Honestly? I do not think so. The main reason is that the OD and ID are really low along with atrocious driving. So regardless if you trained a guard or forward you still wouldn't be able to make up the ground necessary because he is also 6'7'' and not able to train very fast on inside or outside tactics. He seems like a SF candidate however a SF needs to have solid OD/ID and you would have to fix both.

I'm not trying to be a downer, but realistically I don't think he has a shot. Does that mean you shouldn't train him? Absolutely not...with MVP potential he has a lot of good training years without capping.

I based this totally on salary so take this leaderboard with a grain of salt, and remember, like half of our prospects fall off the map pretty quickly, some go bot, etc. So even if you have a 4k salary player or whatever, you still have a chance to make the U21 team, but it will be competitive.

Hmmmm shouldn't he have been put up for sale since his salary was greater than 5k? I thought they put in that rule but I may be misremembering.

I like ptown's depth.

anyway, other than not being under 21, not being american, & possibly no longer being as skilled as when they made the all-star team, can you tell me why you left these 2 SFs off your leaderboard?

i think if you have a salary under 10k and you go bot you don't go on sale

I picked this guy up for $100000. I am training C's all season because of this guy. HE has already had a pop in inside shot. The team he recently was on gave his minutes. 7'3,almost 7k starting salary, but he started at age 19. He has great defense 18.0 rebs so far,14.7 pts per game. 60% shooting. I am going to start him to get him as much minutes as possible. What's the best:Let Coach Decide , Coach decide , Strictly Follow Depth Chart , or Depth Chart until 4th. I have a level 4 trainer. He will most likely start the season. I Let my other C play both back up positions. I dont know if thats good but, should he play Reserve? I will train IS until a week after the allstar break, REB until the last game. I f we have to train blocking i will train blocking until the allstar break next season. I'm not so sure he will make the team because he has allstar potential and started at age 19. SHould i train JS? i will train Stamina After the allstar break next seaosn and during the playoffs this season. Good luck to all of the other prospects and teams!

I'm not trying to be negative about your prospect, but there is zero to no chance he will make the U21 or NT team. He can still become a very good player for you team, but his skills are not good enough when at the age of 19. Also, allstar potential for a center will lead to him capping around the age of 21/22. The USA just has too many good prospects out there with HOF/MVP potential.

Regarding training:
To get your player 48 minutes you must set your trainee as STARTER BACKUP and RESERVE.
You must also have only 9 players dressed for the game and set 1 at starter and the other at backup.
Select Strictly Follow Depth Chart and if in foul trouble Let Them Play.
