Has anyone tried to manipulate the system, so to speak in order to keep a kid an extra year. Say a kid is listed as likely going, have you reduced his minutes? Or reduced his practice numbers to try and retard his improvements, so he drops on the big board rankings.
Just wondering.

It also seems to me, although I don't have data to back it up, that players are listed on the draft board based on specific skills related to their position. For example, if you have a PG with BH/PA in the 90's but a bad PER rating, list him as SG and the system doesn't SG's that can't shoot. Or if you have a great SG with lower BH/PA ratings, list him at PG and the system will think he's not as good.

Yes and no. Certain ratings matter more than others, yes. But I have not seen evidence indicating that the system is not smart enough to detect a coach trying to game it, ie listing an elite frontcourt player with 50 speed, ball handling and pass as a PG to keep him off the board. I’ve seen a few try it, and I haven’t seen it work.

How about listing an elite PG as a Center..?
