He's my trainee, and yes, he kind of sucks. Like you said, 1 OD means he can never be a PG or a SG, especially with his height. 1 PA makes SG even more of an impossibility. The combination of the two + 1 REB means he would suck as a SF, and 1 REB also makes him a crappy PF/C. However, his offensive skills are all decent except for his passing and I hoped someone would bite on the higher potential and higher driving.

Basically, the only reason I trained him is because I knew I was doing 1v1 for the first part of the season, and I drafted him and had a training slot open. It was cheaper to train him as a fourth trainee rather than fire him and buy another guy to use in that training spot. But I have little illusions as to his actual worth.

There is nothing wrong with him. Sure do a few weeks of passing and outside D, but save rebounding untill your about done with him. He'll get the benefit of the elastic effect and save on salary.

He must be the best atrocious rebounder ever, because he has 7 rebounds per game lol.

You're right. But for me, that doesn't work, since I'm training Downey, Marvin, and Hubenet who are all much bigger priorities, so I don't have the minutes available to single-position train him. That's why I'm selling him, because I'm moving back to single-position training. But Marvin is already a promising SF, Downey looks to be a good defensive SG, and Hubenet looks to be another good SF/outside PF candidate. I don't know which of them I'd jettison to single-position train a guy who will never be all that great.

@Moflaffle: strength of opposition.
