Player 1 - 18- PG - 6'7 - 5 STAR/5 POTENTIAL/GRADE A-
Player 2 - 18- C - 7'1 - 5 STAR/4 POTENTIAL/ GRADE A+


Either way I want to sell so which one may get me the most? Thanks in advance!

I am in an all bot league so there is a possibility I could get both or neither but Id like to order them correctly anyway.

Knowing only that much information, I'd definitely choose Player 1 over Player 2. 6'7" is way over the optimal height range for a guard trainee in BB, but, even if he's listed as a PG with an A- grade, there's a decent chance that he'll have inside skills high enough to make him a worthwhile SF or PF trainee, especially given that starting skillsets are somewhat influenced by height.

Meanwhile, a player with an A+ grade listed as a center is very likely to at least have low Jump Shot, which should negatively impact his value quite significantly. Additionally, 4 balls in potential means that his potential will be either perennial allstar or superstar, when, by most standards, a high-caliber PF or C needs at least MVP Potential. A superstar can still become a very good high-level big man, but perennial allstar falls short of that.

Even if Player 1 ends up not having the skillset to become anything other than a guard, his potential tier still makes the chances of him having a lower market value than Player 2 very slim.

Player 1 for sure. You'll train him to become a PF or SF and won't have to spend too much time to train his PA, HA, DR and OD.

If you get both it would be almost perfect, because you could train the center as your secondary trainee and make him a decent C for the lower leagues. Not much potential needed there, as you can't pay the salary later on.

I can't see my draftees just yet, I should guess they're on their way?
