I have got myself into a predicament. I have a stable of guards that I am training (See my roster) and they are not far from their prime. However, I drafted the best player in the draft and propably the best player I have ever drafted (See below). I am between a rock and a hard place trying to decide whether or not to sell him. Or whether or not I should blow my team up and start training him and some other bigs.

He's a piece of crap. Sell him.

Only a moron like me would train such a player.

Edit: Besides, didn't you just spend 2 or 3 million on a trainee?

Yes, I did. I didn't expect to have a great draft.

Well, with a bit of luck, you should be able to recoup some of that by selling the new kid. That ID will likely hurt the price, though.

(5 more levels of OD and 2 more of ID, and I would've taken him off of your hands.)

what about keeping the newb, selling off the guard with the lowest return on training, and then continue training guard skills for a season or two. Then shed off the guard trainees for cash and work inside skills?

still hesitate to push any big man training, but he is a draftee that would boost merch long term.

^ that's not a bad idea. ^

Give him 5 pops in OD and maybe a couple in PA/JS/JR and then sell him to me, and I'll take care of the rest.

I too would work him into some short term guard plans, then switch when he's a more rounded trainee... cheaper long term too..
