Depends on how much money I have, what my plans are, what is the actual skill distribution of those TSP-s, height and many other things.

But if we are talking even skill distribution, same height and unlimited resources - you'd be surprised but I'd pick the 18 y.o.

well off course I know that. between a 75 tsp 19 yo and 60 18 yo . I would pick 18 yo all day long. BUT there are some factors that affect his potential skills/salary cap. How the tsp is distributed, whether u have gym and youth trainer, his height and his potential sublevels which of course you cant know them so 18 yo is the safer choice. At least for me.

What I was trying to say is that stating 19 75 tsp > 18yo 60 tsp is not a solid arguement.

A 19 yo draftee potential guard with for example 3 SB 3 RB,7 OD & 6 IS is hands down a better choice than an 18 yo potential guard with 6 rebounding 6 SB 3 IS 3 OD. But even in this case, with proper training the 18 yo might catch the 19 yo in the future. So imagine if the 18 yo has even better starting skills. At this point of the game, the best 19 yo draftee in the world is a potential far worse player than the best 18 yo in the world and that is the point of this topic. 19 yo draftees must be boosted.

Yes, I do want to train one additional season, because I will get a better player (3 players actually) out of it, eventually. A small difference which can be quite important at the top level.

You're wrong, you're leaving out the elastic effect.

Why do you say I don't train players? From where you drew that absurd conclusion, you're a troll from what I see.

Just a piece of advice for my last message to you in this thread - it is extremely difficult to learn and develop (in every context) while one maintains the "I know everything" attitude.

I would still pick the 18 y.o. and strangely enough the reason why has nothing to do with elastics. I saw Alonso mention it in a post of his that I came across recently. Maybe you can go through his posts - there's something to learn from many of them.

However the fact that we are having this discussion means that 75 as a hard TSP threshold for 19 yo draftees with increased skills would be close to optimal.
