I have my own ideas but I was curious to get other peoples perspectives on these two PG/SG prospects I have been contemplating trying to recruit.  Assume IQs are of equal ability

PLAYER 1: 
420 rating-4 years Eligibility
53 Work Ethic-2.3 GPA

Ath-37 Low
Spd-59 High
Reb-1 High
Def-37 Avg
SB-1 Avg
LP-1 Low
Per-17 Avg
BH-37 High
Pass-55 Avg
Sta-74 Avg
Dur-48 High
FT-76% Avg

Pretty good work ethic, and should be able to reach all of his potential, however his ceiling is much lower than player 2 and he has a bad GPA (would be ineligible at D2/D1) which might severely limit his ability to pick up the offense. 

Player 2:
457 Rating-3 years Eligibility
21 Work Ethic-3.2 GPA

Ath-39 High
Spd-76 Low
Reb-1 Avg
Def-50 Avg
SB-1 Low
LP-1 Avg
Per-61 High
BH-58 High
Pass-32 High
Sta-64 High
Dur-53 High
FT-82% Low

Obviously player 2 has a higher ceiling in terms of potential, but he has a very low work ethic and 1 less year to reach his potential so who knows how close to it he will ever get.  However he is a good student so perhaps his IQ's will not be affected as much.  He will be able to shoot the lights out and score any way you want him to...should also be a very good ball handler and can play both PG and SG


Thoughts?  I don't have any great needs on my team this year as we have 5 guards and 5 bigs on the roster who are all fairly solid, so this is 100% about who is going to be the better player in a season or two..so the possibility exists that I could take both of them, see how it goes and just have to recruit an extra big next season. 

If you don't need help right away, I'd probably lean towards player 2 - he can get significant mins as a slashing / 3 pt-shooting guard in his first year, which will help boost his WE a bit. And after a year of you pumping a ton of practice time into his ATH + PASS, he'll be a better all-around guard than #1. I don't love his STA or his one less year to improve, and he'll probably never reach his full  potential, but he's still very solid.

(Caveat: I don't know if this is for D3 ( I assume it is), and I don't know your off / def.)
