Driving: awful Passing: inept
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable

Holy crap, that's awesome!!!

Nice player. Your biggest worry (after fouling tendency, can't remember if you mentioned that) will be training him so that you don't send his salary through the roof.

Which, all in all, is a very nice problem to have.

He's got a National Team Advertisement on his player page, so I'd kind of like to give him a shot at that if I can, although I'm not exactly sure what the best way to do that would be. I also got the 7'0" guy so I'll be training him as well.

I'd start with 1on1 for forwards, then some passing and finalize with inside training. Inside skills will train very very very fast. Definately a candidate for the U-21. Remember to play with potential calculators to find the skill set you want.

A few pops of OD as well and this could end up being a monster PF (though that may or may not mesh with U21 goals). But this is an awesome draftee in any event!

Don't judge the player by a national team advertisement, in most contries just about every 18 year old with modest skill and potential gets one of those.

PF with atrocious Jump Shot? I think the atrocious jumpshot relegates him to a life as a center. OD on your center is never a bad thing though. Unfortunately I also think superstar potential is too low to be a big man candidate for the national team. He will still be a U-21 candidate though and will defeinitely be the cornerstone of your franchise if you keep him and train him up. Good luck!

wow. talk about being good at draft and with a little luck, very very nice. increase the PA to at least 7, maybe some HA pops, then all inside skills. Good luck and hope you can mold him to an excellent player.

If he stayed at atrocious JS forever, yes, that would probably be right. But between 1v1 training weeks and maybe mixing in some JS weeks later in his career, getting that JS to a better value is far from impossible. It's certainly easier than trying to raise an atrocious OD.
