I just added him to the DB. So if you check again, you'll see him at the top of the list for 18YOs.

Someone may delete him at some point, since his potential is low. But I though you may like seeing him up at the top!

Wow awesome, thanks! So as of right now, he's the #1 PG, SG and SF prospect. Of course that won't last, but still, pretty sweet.

Given how he looks right now, is there any specialized skill set that would give him a chance despite his potential? Or should I forget about the whole idea?

he'll be fully trainable through his 20yo season. i have experience in this. I have an AS potential guard and he is 22 and still popping. He has been single position trained most of his career. 15/15 in JS/OD too. There is a misconception about AS potential guards.

@goon, train the heck out of your guy and you'll have a shot if his skills are worthy.

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: respectable
Driving: awful Passing: strong
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: mediocre


I want to improve this player in Driving. Do I do pressure or one on one? (He's 18 and in this contest, that's why I'm posting this here)

One on one will train driving about much, much faster than pressure.

Now, depending on what you want to do with this guy in the end, you could do 1v1 guards, or 1v1 forwards. Both train driving and handling about the same speed, but guards will give more increase to JS, while forwards trains JS slower, but also adds some IS training.

I would do 1v1 for guards, personally. looks like he is a guard prospect.

I got a nice 5 star, 4 POT, Grade A, 18 yr, 6'7 Trainee in my draft pool this season. Hopefully the guys in league draft horribly and I can nab him. Oh and he scored 28 pts in 28 mins.

Sounds nice, hopefully you get superstar potential too.

I've had a nightmare training a 6'7" player, just seems slow to train everything! lol

Wow! that is an amazing player and great potential as well. He should make the U21 team in season 22 if you train him right. Unfortunately "competition" is for players who are trying to make the season 21 U21 team.

I'm sure he's trying to make it into that team too. You never know ;)
