Hey guys,

So I used to play BB a few years ago and decided recently to get back into playing but this time take it a little more seriously than I have previously. I'm a manager from Ireland and I've drafted an 18yr old MVP SF. The problem is that he is 7ft tall and I'm not sure if that's going to have an impact on him being a SF. I guess I'm just looking for guidance on what to do with a player such as this. I'm not sure if I'm allowed post the stats for the player here or anything so I'll refrain from doing so right now.

Any help is appreciated,

Tom.

edit: So I've looked at some other threads and people seem to be posting stats of players so said I might as well also post his stats.

Weekly salary: $ 2 991

If you want to keep him, give him 1-on-1 training (forwards) for 1-2 seasons. Add some other young players (like 3-5) to this training rotation and sell 2-5 of them for a decent profit before you switch to inside training.

His TSP is pretty low and his inside skills are not that good, however his outside skills are good enough to make him a servicable big down the road.

So what you're saying is to train his outside game for 1-2 seasons and try bring in some other young forwards, try develop them and then after those few seasons flip some of them for a profit and start training my MVP on the inside and start playing/training him as more of a PF/C then a SF?

Thanks for your help.
