You HAVE to train him one position

Very nice player.
I would personally get every single skill up to Strong before doing anything else. But this is just a personal preference.

Do one position. Do you want him to be a SG, or a SF? That decision should be made soon. I'd make him a SF, but it depends on what your other trainees are like.

I'd just train him wherever, depending on what everyone else needs, and put more emphasis on outside skills if you want to run a fast-paced perimeter offense, and more on inside skills if you want to run Low Post or Look Inside.

First of all this player had to be an SF, maybe even a PF but making him an SG with this size will hurt :)

Training SF could be achieved through many different ways, because you nearly need every skill to make him a good player, so independ what you train it would be useful :) But it isn't always easy to find the right balance with the training, a bit specialisation isn't bad(making is outside Attack stronger then the inside or the opposite is ok, but overall he should be balanced).

I would consider the other trainees you got into the training plans, i because it isn't easy to train 3 SF at a time and if you had a guard trainee wouldn't gain that much from Inside Defence training etc. So you could train maybe one season Guards, sell your guard trainees and buy some Inside ones and switch training like that.

I'm waiting for the next draft so I dont have other trainees or want to buy some, therefor I can focuse my training on him for the next few weeks.

how expensive in terms of salary are the skill ups? I found a list with the average time for a skill up and will try to train the skills which take more time first. but I'm trying to keep the salary low for a few seasons. is there a way to achieve that? (for example: I think that OD is less expessive than jump range am I right?)

also: is it correct that JS is more important than JR for his offense if I want him to become an outside scorer? and if he is focusing on outside shooting will he need inside offensive skills above 7/8?

and finally how important is driving, rebound, block and ball handling, would you try to train this skills?

thanks a lot

The price of a skill-up depends on the skill level and the player's position.

You can play around a bit on this site:

(http://www.how8.com/bb/index.php)

E.g. skillups in Jump Shot, Jump Range and Passing don't cost any salary as long as the player is still listed as a Center.

depends on the position, i could send you a link to an excel sheet with the salary formulas for the different position this evening night if you wish, but i wouldn't expect big jumps in salary in the first season anyway :)

you could train three guys, and personally i think you should use it. maybe you could trade a bit with skill up's from 7 to 8/9, which mostly look good at the transferlist and makes you still pretty flexible in training.

also: is it correct that JS is more important than JR for his offense if I want him to become an outside scorer?

yeah JS is more important then JR for his offense especially at Sf, but even at the guard positions i rate JS a bit higher then JR. But you train JS in a lot of training(especially one vs one), so single position JR training would be my favorite choiche for the beginning.

and if he is focusing on outside shooting will he need inside offensive skills above 7/8?

Difficult question :) Additional inside attack will help him on offense even when playing outside attack, but the shooting skills should be more effective training for his offense performance, but IS is maybe the better choiche for salary.
Maybe you could push it a bit with one on one training, which is in my eyes a very effective training for forwards because it trains IS, Jumpshot, Handling at a decent rate and off course driving(i am not a big fan of the skill, but i like the training curious isn't it^^)

He needs much more tha 7 or 8 in IS,also if he is an outside oriented Sf,the minimum in my opinion is10,but it would be better if he improves till 12-13-14

Avooid to train shot blocking,rebound depends on which kind of Sf do you wan to build,for an outside SF it would be good 8-9,for a balanced SF 10-11,for an inside Sf 12-13,train driving and handling when your player will became much more older,because 1vs1 is a fast training,your player doesn't have problems in driving/handling and these skills grows as secondaries for almost all the training that you have to do in the primary skills for him

He needs much more tha 7 or 8 in IS,also if he is an outside oriented Sf,the minimum in my opinion is10,but it would be better if he improves till 12-13-14

short question, should the IS shot should be higher then ID, JS, JR, OD, RB and passing(you could name just a few of them, maybe with numbers), because i can not imagine how you will design him without all time great potential ;)

Ok you named rebound, but why is IS more important then rebound when playing outside tactics?
