I wouldnt, no way. Simply because of his potential. Personally, my minimum potential to train someone is Perennial Allstar. That way i know he will still turn out useful no matter what league im in. Lower leagues he will star, later on he can still be a bench player.

You can pick up 18yr old players at the moment, I wouldnt be wasting weeks of training with someone that you wont be able to use in a few seasons time. But other questions come into play, like what are your long term plans, what level trainer do you have, do you have any other trainees at the moment.

I've trained perennial allstar players who went on to become starters in top Pro leagues. You just have to balance their builds. I'd train an allstar if I drafted him, but I'd never rely on him to be more than a backup.

Superstar is the sweet spot for me. Once you cap out a superstar, you're at the peak of the transfer value bell curve. If you train beyond that (MVP, etc.) salary will rise to the point where TL value plummets. 18yo superstars are also much cheaper than MVPs and above. I gobble them up after the draft whenever I can.

Role players are trash, sorry. He'll barely be good enough to start in an IV league.

I'd go as low as star at guard, though better is naturally better. Still playing a couple of my original star trainees regular minutes to this day.
