Somewhere there was a mentoring thread where people could sign up to be mentored, not necessarily just on training, just whatever they wanted to know. I believe it is in the USA forum but cant find it at the moment. Maybe it got deleted.

Not that this answers your question but if your prospect is good enough, chances are you will have been contacted about it.

Ummm if you asked Coco or Juice a.k.a Edju or Wozz I'm sure they would give advice or point you in the right direction. I know Coco assigned me a couple people who may or may not have been responsive.

I know you're not a fan but the off site forum is another place.

Basically if you need help, ask it in the this forum and I am 100% sure someone will give you advice or be willing to help.

Maybe we should restart the mentoring thread.

There is no cap to skills based on height. Height only slows or speeds training.

Also, good point on the swaps. I forgot that.

Thanks for the advice all. Glad to hear that my "gut" was correct that he is a SF prospect. Do you think he is a good enough prospect to switch out my existing training plans to focus on him?

I have three decent PG prospects who I started working on last season at 18 and are now at 19. I guess if I focused on OD/Passing then I could continue to work them this season.

you should probaly make him a SF because he's someone thats built to play SF and PF but he could probaly be a Peja Stojaković. So thats my reason.

Any advice on this player?

Age: 18
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: superstar
Jump Shot: respectable
Jump Range: awful
Outside Def.: awful
Handling: awful
Driving: average
Passing: average
Inside Shot: awful
Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: respectable
Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: pitiful
Free Throw: inept

He is currently listed as an SF, but seems like a huge project no matter which direction I go. At 6'2 he'd be a better PG but the skills are lacking. Should I just sell him to someone who has the facilities to train him up properly?

I hate to say it but I think he's just a lost cause. He best shot would be SF however with his height mathematically you would want to train the bigmen skills first then switch to the guard skills but he is so bad outside I don't think it will be worth the time. I would just try and cash out and get yourself a new trainee.
