Questionable drafting by the computer in myleague?

[Habsfan88]

I was curious to know if the player ratings are just the opinion of my own scout?

The Detroit Pistons just drafted a 67 overall Center 1st overall. He was considered the 2nd best center available but ranked around 30th overall by all 3 ranking services. There were probably 20-25 guys rated much better than him available, including 4-5 in the 80's.

Just wondering what to make of this? I mean, I get drafting for needs, but..

Edit: I'm using default draft and scouting settings btw.

That center's name? Kwame Brown. Or Michael Olowakandi. I'm okay with the AI not having perfect information for drafting. You also didn't mention potential... is he a future beast?

It could be bust logic? IF it becomes an issue, control all 30 teams and pick for them! Thanks, 2K!

30 team is the way to go, logic is still broken unfortunately. top 10 ovr guys will often fall to late first, early second for the sake of it.

I simmed a couple of seasons the other day. A 77 overall rated guy fell to the 5th pick of the second round. There could very well been some kind of "medical issue" storyline logic tied to him during the process, but when I checked his player card after the draft, he had no increased risk at any body part.

but Anthony Bennett was a projected top 10 pick. the prospect in the OP's case was barely considered a first rounder. there's a difference between being good, and being projected to be good. a bust system is really hard to put into a game without being cheap, so (again) 30 team is the way to go.
