I'm training guards and will have a training slot open. I've got the following four potential top picks of the draft. How would you rank them (equal weight to either taking a guy to train or taking a guy to sell and buying a trainee)? All are 18.

I would agree with everyone else with the order but C could be very good. Since you are training guards he would fit in and since hes a pf he probably would have great secondaries for a guard thus leading to a great all around player. And all around players seem to do better on here. But if you plan to sell then D could sell for lots of money then u could find a trainee to your liking because youll be able to see their abilities.

Or maybe the team with the #2 pick might be willing to trade you a haul of draft picks for the rights to your #1? It could be franchise altering!!!

Player C is the most intriguing prospect since he's potentially the most valuable one. Since he's an A+ power forward prospect who's relatively small, you could train him as a guard and make him an elite small forward. I personally trained an 18 year old power forward in guard skills and turned him into a U21 small forward and sold him for 4.3 million this past season. And that's even with my making mistakes in training along the way and training game shape a few weeks in the playoffs.

However, there's the risk of him having a devastatingly low guard skill which would make him untrainable as both a guard and power forward; a guard because a guard skill is too low, and a center or power forward because he's too short. The 18 Y.O. power forward I bought was inept in a few guard skills, but otherwise he was around mediocre across the board. There's a chance Player C could have like, atrocious outside defense which would kill him as a trainee. It's a risk -- he could be far and away the best prospect, or he could be the worst. It's up to you to figure out through his boxscore if he has the decent guard skills (three point attempts - jump range, assists - passing, steals - outside defense, turnovers - handling) to make him the best choice.

With that said, Player A is the safest choice for your training regimen, and player D is probably the safest choice in getting good money on the transfer list.

Grade Rating: A-
Height: 6' 0"

Player B:
-----------
Star: 5
Potential: 4
Position: PG
Grade Rating: A-

Grade Rating: A+
Height: 6' 5"

Player D:
-----------
Star: 5

depends are you planning on training an NT/U21 player?

Id draft eighter A or D because with player D he will have the highest salary out of all of them( not counting C :D) and he Could become a great Pure C, Player A because he would fit into ur training plan plus he is a very good height( 6'0)
If i had to order them from best-worst it would be DACB :D
