another 24-48 hours, depending on how end of season processing goes

Draft list is still up. I was able to spend a few extra points on the list

Loooks like you got the two 19 year olds with MVP and Hall of famer potential both with high salaries. You should post their skills.

After rereading everyone's post a hundred times last night (thanks again for the information), and agonizing about it for what seemed an eternity, I finally settled on ranking them 1, 3, 2.

The 18 year old went in the first round one pick before my turn. He's a SS potential making $3,300. I'm hoping his owner will let me post his skills for the sake of completion. Which he did...

Any advice on what to do next?

First of all, good choice in picking the 19 year olds. It didn't matter since you couldn't get the 18 yr old anyway.

JR is no big deal. You may want to train a few pops early in his career but its not a key skill.
Both players have average OD which is really nice
Both players have a great JS. Another +
Handling/Driving is decent on both. These skills train fast. One on One Forward or Guard will come in handy for these guys.
Passing also trains decently fast. So that's not much of a concern.

You could consider selling the HOF and building around your MVP.
Myself, I would keep both players and train them. One will be a starter before the other, but both will be practically uncapped players for a majority of their careers. Congrats!

I would train them at the Forward positions and i think you have your SF and PF for the future. I would look at training passing first and getting it out of the way since they are not really smaller players so its better to train the gaurd skills when they are younger.

Actually I think passing is not affected by height.

But it still might be nice to train that and other guard skills first since it's harder to play them out of position at PG when they get better (since you'll miss them more in their "right" position).
