Extra information
I drafted all but Ootsuka so they will give me extra income if trained.
Ko Maruya fouls out all the time.
Ootsuka is the most well rounded.
After a whole season of training 48+ every week Kano is still sub 3k.


If there was a greater difference in potential I would just go with the highest but I think there are sublevels of potential so the top perennial allstar is about the same as the lowest superstar but on average the 2 superstars can get a lot better & be NT level useful.

Even perennial allstar is good enough for JBBL, last season Noritada Konoe a allstar was my top scorer.

I realise you're not asking me, so feel free to completely disregard!

I drafted all but Ootsuka so they will give me extra income if trained.

That'd be my tie-breaker. Depends on whether you think Kano'll be at Ootsuka's level come 2 seasons.

Ko Maruya fouled out in 22 minutes yet again, he is untrainable, decision made.

Fair enough. Very good reason.

The Ko Maruya dilemma.

With secondaries at the pitiful & atrocious level he can never be anything but a PG or SG and his prolific foul ability makes him risky for any team to rely on. Superstar potential is enough to help our NT but he isn't the man.

Musashi Ootsuka is a fantastic well rounded player who has everything going for him except potential. I wont print his stats here as he is a big part of the U21 team but he is a lock to get training & he will certainly be JBBL level in a few seasons - heck the current JBBL he is now!

Ed Okeefe who I drafted this season is a 6'1" C with superstar potential. That says SF all over him for me. I just wish he was 18. He is certainly my #2 trainee and like Ootsuka he will benefit from inside & outside training.

Kano v Ko is the big debate, Ko is much, much, much better but the fouling out all the time just drives me nuts. Kano has fouled out 1 time ever.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lots of good stuff to think about here. I want to do 1 pos but Ko keeps messing it up...
