CPU Teams' Draft Logic

[koolbob1872]

Ok so, I have an association as the Cavaliers and had the 7th and 20th overall picks. The Draft Class I used is a little over-rated probably, but I like it that way. The thing is though, the CPU logic is TERRIBLE. Once it got to my pick, ALL FIVE of the projected top fives were available. I took Nerlens Noel at 7. When it got to 20, three of the top fives were available. I took Ben McLemore at 20. At 23, the Bulls offered a trade and I took it, and Shabazz Muhammad was available, so I took him for a trade rape. I ended up flipping him for MKG. I just am wondering, is that an anomaly, or is it consistently that bad? The three players I got actually are three of the five best players in that class. I am for realistic drafting/free agency, and this is bothering me big time. Should I restart and see what happens again, or will it not matter and still have terrible logic?

I have simmed and played numerous assoc. years using fictional draft classes where the consensus top pick is usually one player a couple two more with high upside and someone in the mid-late very raw (50's overall) but with high upside.Generally speaking those are realistic classes if not underrated.So let's assume that the CPU knows that there is a top pick with the highest ovr and highest potential.

I have ended with the 14 - 16 pick and the top guy is most times(key word is most) available.I have never seen the orlando magic ,usually having the #1 pick ,actually pick anyone good.They usually end up with busts.However when top teams end up in the lottery with a top 5 (the Celts on the second or third year,the lakers after they lose Dwightmare and the Spurs to grandfatherhood) then i have seen the top guys taken.

One more thing.One year i kept multiple files for offseason to sim the draft again and again and finally after three or more tries i got the bobcats to sign the top rated prospect with the first or second pick.I believe the magic stayed happy drafting busts though

CPU draft logic is hit and miss(mostly miss).

The Hornets got the #1 overall pick again and picked Cody Zeller at first I was like until I looked at their lineup and moves they made later. They started Zeller at the 5 and Davis at the 4(was 5 when Lopez got hurt), traded Lopez, Aminu and their 2nd for a mid 1st and picked SF Poythress at 17 who ended up being a 73 and they had Vasquez(won most improved player in 12-13) at the 1 and and Gordon at the 2.

On the other hand the Warriors drafted Shabazz Muhammad at 5 and Gary Harris at 37, kept Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Jarret Jack, Kent Bazemore, and Brandon Rush and they let Biedrins and Landry go.
