Yeah, like BB_champ said, as this point, those managers who do train already have their fixed trainees (probably), and our potential future players could simply end up in a team that'll just go bot without doing much.

I agree with tier 2 players but the really special players can still find a home, I noticed a Barbados 18 year old going for nearly $2,000,000 - someone is obviously planning to make something special out of him.

Ok so I am just looking for the best 2. It comes down to these guys.

Alokendra Balakrishnan (21214967)

Cittanatha Kumar (20864593)

Age: 18
Height: 6'0" / 183 cm

Dineshchandra Saidullah (20864587)
Power Forward

Age: 18
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: perennial allstar

I agree that Draksaramesvar has too many Atrocious skills so he is out. Vihang's passing is a worry but you have to love MVP potential. The other three are unknown. We could save them and find out that they are horrible. My actual gut feeling is to go with Cittanatha out of them just beacuse at 6'0" he will train the fastest, important for someone who is already 18 1/3 and he has the second highest starting wage of all five.

So that is my current inclination. Save Cittanatha Kumar and Vihang Singh.

Cittanatha Kumar has a nice starting salary, so we could expect his skills to be pretty solid, but it could be that the most important skills are just at respectables and all at very low levels.
But I think we could go with Vihang Singh and Cittanatha Kumar.

Vihang needs to be saved...he has high potential and god knows if he finds a good trainer then he will be a killer in a few seasons....
now of the 3 unknowns,all of them are nice looking players with height more or less perfect for their respective position.....i dont think saving kumar will be of much help considering that he has low potential and moreover i think that we need to save some big men rather than guards....
i think we should save one amongst balakrishnan or saidulla.....but saving balakrishnan wont be a good save considering he is a SF and i dont think he will be a good SF....i think he would be having a bit too many holes...
so i suggest to save singh and saidullah

Awesome, I will have a second look at Saidullah. As for allstar potential being an issue, you should be able to get to about double the salary of the best player on our entire team this season so I don't think it is a huge issue. However the better coaches like the higher potentials and they sell for more and are more likely to be trained properly.

Looks like we are all agreed on V. Singh at least!

Well both BBchamp and Samurai_Tungi have said to save Dineshchandra Saidullah so I have gone with that and saved Vihang Singh and Dineshchandra Saidullah. They should be for sale on monday.

He also has more atrocious that I would like but at least all primaries are ok and the JS is nice as is the stamina and free throws. He will need a mentor too. Any takers?

my vote to Vihang Singh. I would not save Cittanatha Kumar because of potential, a serious trainer would NOT look at that potential so it would be likely to have him bought by somebody not good at training.You also have the risk of low PA. Better Saidullah, tall man with some secondary (better than Singh than).

Well I did end up saving the guys you suggested.

Vihang is for sale now with a tpe of $400-800,000. Looks like a great prospect for a SG. 18, 6'0" MVP. A pity about the passing.

Saidullah is less good, he has a tpe of only $ 50 000 to $ 180 000. But we just need to hope a good big man trainer picks him up.

Looks like Vihang went to a manager that will train him. Great news! That team now has 4 young prospects though, so maybe he won't be kept long term.

Well the manager has already contacted me and he sounds like he will do a great job. He has a plan in mind and wants to make him a defensive gun! Sounds teriffic. We could have done with a second stopper this season.
