Hi, I'd like to hear your opinion on this guy I drafted (I finished first and scouted 19-year-olds so I'd have a chance to get them, got this one at 5*5*). He has pretty decent starting guard skills, but is it worthwhile to train him being a 19-year-old? I only got 1 other decent trainee, a PF that needs outside training, so I could train him without drawback. If I train him, I'd him balanced, so he probably won't reach his potential. Would it be better to sell him and buy an 18yo trainee, or isn't he worth all that much?

Also, is it normal that a new draftee starts with 8 FT?

I think this guy is well worth the 40k if trained well , ive bought similar and worse trainees for that and sold for a nice profit.

I got my #1 and #2 guys I'm not sure which prospect my third guy was.

I was planning on giving him mostly one on one and passing this season with some OD as well. What do you guys think?

That sounds like a good plan. Are you thinking of training ID/REB in the future?

Yes, I plan on doing that with my other trainee!

I have my three trainees. Two of them I'm training as future PGs and one as a future SF
