In my team news I see the following
The Blue Stars is celebrating the appointment of Johnnie Chamberlain (10589984) to the United States National Team.
What exactly does this mean. Does it affect my training ? He was a new draft pick and looks pretty good (?) but I am not sure what exactly I need to do if anything.

Just a side note Chamberlain is an awesome pick for 15th in the draft are u going to keep him to train or make a tonne of cash selling him?

I am not sure what to do - do you think he would be a better small forward ( I think so) or a shooting guard. I need a good small forward as my sf is getting old at 33. And I would love to have some training routine that you thought was good - I was thinking of starting with js because that would apply to both sg and sf. I am really not sure "exactly" what skills make a good sf.

to reach good results with training SF he needs to be good at almost everything

the best thing to do is training him as a guard when you train JS, JR, pressure and other guard skiils, and as a forward when you train rebound, IS and other forward skills
dont train more than 2 positions, he will train too slow

i train guards, mainly point guards, it's recomended to train pressure, passing and one on one (the fastest progress training for me).
every once in a while work on his shooting, even thogh one on one works on both inside and outside shooting (quite slowly but still)

hope i've been helpful

Well you have in u r hands a diamond, who can be a great player. In my opinion focus your training on him, as a PG/SG. Trying to train inside skills on a such short player is painful slow. I have the experience. Anyway shooting for me and OD are the 1st skills to train, but i am big men trainer, so maybe i am mistaken. That guy can bring you at least 1mill, and if you train some 1 position training, after 1 year double that money

Thank you for your replies - I have some serious planning to do - I think I will train him in js first pop - then one on one for next pop - and then evaluate - if this is not appropriate I am still open to massive amounts of help.

sounds like a good idea, rotate the skills. hope you have more players you could train as guards or sf... if not suggest you buy one or a few. you can train 6 players a week, but more common is 4 or 5. In single position you train only 3 players, which is possible too. depends on what your time is like and what ideas you have on where to go with your team...
