Well, I did land a 19-yr old 6'8" MVP Point Guard that has decent skills, I guess. Can someone informed please evaluate this player for me, and do it honestly.

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


I plan on continuing to train Partridge and train guards so he might be able to train but he's pretty big and might not train all that well.

FYI, got him in Round 2.

Well, if you have a trainee spot and you are going to train guards skills (and you don't have money to buy a decent player) I will keep him otherwise it is not worthy.

I think having this 6'8" guard allows me to be a little flexible.

He'll train shooting pretty fast for having good secondary skills if I train him as a SG. Teddy Titus can shift to PG while Lawrence Coyle shifts to SF while this allows me to move Netos Digkas, a player whom I think I overpaid at the time.

I can train him as a Forward as well by getting his shooting up and working on his inside skills at Forward. He definitely won't be seeing a whole lot of starter minutes for league matchups right now but being 6'8" I can rotate him between the Guard and Forward spots.

I've got another PG that has 6th Man potential and he comes with decent skills to start out with.

Forgot to mention. Didn't spend a dime on scouting this year and landed an MVP Point Guard. Of course, that HOF SG was at the top of my liist too.

I think you should sell this guy. He looks nice with his MVP potential and good secondaries, but he's too tall to train as a guard, and his inside skills are pretty low that it would take much longer to train to a level you want than if you got a true big man trainee. You will probably find someone on the TL that sees this player and thinks the same thing you and wants to buy him for a pretty penny, but in my opinion he is just a distraction.
