He runs the risk of capping out during his 21yo season, but he is a really good player, and one of our top guards last season had perennial allstar potential.

I disagree. I don't think he will cap out until the 22-23yo season. If he was an allstar then the 21yo season would be accurate but P. Allstar gives him an extra season or two before he caps in my opinion.

The U21 bigs for our current team are at or near the cap for Superstar potential. A player like alfree's, with PA potential and poor secondaries, doesn't really stand a chance.

The owner can either:

(a) Focus solely on primaries, which will cap his player at ~ straight 15s on the inside skills during the early part of his 21st season. During the latter half of the season, he would fall behind the higher potential bigs who will be in the 16-18 range on their inside skills.

or

(b) Train up the secondary skills of his player, which would increase his value but put him behind the other candidates.

Heck of a prospect, though.

Got a question, right now I'm thinking of buying aMVP SF............Paul Casper, and he's 18...........would he turn 19 next season or he will remain at 18 cause he been assigned to a new team (Sta Suns) I wanna know cause I really want to train him for some USA team (U21 or NT) Basically, am I training him for U21 or teaining him for NT (if I do get him)

Each player ages regardless of team changes, only retired players don't age. So he'll be 19.

Tough, unless you know the guy was training him proper his whole 18 year old season... it'll be tough otherwise... to get him on a U21.

Quigley has 0 chance because he's 19. But Salas has a great chance.

Well, now I'm competing for another MVP, Joshua Kenyon, 20 yrs old, probably out for U21, but can he still train for NT?

MVP might be on the low side of potential for most NT spots.

It might be enough for a nicely rounded SF, but definitely not enough potential for a big man. I also don't think it's enough for most NT worthy guard builds.
