list, so it was cool to have him slip down to #14. He's talented enough to help me win now, but he's also young enough to be a long term asset. I don't know if I'm comfortable paying an unproven 22 year old $15M per year, but we'll see how that works out.

That's where I am with 20 year old Boozer. He's gonna get paid over his career.

Any youth drafted is gonna get paid, it unavoidable. It's good to see there are a few other GMs that wanted Volnov but to be honest I was shooting for Bob Boozer. Leave it to London to throw up the smokescreen in his mock draft only to take him 8 picks earlier and let other guys he had higher slide. With that said I doubt he dropped to 13 and if I was at 10 I would have taken him there also.

CSP- I think its Limo-jes London- Trades?! I really wanted Boozer because back in ABCA I had my best seasons with him one my team. I think I had 55-60 wins and the Boozehound was a big part of that, but again I have no knocks on Volnov other then not being able to find season averages or any career stats really. I actually had him at 9 on my list and got him at 13 so Im not complaining.

Very nice! Pretty interesting to see he played SG, SF, and PF too at points. A lot of good information and sounds like he ended up right where he should have here in Russia. Now I just need to get player/coach Sergei Belov

CSP- I think its Limo-jes Yeah I'm thinking Limo-jes as well. I prefer it to the alternative, Limo-gheys.
