Good luck with that one.

I think you'd be far better off focusing on making him a balanced guard with decent IS and ID thrown in . At 6'3", you'll have a tough time getting his big skills to a high enough level to be a great SF.

theoretically, SF's height doesnt really matter in training because the bumps in one type of skillls will offset the drag in the other set of skills. but yea the atrocious FT and SB is a deal breaker for me in any trainee.

If you're training inside skills, and the trainee is only 6'3", it definitely makes a huge difference. The training speed will be quite slow and pops won't be very frequent. That's why I recommended concentrating on the quicker to train guard skills instead.

As for having atrocious shotblocking as a guard trainee, I personally wouldn't let it influence my decision at all. I think it's the least important category of them all and even less important for a non-big man. Plus having both his IS and ID already at level 6 for an 18 year old is a great advantage for a guard prospect. Atrocious FT shooting obviously isn't ideal but it trains so quickly that he could still have it up to level 3/4 in a few years without concentrating on it and just training it randomly.
