I think he's going for a SF, because of the player's height.

On another note, he's not MY draftee, but he's a trainee I bought for this season, and one I think will be pretty good in a couple of seasons.. He's German, however, so not a US U21 propect. Sorry, Jelme/whoever we elect after Jelme's term if he doesn't get re-elected.

I like the Pitiful experience to start with :D He may be a bit tall for a guard prospect, but it's alright- the first trainee I bought for the guard position over a year ago was 6'8", and is now not too bad...

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

I already have several PF-types that are better than Hamby will be this season or next. I do very well with these guys and getting better ball handling and then a little offense will be the best route for my team. Next season I'll work on the big man skills.

Even if you were going SF I would still do big man skills first. I'd want my players to contribute as much as possible as soon as possible.

He'll contribute more at PG this season than he would at PF or C (or even SF) where I have 6 players better than he will be this season. Plus he'll train faster at PG skills this season, will he not?

Where we differ is that I have a vision of how I want my team to play over the course of several seasons, not simply this year. Hamby is the future.
