A NBBA caliber PF? With P. Allstar potential and 6'7" height? I don't think that is possible. He will be a very good SF (or inside oriented SF/outside oriented PF). I believe the 6'6" PF on the NT that you are talking about was probably an SF, who's suggested position was at the PF spot. a 6'7" P. Allstar PF doesn't have enough potential or height to do well in the NBBA, unless he is only a backup. I think it is more beneficial to have him as an SF though because as an SF the potential won't be as much of a problem and 6'6-6'7 is about ideal for an SF.


The height's not that much of a problem - over the course of three seasons of training IS, ID and RB, you'd basically end up with one fewer pop each in IS, ID and RB vs a 6'10" guy, which is far from a major difference. The PAS potential, though, is going to be tough to make an NBBA guy - even with just about perfect secondaries. I've got a 6'10" guy I'm training with PAS potential in fact and his secondaries are extremely high, but he's not likely to ever be NBBA starting material.

As a backup, why not? If hes well rounded then he wont cap as soon. I just think he has glaring holes that will make it troublesome to be a SF

He doesn't have any holes except for passing which is pretty easy to fix I think.

For me 2 passing is a very big hole, especially for a small forward. You'll have to dedicate a ton of time for passing if hes a SF. At PF, you can get away with a little less passing.

Maybe if you don't want a quality PF. Good PF's should have at least least decent passing, so he has to train it either way.

I understand that good PFs should have decent passing but its not hard to get to decent passing(5 -7). Good SFs need good passing(9+), which is very troublesome when starting at 2.

Except for the fact that this guys rebounding and jum range and all his secondaries area all very good. He doesn't even need to train jump range and rebounding if he doesn't want to because they are at respectable and average. This allows him plenty of extra time to get passing up a ton. He has no other holes what-so-ever.

Ok, that's nice. But I'd make him a PF so I wouldn't have to spend all those extra weeks training PA and get to focus more on other skills.

*sigh* okay we can agree to disagree. I just believe it is more advantagous to make an SF out of a 6'7" guy with P. all star potential.

I would choose to make a pf from him.

8 7
8 11
11 7
13 13
13 10

That is within his cap range. He has some space left probably.

I would start training 1-1 on guards till Hd and Dr are both at 11. Than train passing en OD up and maybe his JS needs a little bit of training than.
His guards skills should in my view be finished within 2 seasons. Than you can start training him inside which probably needs 3 seasons. So at the end of 22. He has over 100 skill points a salary around 50k and you have a nice all-round pf.

SF in my view needs more training of OD, JS, JR and Pa. But I find it very difficult to tell you how your sf should look a like, because in my view in BB is de SF the glue guy. Hardly ever the star.

Only in the dark, we succeed!
