A player draws fouls because of high driving skill. It seems it lack OD, maybe JR. I usually never take draft A- since their skills sum tends to be very low, it might have inside skills of like 5 average max probably. But would draft player A anyways, inside skill trains fast with that height, and good outside skills are very valuable. Best players skillpoints wise tends to be PG and PF. Player B might be a tree with some passing.

Generally speaking the one with the highest potential will be the better choice, but that information is unavailable until after they are drafted. Nobody really knows how correlated these box scores are to the skills. HAHA is the only one who has attempted to analyse this as far as I know.

The PG could have (and probably will have) holes in inside skills otherwise he'd go into the PF formula). He most definitely will have some high PA. The C could have holes in the outside skills and seeing how PA, JR and OD basically don't factor in a C salary (and overall ranking A+ is based on salary) they could be all 1. My last draftee (6'4'') was in the C formula and he had 56 skill points, including 7 OD, 4 JR and 5 PA.

It's really hard in your case, because normally I'd go for the PG and hope the inside skills are not terrible, but the A- vs A+ makes me hesitant in this case.

Given you've got pick #12 in the draft, chances are high that you get neither. I think you can put whichever you like better as #1, the other as #2, and just hope that either will still be available at that point.

If you had the #1 pick I'd consider recommending scouting extra skills to find out, but here it's likely just a waste of scouting points.

Good luck!
