i agree. if you want to sell him right away, put him down, because the potential factor is indeed a big one on a 18year old. chances of picking an other 5 star player with potential 2-5 aren't that low either.
if you want to train him you have to decide, how long you want to train him. one year and done, he's your man. otherwise, maybe you have a 4 star player with high potential, this one will peak on an higher level if you train him long enough.

How about Turnovers, would you dismiss a 5 star player (unknown potential and age) with 4 TO's in 40 min? Even if he has 10 AST, 3 ST and 4 BL...? (and 3 TR and 2 PF)

How about 5 star (unknown potential and age) with 4 TO's in 20 min?

I guess TO's are related with the amount of passing, stamina and handling of the player. Since stamina and handling both train extremely fast I, for myself, don't really look at the TO's in the boxscore.
But this is my opinion, it's hard to say anything about the boxscore of the player, since it's only 1 match.

The average level of the 19 yo's and 18 yo's is about the same.

is it smart to choose them ?

It depends on what you want to do with your player.

If you want to train them and make one your new team icon, then I would prefer a 19yo 4 stars skill and 4 stars potential over a 18 yo 5 star skill and 2 star potential.
But if you plan to sell your draftees then I would prefer 18yo high potential players over high skilled 19yo draftees.

But once again that's my opinion ;)
