Agreed, most 18 year olds are now worthless. The market is flooded with 70+ TSP 19 year olds, plus they can start with 9-10 in difficult to train skills (e.g IS/ID for a guard, OD for a big).

No I am saying that 18 year olds are pointless now, 19 year olds are far superior. If proficient was the top potential skill cap it would still be 19 year olds but prominent is a joke.

Statements of this kind...Do i know anything about BB? Maybe i know nothing about players and players development in BB.

No, I take part in building the best players in the world for Israeli teams and for the Israeli NT.


I did say most. Yes if you are trying to train an elite player to play in B3 ten seasons from now then you are likely going to want one of the handful of 18 year old 50+ TSP HOF guys. Maybe a handful of high TSP players will be valuable for U21 farms as well.

But for normal teams doing normal training (the majority of BB) I still believe there's little point to them. Just buy the 19 year old 70 TSP version and save yourself the time and cost of a season of training.

It's great that certain peeps still prefer 18 year olds but the majority of teams, managers and players are not D1, B3 or NT. This could hurt 18 year old prospects long term in general as people will prefer 19 year olds more now over 18 year olds, They are cheaper to train and have a bigger impact when initially drafted.

The elastics you talk of only really mean something for the very tip top potential players right? Your 7/8 potential player being 19 now means a lot more imo as you are effectively half a season ahead in training in a lot of cases and need a YT half as long saving you a few hundred thousand.
