so it was not worth it at all? i was just thinking at the time that it would be easy to train him coz he was only 19 and a hall of famer potential...

Potential does not improve the speed that the player is training. It only means that he will slow down his training at a later salary cap. For example is it said that an all star player has his salary cap somewhere around 150000 or so if I remember things correctly.

To pay too much due to the potential seems to be a very frequent mistake. It will take you probably 5 seasons until his potential really will be valuable and at that time he will train very slow as he is already 19 and not well trained as well so almost like buying an at the moment average player that is 20 years old.

he's a well balanced player with high potential but as others said potantial can be misleading and kinda overrrated. I am sorry but it seems you payed way much to this player, but since you can't sell him for your buying price (not even close) you better focus on training and get the best out of the guy.

edit: and if you are asking how to train him I recommend you to start with one on one.

Seriously you overpaid by about $560000. He is going to be 20 next season which is when you are going to be able to fully train him. He may be a good addition to your team but I do think you grossly overpaid for it.

Agree with you. And I would much rather train an 18 year old star potential player with that salary than an almost 20 years old Hall of famer. Such player costs very little after the draft been done. I could train the player to a $30k or so salary with a higher training speed as he is two years younger instead. Can't build up a very high quality player though but that will as well be difficult due to training improvement slowing down due to age with a 20 year old player.

Afraid you have overpaid to a very high extent. Best option might be to sell him and hope that someone else also misunderstand the value of his potential at such late age and with such low salary. Had he had better passing and inside shooting he could have compensated a rather low salary pretty well though but now you probably need to waste time with this to get a player that do not lack big weaknesses as a Small forward.

take it easy on the fellow dear mates,

dont worry mistakes like this makes you better, i would say try to develop him instead of selling him quick because surely you might sell him on a lower price and thats bad.

if your purpose is to train someone then continue on, i cant blame you but at least get your money back

Not that bad, but he only can be an SF, and he has some big holes on this skills like rebounding and passing mostly. In my opinion when u want to train an SF who is short then u start from the inside skills, couz younger player=developing faster. Then you can train his outside skills. (Shorter guys develops outside skills faster, and the opposite) I feel that height at least for the big men that i am training height maybe more important than age

A decent player that will be tricky to train. Small forward must be the best to train.

For me he is not possible to use a PG due to horrible passing. He is not reasonable as SG due to horrible jump range and passing as well as handling needs to be better. As SF he will not suffer as much from poor jump range and passing but it will stop him from ever being really good unless you decide to sacrifice a lot of training at him which I don't think you should. Can't be a center or power forward with atrocious rebounding.

Afraid that you will find it difficult to make him that good.
