he's not gonna be a SF couse his relative low potential. he can be a nice SG\PG.


It's actually the other way around. PG/SG need higher potential than SFs. This is a great looking SF prospect with its' height and skills distribution. ID and JS are a bit worse, but it's not alarming at all. I think it's better to train as people will pass him up because of potential and you won't get more than 150k for him, if at all. As a trainee he can get pretty good though and after 3-4 seasons of training be a stud for your team or be sold for 1M+.

SF has more skills yes, but none of the skills are as high as those of PG/SG. The higher the skill, the more potential it eats.

I will give you an example:

Player with all skills on 12: 120 skill points, potential Perennial allstar - Superstar, salary: 50k

Player with first 6 skills on 17 and four inside skills on 1: 106 skill points, potential MVP - Hall of Famer, salary: ~200k

As he's an allstar, I wouldn't train too much Jump shot and Rebounding as those two eat too much potential of a SF. I'd concentrate on guard skills the next few seasons since you already have two of those and use this rotation:

2 weeks Pressure for PG (for Outside defense)
2 weeks 1 on 1 for Forwards

And you do this until his OD is 13. Depending on what you want for your other two trainees, you can swap one 1 on 1 week for Passing or Jump shot. But in order to be an effective SF for his potential and salary, he needs a lot of 1 on 1 for Forwards.

After you're done with your guards training, you can start with his ID which should be 11-12.

Then you round him out with a bit of RB (max 9) and JS (max 10). With these skills:ž

10, 7
13, 14
15, 8
12, 12
8, 7

He didn't even touch the allstar potential, so you can train him more in skills you like. You just have to know that for each pop in primary skill (especially RB, JS...) you can get 3-4 pops in secondary skills (HA, DR, PA, IS).

I´ve got this guy,

Weekly salary: $ 4 193

Age: 18
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: perennial allstar

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: average
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: inept Free Throw: awful

He is great, 60 in skillset not counting FT and ST, although a bit potential short.

Problem is that I will be training forwards 1vs1 all the season long and I think maybe he will lose part of his value if I don´t train OD, ID, etc.

What do you guys think. Do I try to sell him or go on training til better occasion?

Should I just repeat what koperby said? Because he's absolutely right that this guy is a good SF prospect, better so than a SG or PG.

I didn't meant to apply that he is wrong.
Just want to get a second opinion, If there is one.

If possible, I would sell. Unless he would be able to get 48+ minutes for SF/PF during the weeks you train 1v1, he would just be wasted talent.

1 on 1 for forwards is actually a great training for this guy. He will get pops in IS every 3-4 weeks because he is short and this will also create a slight positive elastic effect for the ID. Because of his potential, low JR and height, I think he is a great prospect for either an inside guard or a versatile SF on offense and SG on defense.

1 on 1 for forwards will also make a great elastic effect for OD and PA. If you are training 1 on 1 for F this whole season he may get to 10 or even to 11 in inside shot.
