hey there.
I am also planning on training a SF for the next few seasons.
My trainee is 6'7" with MVP potential

from my knowledge, yes SF's bridge the gap between Guards and big men. However there are outside and inside oriented SF's.

Either way, you should train both inside and outside defense, and try to make the player well rounded, but pick an inside or outside focus.

The 6'5" is good to train his guard skills, 6'8" can be more inside oriented, almost like a PF.
And the 6'6" in my opinion, looks like he can be great all around.

So its your call, but you should know if you didnt already that there are many options for you to play around with.

personally im trying to get my SF right in the middle for the first 2 seasons, then wih whatever times left over i may train up certain spots.

Good luck.

btw: if anyone wants to shed some advice for me aswell that be great.

Why not train all 3.
Have 1 Inside focussed, 1 outside and 1 as balanced as possible.
Once trained play 1 at SG one at SF and 1 at PF :D

I'm in a doubt with this height. He's too tall for guard training, and to short for big man training. Don't you think so?

I don't know I've been training a guy that is 6'7" and yes his big man skills do train a bit slower, but I think it is a good height for a PF. You will be able to add on the couple of side skills for him to be good.

And just to let the guy know my 6'7" guy trained in big man skills for 2 seasons and just hit 13k salary at the start of this season. So I wouldn't expect him to train fast, but if you are switching skills back and forth during the season he will still steadily become better.

Do you think superstar is enough potential for creating "star" SF? Cause he needs skills at both ends and I'm afraid with this potential this player could start to slow down at the moment I make the training switch towards the opposite set of skills.

Btw, I'm talking about getting a player similar to this:

JS 14+ JR 12+
OD 12+ HN 12+
DV 12+ PA 12+
IS 13+ ID 12+
RB 10 + SB 5+

is this possible with superstar potential?

Well plugging those numbers into the salary calculator on the important threads page a player with those minumum skills will be on $80,553. The formula would have changed with the different salarys this season. But superstar will easily be enough to create a great SF.

Potential is more related to skills than salary.

So how would that work? Each potential has a limit on the total skills a player can have before training slows?

Not quite sure, but I think that's the closest statement to BB reality. If someone knows different then please post.

I think that for your idea of SF a smaller player 6'5 or 6'6 is the better choice

I just disagre that both defences should be the same,I think OD should be 2 levels above ID,that makes a smaller SF even better for trainig porpuses

and yes the potential is more related to skills,so I would advice you to dont let any skill go to higher,for example
train the JS up to 11 and balance your player,then finish the JS training
