If he was home-drafted.... would be the only reason to keep him and train him this season. He needs a lot of 1v1 Forwards to work on his driving, handling, and scoring abilities... his passing is also low. So if those fit into training plans of your (presumably better) other trainees. Sure hang onto him, sell him next season, or as playoffs begin kinda thing. But if he's not home drafted... Guy's a waste of time completely.

It'd be a small profit overall to keep him the whole season to train. Any way you look at it.

Keep him until you find a replacement, assuming you can afford to place him on the roster verse poor opponents and/or scrimmages within your current setup at PG.

He is not worth training long term, but a lot of people will take on folks behind in pops who have at least the OD and PA up to standards. Therefore, while your looking for a better player, why not maximize PA training and hope to get to 6 or so. I wouldn't bother short term on DR/HA unless you can only afford to two position train him.

He has 46 skill points (add all areas except stamina/ft), which is roughly what an 18 year old that you'd look to train would start as. It means he's roughly 13-14 pops behind. Add to that the fact that someone would eventually want to correct that FT prior to him capping, and you're looking probably until age 23 to get him to a D.III level. That is why i think most are suggesting that he is simply too low down to consider developing.

What about this trainee?? I know he needs some offense but i want a Monster defensive point guard.
