He won't be able to train any further than his potential allows, but at least he got a headstart and will be able to help your team faster =)

I was faced with the same dilemma too last season and I drafted a 5 x 2 x A+ 18 year old as my second pick. I'm actually walking a tight rope building him but he will be a good role player for me some day.

Weekly salary: $ 4 520
Role: rotation player
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 39200
Age: 18
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: respectable ↑ Handling: prominent
Driving: proficient Passing: awful
Inside Shot: proficient Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: average Free Throw: strong

Experience: atrocious

Just scout some more but I'd go with that 5 x 3 A+ if you can't find any better.

Isn't there a problem with him only being 6'6?

Not really, unless you plan on making him a Center or PG.

His listed position reflects his current abilities...which could mean he has low JR or OD. Alternatively, it could just mean he has a relatively high IS, ID, RB or SB. I would check the game stats for how many 3 pt shots he attempted, assists and TOs. This will be reflective of his JS/JR, PA, and HA, respectively. If those look okay, I would say he is a safe bet to draft and train as a SF. If not, you still may want to take a flier on him as he could still be a good stretch 4 with proper training.
