I need help on a lot of things. Well let's start with #1.

#1 Sell or Wait?
So I have this 6'4 PF. He started out great, but for the past few games his numbers dropped. He wen't from roughly 22 ppg, 11 rpg, 3 bpg to something like 15 ppg, 9 rpg, 1 bpg. He has also gone cold in shooting going 5-15 in one game and 6-16 in another. This happened after I changed my team tactics. HOWEVER, The tactics highly benefited my other players. Should I sell him starting at 150k or just play him?

#2 Training my youngsters
I have two big men, both PFs but I play one as a center. The PF is 22 years old with All-Star potential (not too great but still young). I gave him playing time last scrimmage because my PF was injured (the guy above) and he had 15 pts, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 blocks. Not bad for a 22 yr old with 4.5k salary. And I have a center. I've recently added him to the starting line up because he has been playing incredibly. He is 19 years old with star potential. He has been averaging 4.8 Pts, 11.6 rebounds in 25.4 minutes. In his one start because my starter was injured he had 6 Pts, 18 rebounds, 3 Assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks in just 34 minutes. Which one's should I train more? I want to just train one heavily.

#3 Investing in Arenas
I have a little bit of money stashed up in my BuzzerBeater bank ($250k) and I'm deciding on whether to invest in my Arena or buy another player.

Okay first of all I have a question.. Why would you ask us for our opinion on whether to keep or sell your player, when you have already had him on the transfer market for over a day? O.o That just seems silly to me, since you have clearly already made your decision. As for questions 2 and 3 though:

2) Obviously you should train the 19 year old 7 footer over the 22 year old, but in my personal opinion you should look at drafting a better trainee or buying one at the beginning of next season because training a star 20 year old isn't the best way to make a living. Look for a big man with at least P. Allstar potential (Or 4 potential balls in the draft) and try to base your team around that player while training him.

3) I would not do anything with your money right now and instead keep it for the beginning of next season so you can see if you drafted any good rookies. Then if you didn't, you could buy one and then use the rest of the money on your arena. Just my opinion though.

Your 6'4" PF also has very poor game shape that is more than likely the difference in his shooting.
