So, I've got this guy that I've been training for a couple of seasons.

Weekly salary: $ 9 606
Age: 21
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: perennial allstar

Jump Shot: proficient | Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: strong | Handling: proficient
Driving: prominent | Passing: strong
Inside Shot: proficient | Inside Def.: prominent
Rebounding: proficient | Shot Blocking: respectable

Nothing incredible, I know, but considering I drafted him at 19, I'm pretty satisfied with his progress. Now, this guy's gonna be a PF (or an extremely LI-oriented SF, if you will, but that's basically a PF too :P)

The thing is, looking at how balanced his stats are, a friend suggested that I should consider selling him. I'm ambivalent. Last season and like 5 pops ago, the game projected him to sell as high as 600k, but I've always pictured him as a starter-in-the-making for my team. He will probably be ready* at the end of this season or early in the next and it's not like I'm shooting for the playoffs or anything this year. What do you guys think? Should I keep him and reap the benefits of having a home grown key player, or could I perhaps fetch whatever sum he commands and use that to build up my squad?

edit: *I meant he'll be ready to start some games at that point, the plan is to continue training him until he's capped basically

Woops, sorry, I removed that part of the post. I actually knew that, but went brain-dead for a minute there.

Thanks for the advice!

I'd definitely recommend keeping him as well. If you have or could create another similar player, you could have two extremely monstrous players for a Princeton offense - or of course really well-rounded players for any other offense as well.

That would be awesome, but it's a looooong-term plan. Even after this guy breaks into the starting lineup, I'll need to keep training him for some time till he caps out. I'll definitely look for another prospect or two to play in scrimmages at PF/C so they can get some free stats while this guy gets capped off, yeah ;)

Wow. That guy's the result of some dedicated training. Way to get his guard skills up. He'll be a tough player you'll be able to play in all forward spots if you keep training him in this balanced fashion until he's capped. Heck, even way before he's capped he's going to be a beast. I'd for sure keep him, unless you for some reason can't keep training him.

I like ur player! how i wish i had one, so don't sell him. He is a jack-of-all-trade type of player.

Keep him. This guy could be very good.

You have worked to hard to get this guy looking like this. ...I would drop him in the 3 spot right now. He would be abusive on that spot. ... bully guards and shoot over PF/Cs.
KEEP HIM!
Shhhh. ....pm me of you are going to sell him, name your price. :)

I've got a similar player listed as a PF. How would you guys suggest finishing up his training?

Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: average

I'd train PA to 9, a lot of JS to make it 14 with like 9 JR, some 1v1 to make DR 14 too, and IS to 14. Some more OD so it's 14 too, and then finish off with RB to make it around 10. You'll have a great inside SF. That's what I'd do:

14/9
14/9
14/9
14/12
10/9
