Ofcourse I would not be happy if he had 4 atrocious skills.
Try to understand once again. If there are ONLY 2 players you could choose from.
I would take the guy (height 7'0) with respectable outside skills and atrocious inside skills. Rather than respectable inside skills and atrocious outside skills. Ofcourse none would be happy with 4 atrocious skills, but if you had to make a choise between these 2 players, the choise would be obvious for me.
It would have to be a really special player that would get a backup spot in my team. So basically draftees get their training at cup/scrimmage anyway. He does not have to start contributing right away.

I agree partly with LA-Kukoc. I would rather draft a player (with a high potential) of 7,5" with 6 x respectable on the outside skills and 4x inept on the inside skills than drafting a 7,5" with 4x inept + 2x respectable on the outside skills and 4x respectable on the inside skills. Simply because the latter skills train much faster, and in the end the player will be better than the other player.

However you should take into account that this way of thinking is better when you will be owning + training a player for a long time.
