I'd take the 19yo if I'm training for my team and if I go for a SF, BUT PF formula tends to have high skills that are easily trainable and in fact could have low OD.

C+ should have over or around 2k salary I think so he'll likely be in the 45-50 TSP bracket. The guy may have very low PA and mostly decent skills. OD won't be too low, otherwise he'd be in another formula: I think he has all round decent skills but not many 7s, if any at all (because of its C+ rating). The 19yo probably has good inside skills and high salary (like 5.5k+) but if he has holes it may be OD and likely has mid 60s TSP.

So if you train as a SF it will likely boil down to what the actual potential is, but since you can't know that beforehand, I probably would take the 19yo. If they have the same potebtial they are likely to achieve similar builds but you need to train 1 less season. If you were going for big men or guards, I'd probably take the 18yo and pray he's HoF, but for SFs, MVP will most likely do.

You are making way too many assumptions and baseless incorrect claims. The salary formula especially at that level of salary does not depend on 3 skills, because 1 skill (out of 8 or 9) difference may move a player between PG/SG/SF/PF. One level in one skill, everythig else being the same. So yeah, there's a lot riding on the skills a player doesn't have.

You may have a player with 7 JS/JR/OD who is not a SG. And for players that are not A+ this is even more true.

I can't remember what lower rating mean in terms of salary, I don't know for sure what C+ means in terms of salary, but I think around 2k. That C+ could be something like this (although this may be a B or B-): https://i.imgur.com/WG6TyNQ.png, but that's a best case scenario. Of course, as I stated, I would assume 45-50 for the 18yo C+ and mid 60 for the 19yo A+. The SF formula is a pretty good formula, with the highest likelyhood of a hole being in PA (which not a big problem to have)
Note that if you are around 2k you can easily go in any other formula (except C) by moving a skill by 1 point. Increase PA/DR/HA and he goes into the PG formula, increase OD and he goes into the SG formula, increase IS or ID and he's a PF. It works by taking away skills as well.
