Good choice. A 7 footer with MVP+ potential and even only mediocre skills to start could easily sell for a million.

A 7 footer IMO is the best trainee you can get with 5/5. If I were you, I'd consider building your team around him.

Both players will make great trainee's for you. Over the long-haul, you will earn a lot of merchandise thereby making him a cheaper player.

Think about this, the taller the player the better he trains at: one on one PG/SG (driving/handling/JS), passing, inside scoring, inside defense, shot blocking, and rebounding. So overall, he will train 8 skills well. But outside defense and outside shooting will train very slow.

Consider keeping him. I wish I would have kept my 6-10 HOF that started on my team. 3 drafts in the same DIV 5 and the best player ever drafted was a 6-11 Superstar. I still think I drafted well, but I doubt I will ever draft a HOF or better.

and to add to what lawrenman said.

His 1v1 training will be fast and if you pump his handling up, you'll get a nice elastic effect to raise OD fairly fast.

I can see your POV on this, but don't quite agree.

But I reckon its because we put different weightage on different aspects of picking the draft pick. So that's cool. At the end of the day, its about what we all think our own teams need, and that's always a personal choice based on our own experiences and opinions :)

His situation is a little different though. You only sold your player for 300k whereas he will probably be able to sell his draftee for 1mil+. Especially since the USA is doing a U21 supporter challenge for these next draftees. He doesn't really need a 7 foot salary monster on his team in my opinion.
