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.

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.

Man, I'm just trying to get homecountry youth,...........its hard when you only got like, 30k, I'm expecting to go to 50k when I win/lose tonight......I probably have to wait!

PS;Wait, MVP is the third best potential..............how is that not NT good? do you really need to have a HOF and higher to make it there or a really young guy with like, Superstar to start with?



EDIT; should I wait for after the draft when theres a lot of wars (to get a young MVP for less than 50k) or go for it now, since like, 90% of em are going to be out of my range...........or wait till week after?

If you are trying to get an MVP, look for one that has been trained well this season. You might not find many of these with your current cash, so then you might want to wait until the draft, since you are in D5. There are 5 expansion teams and 2 other teams that haven't logged in since at least 4/21. That technically moves you 7 spots up and gives you a better chance for a good draftee.

To answer your second question, if you have a BIG with MVP potential, they are probably not making the NT. If it is a guard, then you have a good chance, if trained accordingly. Also, if you have an SF with superstar potential, and that SF is a balanced one, then you might have a legit shot for the NT. For example, look at Bill Weeks (11772141) and Irwin Velasco (8868669) . There is a PF that has superstar potential as well (Frank Tanner) (14602057) , but this doesn't happen too often.

I would say, first wait for you league draft. If you buy an MVP player right now, they will turn 19, unlike if you drafted someone with superstar potential that was 18.
