69 TSP isn't bad, some deal breakers from my POV
1) He's never run 48+ all season.
2) His height puts him at a disadvantage for guard training.
3) His OD/ID are pretty soft for a 20yo.
3) Only completed 8 of 19 ASTs. Assist/TO ratio is 0.9.
3) Hasn't made a FT his entire career (marginal importance)
I have to give the trainer credit in that he got him when he was 19. You basically get a season and a half max training with this player for $350k. That seems a lot to ask for IMO for a player that will always be a season behind.
Some highlights for Sharkey are:
1) Only gave up 3 shots scored against him in 35 attempts (22 PP100)
2) Doesn't foul much. Only has 10 PFs in 178 mins. So I wouldn't classify him as aggressive.
IMO, it is more advantageous to get the Barbadian managers loading in max draft points and get them as much information as you can about draft strategy including scouting the 18yo's first so you can get the best potentials out of it.
An 18yo with SS potential or above is a better investment in the time and effort than this player. He'll likely never be much of a factor in U21 matches and isn't likely to make NT. That's not to say he should be cut, but if you're going to contact serious trainers, they either need a more realistic starting price or a younger/higher potential to work with. Great job keeping on top of all this BTW. Not meaning to sound like a buzzkill, just wanting to be real.
Judging by the minutes this season, it looks like Sharkey is no longer a priority. If you compare last seasons mins. to this season they are worlds apart. I can't say I blame him.
I was just contacted about an offer on my Bahamian trainee, Gale-Sewell, who is also no longer in a top training slot. He's sort of in the same boat as this player but about -10 TSP. I paid $290k for him as a 19yo/MVP save on the TL. I'm letting the interested manager make the offer though. If it sounds fair I'll probably take it. There's no expectation either way, he's decent enough to backup my non-training big spot and will receive the tail end of some 2 POS later this season if he stays. I imagine Sharkey may get the same.
