You can see he is 7 foot 1. That is WAY to tall for a SG. You might want to train him as a big, or drop him. I would not drop superstar potential, even if he is 19.

I do love Avalanches

I'd train him as a PF/C. You'll need to work on his inside skills (mainly IS and ID for now, but SB and RB need to increase too, at some point) for quite a while.

The good news is that his outside skills are pretty good (except for the passing). You might use him without ever training his outside skills and he'd still have decent outside skills, and with some JS/1on1 for Forwards training he'll be golden.

Do I have enough time to train him? He's 19 after all... If I do train him with an advanced trainer, how good could he possibly be?

I would drop. Too many holes.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

He's a superstar, not an MVP or even Alltime Great. I trained a (18-year old) superstar C to the cap until he was 23. Your guy could probably be trained until he's 25 and he'd be finished then at latest. Quite likely even earlier, as I spent considerable time training my guys some measly B-skills.

Sooo, he's not worth training because of his age right? One more question, is it possible to train this 22 year old? Is he worth training? And if not, is he worth any money if I sell him. Trying to get him to be a small forward...

Before you train that 21yo SF wreck, train your PF prospect - he'll be better in a season already.
