What level trainer you got? 4 is alright on this guy.

I personally would get his OD up to 6 or 7 before moving inside so that he can be a more complete PF but besides that I agree.

Go to Nt country manager and ask for a dynamic sf trainingand let this guy lead your team . Let him start.

I happen to be the USA scout handling the 19yo Bigs this season. I will send you a BB-mail.

SELL HIM. You will never get him close to realizing his all-time great potential. Someone else will think they can, and give you a lot of money for him. Money that you can use to buy better trainees and build a better team. This is your ticket to $$$!!!

i think that the right choice is to sell him.. he has a big market value right now and you will need too many work to increase this value..

Lots of people are going to suggest that you sell him, but if you choose to keep him, realize that you have your future franchise player squarely in your hands right now. You may never reach his full potential, and he may not ever start on the US National Team, but if those aren't your goals, and you'd rather just have a player that you can train exactly to your liking and you will have on your team for years to come, then by all means keep him.

Some folks will claim that you won't be able to afford him, but if you develop his secondary skills first and don't train his primaries too high early on, you can most likely keep him within your budget for a good long while.

Note: I meant to reply to Gamebred, the original poster.

To the op don't sell just ask for the nt coaches for a training regime and dedicate yourself to it. hard work does payoff.

if you sell you will regret it, trust me

Please don't selll this guy,and train him yourself,this guy is sadly 19,so you won't receive that much money for him.If he was 18 it could go up to maybe 2 million,but now somewhere between 500k / 1 million.
I would start by training OD for a while,and level it up to 8,after that some 1V1 and make a multiskilled PF of this player.After that you can start training inside ,this is a great player for your team ,and should bring some extra merchandising in the future.Should you decide to sell him after several seasons you still could receive a lot of money,because he is multiskilled.

yes the op should not sell. People who tell you to sell, actually want your player for them selves most of the time, while a few actually want to help. Everyone is competition

His height makes him a big man. It's probably better that his secondaries already started off decently well, since those tend to pop slower than inside skills based on height. Yes, he will take a lot of work on inside skills but with ATG potential and 7 seasons, who knows? The NT needs bigs with good secondaries.

Even if he doesn't become an NT player, he will become a fantastic player for your team, and his value will increase on the market, once your dine training him. It's very hard to train NT players given, salary, and training out of position, they ususally are 28 yrs of age to be considered for the team. There are no guarantees for your player making the team, but given some time, dedication and patience he could catch up to comparable players his age.

Trust me all the hard work will pay of you have an amazing prospect you can invest in. I had many nay sayers tell me my trainee can never measure up as NT caliber. I still have a lot of training to catch him up with the rest of the players, however he still is a great player for my team. Hard work definitely pays off.
