Guide to scouting in MyLeague?

[KyotoCarl]

I'm playing a MyLeague as the Bulls and we have the 18th pick in the draft, but I don't have any clue who or what I should be scouting? I feel like I just pick random positions and players who might be at number 18 but when the draft comes I don't have any good scouting reports on anyone so I just end up drafting whoever is the best.

Is there a guide to scouting somewhere? Or does anyone have any good tips for scouting during the season?

Hire the best scout available, set to auto, then go from there based on need

Yeah, but I want to learn how to do it myself. Even if I automate it I don't really know what to do about the info I'm given, since noone gets scouted even close to 100%.

I pick players manually. Because if I put to scout positions, sleepers I never get close to 100%. Hire the best scout and then pick players from the big board or mock draft close to your finishing position. You have to scout all season long to get 100%. Scout the same player couple times untill he is scouted to 100%. Basiclly scout the same player untill you get his potential grade. I'm not sure but I think you can scout 10-15 players in a season to 100% this way.

FYI this is from 2k16. I haven't started MyLeague in 2k17 yet. Waiting for the patch. But the scouting should be the same.

I've always used the grades section on the player card. It should give you enough information to make a decision such as perimeter D, shooting, post up etc. It gives you positional averages and where this rookie is compared to that avg, through that I find positional needs if I'm not drafting a generational type player. If I have terrible/average rebounding big's, I'll look for an athletic rim protector/rebounder some one I know I can give small minutes too early while I develop his post up/offense throughout the season.

I put a bunch of guys on my list, but, I am not sure how to assign them to be scouted. Any help would be great.

use the mock drafts, scout players +/- 5 spots from where you are expecting to pick.

alternatively if you are going to be a lottery team scout the top players, if youre going to make the playoffs start scouting a position you are going to need, IE target all the SF's regardless of projected draft position.

In previous titles, I used to play a scrimmage in the draft combine and draft players based on the feel of a specific player. For example, if I didn't like the timing or form of their jumpshot with my own play style then I would avoid them.
