1. How tall is he?

2. Star potential is pretty low, he wont pop as much as an allstar or PA. When Im looking for trainees, I always look for at least PA because u sepend a lot of time training these kids, might as well get many pops.

3. As a pure PG, his initial skills are pretty good. Get the JS, OD, pass and hand up a few pops and he should be a helpful player.

4. Id still look for a player with higher potential (dont spend too much money) and train both together...

Star potential is plenty enough for a brand new team and a well-trained star potential player can be affordable and a useful starter even into D III.

Id still look for a PA to train alongside... The initial price wont be much higher and with some training, will pop faster and he can sell for way more money later...

yeah, when I get to rebounding, Ima train my scrubs in order to sell them for a higher value. Like starter and stars can sell for a useful 50k after a few weeks training. That's why when I get to rebounding, I'm going to train Weinstein with them (Coleman and Delong) and may mix a little of Conroy too.

Ya, but 50k is nothing, especially cuz u only get half of that. 25k minus what u paid, minus his salary during those weeks of training and boom, didnt make anything...

I sold 3 18yos with PA potential, 2 for 100k each and one for 150k. I payed a max of 10k for each, one of them I got for 2k and didnt train them at all. With a few weeks of training they wouldve sold for more...

I just think that PA+ is just a much better investment, whether u want to train him to play in the team or to make money... Just gotta work the TM a lot to find the deals, but they happen all the time...

I would say once you are done training OD to move to passing if you are trying to make him a point guard, then throw in some one-on-one training

to comethalley's point I have three star potential players that are part of my rotation at a III level, all over 20k in salary. stars can be bought for very cheap and turned into useful players, they should not be overlooked so quickly

I might even argue you are wasting your money searching for high potential players at V since you don't need very high potential players to compete in lower levels

I look at players as an investment. They may be a good addition to the team, but I also want to sell for more than I got.

I wasn't saying that star players are useless, but that a PA+ will pop faster and be worth more later. A PA will probably be too expensive for a D5 or D4 team if trained right after a few seasons, so the idea is to train and sell, make money. Or train and have him as the main player with a high salary. I guess I just hate when a player doesnt pop at the end of the week lol

Potential has ZERO to do with how fast players pop.
