I am facing the same dilemma. I have good big men and won't train my draftees so I'm just going to sell them all, and buy a solid SG.

hes an ok bench player but he doesnt have any potiential. you can still train him if you want but you can only do so for like another year or so. I have a guy that is a 6th man potential and have built him up but it takes time and it is a very slow process. I would aim for a guy in the 10k range for you. If you get a lower potential or an older player you may be able to get the skills on the cheap. hope this helps.

It really depends on if you are training guards or not. If you are training guards i would purchase a good trainee after the draft that is an allstar or lower and build him up. this way you can train him up and not have to pay a premium for his potential when you will probably not be able to train him to the full potential. If you do not train guards i would buy an older player that is around 25-29 years old so you can get good skills for the price.

Hope this helps.

It depends on many factors. I was able to exit my D4 league for D3 with a 3.7k SG and a 5.3k SG playing PG. Obviously, the strength of D4 has probably heightened a little bit, and I had exceptional inside talent, but you should be able to compete with that guy, even as a starter. However, even so, you might want to get a little stronger guard, around the 4.5-6.5k range. However, if you see any good bargains on higher level guards, jump on them.

I was thinking of getting a SG maybe 7k salary with at the very least Strong OD.

You're in for a big surprise when you get to Division IV. You need to upgrade all your positions if you want to be competitive in Division IV. And, specifically, this SG will be terrible in Division IV.

Whether you buy one or train one, a good SG in Div IV should have, imo, at least prominent in JS and OD, at least respectable in passing, JR, DR, HA. And anything you can get extra for ID, rebounding, stamina and FTs is a bonus. A player like that will cost substantially more than $200K. Save your money and buy a really good one.

Thank you! does this mean that I should only buy players with good potential? what I have been doing is buying OK players for my division, and selling them when I got a replacement. Should I get some players that are not as fully trained and developed but that are easily trainable, and train them for the next few seasons until they are good starters?
