Ikeuchi will be a "well-rounded PF" (I hope). He's a 6'10" Superstar, so I'll have to be careful - but he could be useful. He's 20, but I got him when he was 19. That given, he's not doing too badly.
Agano- He is very tall so developing him as an outside SF is going to be slow. For now its find, this gives him a good base to be, I believe A PF in the future. Here is the deal-
Our U21, right now, needs quality bigs more than SFs. We need RB. I can't/wont train Sugihara's RB. IF I draft/acquire a top-end big prospect that I coudl train Agano with, that might work. Or if I draft a top-end guard I will definitely be moving Agano.
I am leaning towards trading Agano to someone who wants to make a top-quality PF for Nippon. A big F. I dont' think he has enough potential to aim for NT C duties. But as a rotation Forward for us he could be awesome. His guard stills are a great base, and with his height and age, He can have the bigs skills added as soon as someone starts training them.
I'm guessing that I'm most likely not going to get anything useful in the draft... so I'd definitely be in the market for Agano (I know you know this!).
