George Burcham

Is there any downside to changing a player role of this player in their senior year? Player has been a bench PF for 3 years but due to both centers being seniors and a poor first attempt at recruiting, I'm thinking I may need to start him at C next season.

I'm expecting a rebuild season because my non-senior players are mostly garbage, luckily my conference isn't tough.

There’s no harm changing positions, also there would be no harm starting him a a C even with his listed position as PF

No downside. Start your best players (or alternatively, start the players with the most growth, if you choose to play for the future and have the players to reasonably make that play). Or mix it up. Sometimes upperclassmen will complain and lose work ethic if they go the other way, if their PT drops. But that doesn’t really hurt in most cases, since upperclassmen are usually developed in important areas anyway, if you’ve managed their growth well for the first couple seasons. So basically don’t worry about moving guys in and out of the lineup throughout their careers.
