Hey Guys, I am trying to figure out my team for next season, I got these three draftees, and I am thinking that I should train the third one, and sell the other two. Im not sure how much I can get for them. Maybe the 6'10 player can get me a little cash because he is tall buy has good 'small' skills. Let me know your advice, if any of these guys are even trainable to begin with ;) Thank you

Yeah Im training this guy to be a small forward. So you agree with selling the other two trainees. Maybe Ill try and pick up someone on the transfer market to train as well? Thanks for your help Manon!

or maybe I should buy a new trainee?

If you're training the guy you mentioned as a small forward, then you need to get in some Pressure training (pehaps 1 position perssure training at PG?) to get his OD up. OD is the skill that it takes longest to train, and it takes even longer as your player gets older. Along with Pressure, try some 1 on 1 training to improve driving, handling, and Jump Shot. Both those trainings would also be great for your new trainee.

What do you guys say? is this kid good enough for being pert of my training regime? the pitiful jumpshot? too low?

Hmmm...if you want to really train him, I'd think that a least a season of JS training is needed. Then think about whether you want him to be a PG or SG or SF. I'd think that he'll be a good SF though, if trained properly. But you'll need to single position train him (not JS, as there is no single position training).

You can train him if he is your draft pick and you are really keen. But you can get a much better player for less than $100,000 that will help your team in both the long and short terms.

thanks for the replys guys, much appreciated! but i sold him, didnt fit in with the team, got in a fight with my key player the first practice ;)
