Im trying to decide which of these players should be at the top of my draft list.

player, star rating, potential, position, grade rating, age, height

player1 , 5, 5, PG, A-, 18, 6'10"

player2, 5, 4, PG, A+, 19, 6'2"


I really like player 1 especially being a 6'10" PG. meaning it will probably be easy to make him a well rounded player, but the A- rating is worrisome. I know I've been disappointed in the past in A- rated players. usually not worth keeping on my bench.
player 2 on the other hand might be good enough to be a bench player for me but he's 19 and a little less potential. also more of a pure PG probably. just looking for some opinions. thanks

I'd take player one because of age and potential.

But the other factor is your other trainees. You have a number of 23yo and under, they can't all be being trained. The short version of training advice is have 2 key trainees and have a third who is trained but if he happens to get reduced minutes because of some reason then it is not the end of the world. If you draft the 6'10" you can get some training to Rekscis and Jazilionis but they would be better as #3 trainee at this point and you should get another tall player as a #2 trainee.

Conversely if you get player 2 look for another guard to train with him and give maybe Rodewald some training.

Player 1 no question
1. Better potential
2. 18 years old
3. Already a strong foundation in some the secondaries so won't require as much out of position work.
4. If he isn't a guy you want to train... With his potential you could sell for a lot

I know you have already gotten help, but I just thought I would add that you should never pass up on a 5/5 player who is 18, regardless of his position or height.

i had drafted 6,9 pg with B rating, ends up 2,7k salary with like 40 skillpoints, yes atrocious inside shot but overall i am excited.

skills were:

2 7
7 7
4 6
1 7
7 5

so in my opinion a rating would be even better beast potencially. this means little,. like 1-2 seasons outside training for beast guy, and with high other inside skills ill prolly get 6pops of IS IN 6 WEEKS:d

so does iD on IS , well, atleast i think so, cause trained guards and trained OD first, when they were 22 and 23 years old i felt incredible elastic effect training jump shot, got like 8 pops per player a season at that age i count like better than i can expect at age 18 player without elastic efect. my bigs got training at js too, but missed OD, so i aded another season of od training and on bigs got like 5pops ea poer season, still pretty high considering their height, so atleast js, od elastic efect worked very well either way.
