Tough decision on my hands regarding this kid that has a combined 59 skill levels across 10 skills, but low potential:

John Reith (30030473) Small Forward

Weekly salary: $ 4 445
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 0
Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: average Handling: respectable
Driving: respectable Passing: awful
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: average Free Throw: mediocre

Experience: atrocious

Was thinking of making him my 2nd/3rd trainee, except for the fact that I'm training guards, not SF's, and already have my sights set on moulding Cicvaric into an U21, and later senior, national team player. Should I keep him or should I sell him, that is the question...

Woke up early for the draft, got a 52 pt $4300 MVP 6'5 18 yo.

Roberto Troia. Sounds Mexican or Spanish.

Ivan Nicklaus (Sounds Russian)
18yo $3017 MVP 6'1" 59pts (including FT and STA) and 48 (w/o FT and STA).

I'm proud of my draftee fits into my training regime perfectly.

I was unsure on whether to put 1st preference on a 6'7" SG 5/5 18yo. Turns out he's a HOF. I hope I didn't miss out on a really good pick :S

I think Star potential is really underestimated in terms of what you can do with a guy with that potential.

yer ok this guy is ONLY ever going to be a bench player at best, but you get his OD to Proficient, his ID to Proficient, and he is able to sit on the bench for you at SG/SF/PF

and thats only 4 pops. what you do after that is up to you. 2 pops in JS gets his JS to Proficient, two pops in rebounding his RB to Proficient.

so for 8 pops, you could have 4 stats at Proficient - Thats not bad!

Then - i would smash his DR. Ive got a guy who i drafted in my second season, has Starter potential - I got his ID up to proficient and IS to Prominent, but I pumped his DR to Prolific. Yer ok he doesnt dominate at PF, but having a bench guy with really good DR at PF, is a nice little tool to be able to use in some games.

So yer. depends on the rest of your training plans - JS and RB is easy to incorporate him into, you would need to sacrifice 4 weeks (approx) of OD and ID training from another trainee over the course of the next season or two.

cause unfortunately, the other alternative is get nothing for him on the transfer market.

Perhaps I'll train him in outside skills for a season or two, then list him. I can't train him inside because of my HOF guard but I can definitely get his Passing, JS and OD up before I sell him, that should increase his value on the market (once sold a starter potential trainee for 300k because I gave him 2 seasons of training).
