PF with atrocious Jump Shot? I think the atrocious jumpshot relegates him to a life as a center. OD on your center is never a bad thing though. Unfortunately I also think superstar potential is too low to be a big man candidate for the national team. He will still be a U-21 candidate though and will defeinitely be the cornerstone of your franchise if you keep him and train him up. Good luck!

wow. talk about being good at draft and with a little luck, very very nice. increase the PA to at least 7, maybe some HA pops, then all inside skills. Good luck and hope you can mold him to an excellent player.

If he stayed at atrocious JS forever, yes, that would probably be right. But between 1v1 training weeks and maybe mixing in some JS weeks later in his career, getting that JS to a better value is far from impossible. It's certainly easier than trying to raise an atrocious OD.

Thanks everybody for the advice! I think I am going to try to occasionally train OD and passing to get those up two or three levels, and I'll do 1v1 or JS on two-position weeks. The rest of the time I'll work on training inside skills. I like the idea of a PF like hrudey suggested, taking advantage of his 7 OD, and hopefully this will allow him to stay in contention to make the U21 National team.

Wow dude you hit the jackpot... a 7k Superstar 18 year old 7'2" Center and a 5k P. Allstar 18 year old 7'0" Center.... i wish i could have gotten one of them Personally i would sell one if not both of them because the 7'2" dude is probably worth about 2million bucks and the other could rack up at least 400-500k. It's up to you though. I think since you are in the lowest league though you don't really need two salary beasts so i would train them and buy really good players and then a rookie thats cheaper.

Kind of sucks to see some new team created, taking over a bot team languishing somewhere down the table but high up in draft pick, just in time, JUST IN TIME, a 3, 4 weeks before the draft to scout enough points and land a 5.5k 18 year old All-time Great. And it was his No.1 preference. I repeat, his No.1 preference. Just so damn lucky to know exactly which one was the 18 year old with 5x5. I scouted nearly whole season 3 points a week and there were plenty more unscouted 18 year olds. I'm not suggesting he used another team to show him exactly what height and position 18 year old to scout and choose as the number 1 preference. I just wish one day BBs can make height and position not so obvious. Like C-PF grouped together, then PF-SF... and for height 6'0-6'3" grouped together...etc

And you know what sucks the most? The guy just let him play 10 minutes in the last scrimmage. Didn't even start! FML (feel sorry for my country)

ANYWAY

I got a decent 3.9k PA PG from the draft who I will train and get me out of this Division one day.
