If you have star players that are in the right age range, it doesn't matter a rat's arse what pick you drafted them with.
Yeah i agree and I've mentioned that.

It's definitely not a gurantee. It's not a hard requirement. But it's a strong trend.

No it doesn't matter how you get them. You can draft star players anywhere. You can trade for them and sign them too.

But by far the highest chance of getting a star player in their prime is to draft them in the top of the draft and develop them.

And you need star players in their prime to win.
