The japanese guy's stats look a bit like my guy, he was a better scorer (not by much) and had marginally better steals, but in his best seasons he had significantly fewer boards, fewer assists and significantly fewer blocks than my kid. Note that I played my guy out of position even last season and this season is the first time he's only played either C or PF (hence the bump in some stats).
Besides he played in a micronation through most of his peak years in what looks like a farm team (1 top player and several D2-D3 level players) and he had better potential than my guy.
You don't need C position players and they don't have value that much in the top end.
Good teams will usually not use a player listed as a PF.
look, apart from the incoherence here, it's not for me to convince you. My kid has very high PA and high OD, high enough to guard most top end PFs and be effective at passing against top end PFs. He's listed at C because his inside skills are extremely high. When I gave you the totals, I used the + because I don't want to give the exact numbers, but they are higher. And beside good luck defending a guy with 15 DR, 19 IS, 17 RB with a PF with relatively low ID and RB. Yeah you might manage to get a couple of steals, but you will get butchered on the block and destroyed on the boards. A lot of PFs have stupidly high amounts of JS, which just kills your salary and your cap, punt 1 inside skill and have a low or relatively low second inside.
I went and checked the TL. The top 2 big men on the list (by TSP) have 134 and...55 and 52 inside skills respectively. Of course there are also exactly 0 C with 120+ TSP on the market.
If I use the same trainee, and the same training plan as you, but I use an L7 and you use an L4, I am going to have 15-25 more skill pops after 10 seasons and if we play eachother even with all other factors I will win.
It's like saying that my guy, could have, say, 73 inside skills, he could not. He's fully capped and the only things you could have improved are outside skills. Outside skills also count towards the cap and he has OD and PA in abundance already.
So, no, first and foremost you have to clarify that you are talking only about HoF and ATG potential players and for guard or forward positions. And second according to Coach Parrot the difference is not even close to 15-25 TSP. Even assuming it's 10%, I've added 70-75 pops, so an extra 10% (according to coach parrot is even less than that) training would have lead to 77-83, 7-8 extra pops. Your extra 25 TSP on 75 pops is +33% speed which is, obviously, completely unrealistic
