I would just like to point out that potential does not affect training speed. It affects how far a player can be trained before hitting a soft cap, which is somewhere between 30-35k, according to the latest knowledge.

He is all I have and I think I could train him to be a good player and sell him for 2-3 mil. I'm hoping to draft a Supersar+ guard in this season's draft. I really have no better options to train as well as no money.

you should sell and buy. training is effective if you have at least 3 trainees. this one is acceptable if only you are training two other potentially strong guys. so you should hit the market, and find suitable guys for your training regime with at least allstar potential. as i said, this player has nice skills overall but he will likely be unable to reach the levels his buyer would pay 2-3 million.

Incorrect.
a) Training speed is not effected by potential until you hit the cap.
b) One skill at "awful" is not ideal but it's not the worst thing in the world, particularly if you are trying to build a guard for an inside offense team and your other trainees are SGs anyway.
c) The cap for star players is closer to $30-35k as per the other posts in this thread.
d) Why would you train him up to age 27?

As for the OP: I think that $2-3m on the transfer market is a bit optimistic given recent market conditions, but I think you can create a good, serviceable role player for your team. A player capped at say $27k is still a rotation player for almost any team and I am training a guard right now who had similar starting skills and star potential who will likely be my 3rd guard in the long term. His skills at $21k salary were good enough to make him an effective division 2 guard and by the time he caps I don't see why he can't be useful in the Naismith if I ever get there.

he's not that bad. it's worth traininig him. you can cretae an all around player in 30-40 k range and he will help you. Don't get carried away by the potential, I have seen superstars ending up as mediocre players and starts becoming stars in this game. As long as initial skills and height are ok, it's fine to train the guy.
