Is it a possibility that there are more hidden skills like foul prowness such as hidden talent for scoring or something. That would clarify why my 19yo draftee is performing like a maniac compared to his actual skills. His gameshape is just as high as the rest of my roster.

There is a hidden aggressiveness factor, if that's what you're referring to. It accounts for a player's fouling tendency, not sure how it impacts the offensive side of the game tho.

Referring to your maniac, sometimes that does happen, I mean, I once had a backup SF and he put up a 52 point game. He was nothing special. And to your other question about hidden skills,

Its been thought players have an aggressiveness to them, some players commit very little fouls, and some commit a lot of fouls. This is known just to be their nature, but sometimes is also dependent on their defense.

So if a player fouls a lot, its just like a tendency and there's really nothing you can do about it unless you're willing to take his talents to South Beach.

I know about the agressiveness... My question was, are there OTHER hidden stats.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I don't think there are any others but if so you'll just have to wait for Manon to see this thread :D. I reckon he has already, a thread never gets past him. :)

Absolutely no doubt there is.

Now asking me to list them might be tricky...

Well it is hidden in some of those guys.

Also some players are built to have much longer careers than others too. I've seen players hit age 33 and their skills start falling immediately and I have a 35 year old on my roster who has barely slipped since he was 31 years old.
