Hey, got two players who I've been training and it doesn't make fiscal sense to keep both since they both play the same position. In your opinion, which one should I keep?

1:
Weekly salary: $ 9 402
DMI: 37800
Age: 21
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: inept Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: respectable
Driving: inept Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: proficient ↑ Inside Def.: prominent
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: strong
Stamina: average Free Throw: mediocre
Experience: atrocious

or 2:

Weekly salary: $ 13 082
DMI: 47000
Age: 24
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: respectable
Driving: strong Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: proficient ↑ Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: prominent Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: strong Free Throw: proficient
Experience: inept

Thanks for your input!

Well that kind of depends on what position you are using them for.
I haven't been playing long but personally I think you should keep the first player. They are both skilled (player 2 has a bit higher stats) but player 1 is a lot younger and so you could train him to be a lot better. Also the salary is less so it would save you money.

But its all dependant on where you are playing them and whether you want the better player, or the player who will be better in the long run.

Hope that helps.

Allright all you BBs and GMs tell me if I'm figuring this right:

I'd go with number one because although #2 has better all around numbers, they are not that much better than #1
and #1 is younger and at the same potential so he has more time to get even better.

EDIT:

Almost forgot. Considering their ages, I'd sell one or both of them and go looking for an 18 year old.

Note: I am not giving this as advice per se, but rather to see if the more experienced players out there think I am on the right track.

Age 24 is a pretty harsh penalty, I think.

maybe if he's in a national team and has high high potential and good height for his position then ok, he can and should be trained, but otherwise 24 is the age to sell

Any player at any age is still trainable but it is about what is the most efficient way to train. Using him in a non-trained position or selling him and getting a younger trainee who will train faster is more efficient.

Thanks for your opinions, it seems like player 1 is the better solution for the long-term. Just as a little more background on my situation, I train frontcourt players and I would love to keep both but I already have a great center so I have to choose between one of these players for my PF.

It looks like the plan for now should be to hold on to both until I lose in the tournament, then sell player 2 and keep player 1.
