but isn't 6'8 too small to train a centre?


above 2m the training speed is ok, so i didn't worry about his size.

and what potential should i be looking for?


i would look for starters or better, i would tend for star and allstar potential and some extra skill from the beginning then a weaker player with higher potential - but in this case you could have different opions. A starter player had enough cap to develop, to help you for a long time but potential is also considered when you sell people and for this i don't know if you could make more money with them in comparision to a slightly better player wihtout that much potential.(hopefully i don't conduse with that, i believe someone could say that with better words, and maybe even more knowledge)

Mod-CrazyEye's advice is solid. You have a serviceable, if not halfway decent training lineup for now. Save up for a bit and buy a first rate trainee once you have 100k-200k. All the teams that finish at the bottom of the league should be bots/inactive, so once the draft lists are released and you've done some scouting of the top prospects, you should know if it's worth finishing 7th or 8th.

I agree he will do better then he thinks. There are a lot of bot/inactive teams in his league. It will only take a few purchases and he should start beating some teams.

I would invest in a few veterans for the non training positions so they will out perform their salary in a mostly bot/lower league can can be bought cheap. Also since this is mostly a bot league you should be investing a decent amount in scouting to try and get at least a couple of good trainees in the draft. I wouldn't waste money on high potential players since you would not be able to see them fully reach their potential. I would stick to star and allstar potential players that fit into the same position(s) for training. Also since you are a team just starting out I would do 2 position training to try and improve a larger percentage of your team through the rest of the season or until you are established after a couple of seasons.

Try buying young, cheap 1k-5k players with the money you get from home games or at the end of the week.

Go ahead and drop your 5 or 6 lowest salaried players as well except for maybe Briggs and Carr who are young enough to benefit from some training if you're able to squeeze them in. That will help you save a bunch of money and having those guys on the court won't help you anyway.
