Post the box score, you might find out that one player is going to have serious problems. Either player may be foul prone and it would be really bad if the SG was horrible in a guard skill as it would take a long time to fix it.

The boxscores can be a bit LOL... but a few things I've noticed are.

Minutes played, I've never seen a player with 20 minutes have a good stamina skill. Although you can get a 42 minute guy with Awful, inept stamina too I've seen... more minutes lends to a higher skill in that.

Fouls. 3 fouls in 20 minutes means this player is fouling every 6 2/3 minutes in this game. This can be a sign of poor defense, or poor stamina (he only played 20 minutes so I'd lean toward Stamina) but it could be both.

Free Throws. A lot like Stamina, going 4 for 4 or 4 for 5 doesn't tell much but a guy going 0 for 6 more is sign of a bad FT shooter.

TOs. A guy with a ton of them is usually always Inept or worse in Handling.

Position. This can tell a bit about their skills layout. a SG will usually have a good JR will a SF will usually have a good JS and okay skills inside.

I've been looking a SFs and you can get away with a 3 Ball one if you are building an all round one. I'd go with Player B in that instance. But if you want an Inside dominate one, Player A is a good prospect for that and will at least come with some JR then you'd just have to hope you have good OD and relatively good ID. But there is the risk with him being foul prone, but honestly that's a risk with all players, one game doesn't show much honestly.

My suggestion: take a gamble with Player A.

I agree with 1kAUspoon. 3 Fouls in 20 minutes is a red flag. While I usually advise people to take the higher potential player, for SFs, potential is less of a concern. Still, apart from the seemingly bad shooting and the potential, plaer B looks like the better trainee.

If they were both SG I'd go with B but there's no guarantee that he'd have good OD,ID or JR but at A+ rating he'd have to have one... if not I need you at my poker table.

Maybe Player B is the better choice actually. I just like to gamble, player A could be a great player, or you could get royally screwed.

Hey Guys!

I could use some help 2, hope it is ok to join this thread.

I can't decide which player i should choose:

Player A:
PF - 7'0'' , 18y

SR: 5 Pot: 5 GR: A

FG: 8-12 ; 3FG: 1-2; FT: 3-5; OR: 1, TR: 3; AST: 1; TO: 5; STL: 1; BLK 1, PF: 2 PTS: 20; MIN: 24



Player B:
PF - 6'6'' , 18y

SR: 5 Pot: 5 GR: A-

FG: 10-16; 3FG: 2-2; FT: 4-5; OR: 2; TR: 7; AST: 4; TO: 3; STL: 1; BLK: 3; PF: 1; PTS: 26; MIN: 32




its so hard, i hope i'll get both ;) there are only bots in my league, is there a chance to get both?

Depends on what you need and want to train.

If you need a SF for the future, a guy that you'll keep on your team for 12+ years, player B. Since SF, especially all-round ones tend to be on the cheaper side you should be able to handle his price as you move Divisions.

If you are already training bigs or need future big man or just want to sell a prospect the Player A is the choice. He'll probably be able to make the U21 team and be NT prospect. Player B could easily be a NT prospect but SF train slower typical so he may not be ready for U21 if you get a few trouble skills, like OD.

So Player A better prospect, Player B could end up the best player compared to salary number.
