This guy should play on the wing (SG or SF). His passing isn't good enough to be a PG (maybe a backup) and his IS isn't really good enough to be an effective post scorer. Although I think he could play some at PF.

How old is he and what's his salary? Good overall player if he's young enough to train.

He is 19 with a salary of $4625 and his DMI is 12800.

Ok so what you are saying I could use this guy for my SG and the other guy for my PG?

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: average Handling: inept
Driving: awful Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: awful Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: atrocious

As he is still young and I guess it's worth training him I would also consider his height.
If he is close to 2m I would make him a SF, as he is very complete. But if he is too short (1.80) it is less worth training him in IS or ID.

I played him as a pf in my last game and he did pretty well there. He is 192cm tall.

The height does not influence the match ratings, but only the speed of training. Tall players will train slower in jump shot, jump range, handling and driving (i think), short players in blocking, rebounding, etc...

He is already a good PG, but he is so complete that with little effort he could be a very good SF (slightly too short, but still ok I think). I would suggest you to train him in Inside shot and driving to start with.

I'll try to buy a player like that in a few days... but a bit older (cheaper), not to be trained.

Good luck! :)

Remember, this will change after the all-star break. From the News item regarding upcoming changes:
2) The height modifier to training will be reduced, particularly for jump shooting. Additionally, a third type of jump shot training will be introduced that will allow SG and SF to train jump shooting in a way similar to the one PG and SG can currently train. Upon further study, it would appear that there are tall players (see Dirk Nowitzki) that can shoot. I guess this is the sort of mistake that happens when we design jump shot training during the playoffs.
