Have a look at the senior Aussie NT and there is no-one with less than superstar potential

so the senior Australien NT is the minimum quality a player should get to be usefull, conclusion the senior NT of australia is the weakest team in the bb world and every player had to be in end at least that good that he play there.

Yes teams in division IV can't afford a fully trained superstar but it is not where you are but where you want to end up you should be thinking about.

...

e thing is the game takes a lot of patience. Do you really want to spend a year of real time training a player who will then be capped and will only be able to be a backup in the future or would you like someone who can continue to grow as your team grows?

your team won't grwow when you have div 1 starting centers/guards and div 6 of the rest. Your team don't grow when you pay a lot for potential, stiop training after a year when they reach the half of it, or when you train 1,5 yyear to get their because you have to buy real weak trainees to get the potential you didn't use. Better promote earlier in investing in stff you need at te time, and get more visitor income instead of training players to high for your level and lack in the different positions.

And yes stars and allstars could be still abckups and usefull in div one, lesser potential could you also help a long term when you a in div 4 at the moment.

They are the other guys. I plan on trying to draft another PG with high potential or look at buying a kid start of next season and sell off or stop training one of these.
Any help would be greatly apprieciated

Hey whompa. Player #1 looks excellent and will train very fast. Player #2 is old but already has good skills and the advantage of him would be you can play him in league games without getting your ass whomped. Player #3 is good but not for you. He is already quite old and very tall, someone that wants to train SFs would like him, but your 18 year old 6'0" does not want to become a SF so I would try to find a better 3rd trainee.

does not have high enough potential

thanks Yoda,
yeah I was originally planning to do SF, but decided to go gaurds after I already purchased players 2 and 3. I thought if i train them all this season move on player 3 with high OD I should make a decent profit as he will be 21 superstar potential with maybe sen or trem OD

Probably smash the D up first on #3 mate. It will give you a sensational skill to hang your hat on when you sell him. If find that i've had the best luck selling guys that are have an excellent secondary skill level (say big guys with avg+ OD, JS or passing) or one big skill that people will not have to worry about training.

If he gets to sensational OD it will be ideal for a bloke that wants to train him inside to make him a SF. IF you can get that up quickly you can sell him off this year before he ages 1 yr which will help get you some more $$$$.

all-star is minimium, because you could probably succesfully 1 position train an allstar for 3 and a half-4 seasons. With a star it takes you less, however, i think anyone could pull of a SF star for an U21 team to come off the bench:) However, i agree with the "dolts" ( :p ). Do not train anything under 7, because it's useless. Ofc, you might get lucky and sell a guy with potential 4 with 700k and buy something useless(seen it happen) , but this is very rare. A guy with potential at least 7 can go a very long way. Longer than you would expect.

For instance, if you train a guy with potential 8-9, for about 6 season(let's say PG), he would be a 150k PG at 22-23, that will own, any league he is in.
