Does it make any sense to train him as a guard or SF? Or would it really take too long because of his height?
I dunno... ever seen people train Yao Mings to play as guard? Just to answer the question I haven't seen a decent 7'0" in buzzerbeater yet.
But you can be the first
A bit of a blanket statement there... a tad ridiculous (statement, not you!).
I have 2 bigs I'm training (one requiring a lot more work on his secondaries than the other). The younger one (21) is 7'2", and his training has been such that he is on the HK U21 team as a SF/PF.
