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.

Thats why i want to make him a SF or inside oriented guard. I wouldn't want to waste those nice ID and IS. I just need IS and ID to get to prominent to be VERY effective.

P.S. free throw and shot blocking is not important.

Honestly, if it were the beginning of the season he would be a borderline trainee for me.

personally, FT is important because a good vs bad free throw team could mean the difference of 5 points per game and alot of the time, those 5 points is the difference between a win and a loss.

For a SF trainee, the bumps in guard skills due to the short height will offset the slow down of big man skills due to shortness, and vice versa for a tall trainee. This is why height isnt really important for training balanced SFs as the speed will balance out in the end, I cant explain it any clearer...

Now whether SB is important or not is subjective, but I firmly believe that they made the skill for a reason and that the majority of the top teams in any division have higher than averagein blocks (compared to its league) means something.

Personally, I think that's the wrong way to look at it. Right now i'm the 3rd worst FT% team in my league and I'm 18-1. Why? Because I put emphasis on far more important attributes.

I think FT's are grossly overrated when compared to all the other cats. In fact, for this particular trainee, I think FT and SB are by far the 2 least important of the 12.

Coach Coach, just because you've had two of the best trainees in all of BB the past 3-4 years doesn't mean anybody with less starting skill sucks! ;)
