So it shouldn't be possible to draft well just based on stats in OOTP. There needs to be plenty of exceptions to the general 'great prospect, great stats' rule of thumb, enough to get you in real trouble if all you're looking at is stats. And I do think the game does ok with this now.
That's all I'm saying.

I appreciate your point that HS stats are not great predictors of future ability. I agree somewhat. However, it is far too common with feeders to see some great potential kid get picked high. Often enough he hit well below league average.
This kid would never make in front of a scout's eyes, yet, he gets picked in the 1st round. At least with game generated stats they look reasonable. I'm just not on board with feeders.
