Malice has experience now with Walesso he could be a great candidate.
Malice I don't think height needs to be a problem depending on the players skillset. 7'0" PG? Great a big man who can really pass the rock. It is a lot faster to train ID on a 7'0" guy than passing. However if his (future) primaries are too low then it is a problem.
I definitely keep an open mind to positions - always have done. Simply, there have been no big guys (and I now look at 6'9" or over as being "big") with Superstar or better potential available to me. And perhaps I'm being selfish, but after my experience with Kuwabara, I'm not going to scrimp on my team development. I have 3 very good trainees: 1 20yo, and 2x 19yo. I'll train this season, maybe sell one at the end. Dunno.
On U21 team... I've made a commitment to Wales, and I don't think I'll have finished that at the end of the next season. I'm enjoying it a lot.
Toranaga... how about you?
