My U21 Center prospect (11815941) has improved 1 skill every week so far. He will be a monster.
He has the right height to improve his inside skills quickly. A general statement, though, not necessarily related to this player... Secondary skills definitely have some importance (OD, passing, handling, etc), even for a C. So the more atrocious-awful skills a player has, the less value he has in my books.
Although, in general, the secondary skills of our inside players tends to be rather poor.
