21 years are ok if they are already at an acceptable level and at least mvp potential. in any other case they will not get efficient training and when you decide to sell them, you wont get a good return for your training effort.
stamina and free throws do not have direct impacts on players quaility and they can be trained even when they are 30. however the total points on his other abilities defines the player. of course you might prefer a total point of 45 with good point guard abilities for a point guard, but a player who is 6'3 and good inside skills which again sums up to same number might be also preferable as he will be a more complete player in the future. to me either is nice as long as the potentially good player youchoose to train is already at some level. if you pick a player who has 38 total points will need a year of training just to be mediocre and he will be a year older.
so it is always better to go with 50 total points and above superstar potential but this guys wont come cheap. if you dont have enoungh cash, you can easily found a few players with lower qualities than those. do not forget that as potential goes up, so does the players' years to be trained for.
be careful when buying them. it is better to go for either bigs or smalls. in the end all of the trainees will get the same training and height has a decisive effect on the pace of the training you want to give.
