Hi guys,

I'm new to BB and was wondering what One on One training would benefit my forwards?
I have 2 18 year old trainees, who I plan to make PF and C.

So should I train them one on one or better train them for inside skills ?

Thanks guys

Well we can't see their skills, so it is kind of hard to give training advice but 1v1 for forwards trains Jump Shot, Handling, Driving and Inside Shot so I personally find it very useful. However, since you are training two big guys (6'10" and 7'2") I would recommend training their inside skills first, unless they have very bad secondaries.

Thanks for the advice.Well their secondary skills are not so high but I guess I will train their inside skills first.

I would consider training their secondaries first. You aren't in any threat of demoting leagues so build them to be great for your team's long haul. By working on their primaries first their salaries will rise faster. When their salaries inflate, and they take up a larger percentage of your team payroll it will be difficult to play them out of position since your team is paying so much to them to be post guys. Don't be afraid to spend this season training passing and one on one forwards. You can delay their inside training for a year or even two and still make them great big men. Just more round and lethal. It is a longer process but you will be creating guys you couldn't afford to sell.

Here's one of them:
Weekly salary: $ 3 093
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 7200
Age: 18
Height: 7'2" / 218 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: mediocre
Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: average Handling: respectable
Driving: inept Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: awful Free Throw: mediocre ↑
   
Experience: atrocious

He's a nice looking trainee but you wont like the atrocious passing when you are ready to promote. Passing pops fast no matter the height. Try to at least get him to mediocre passing. His outside defense is a bonus for a guy his height. If you were able to train one on one forwards for a season and then passing for a season he would have a really nice foundation for a great center. You would get a couple pops on inside shot in the meantime. You could attack his inside skills at age 20 and still have no problem capping him at age 24 or 25. Great trainee.

I would consider one on one guards. and training passing.

Add a few more trainees to train with them.

Very good roster to start with! Great trainees!

If I remember correctly, 1 on 1 Guards only gives a very small bump in JS over 1 on 1 Forwards, but Guards doesn't train IS at all. Forwards is the more efficient in my opinion.

If I were you, I would rotate 1 on 1F`s(you need the high handles and driving for the passing elastic plus the IS work) and then SB(it will train the rebounding and ID plus pitiful SB needs work ASAP)....and then passing.

Maybe like this:
This Friday....what ever you have planned because it is already Thursday
next Friday....passing(just to get it off level 1)
July 12th......SB
July 19th..... 1 on 1 Fs
July 26th......Passing
August 2nd....Rebounding...All Star week...only two games
August 9th....1 on 1 Fs
August 16th...SB
August 23rd...passing
August 30th...JR(this is because I hate atrocious')
September 4th....last training of regular season...I would do a ID training to clean up the sub levels in ID from the SB training.....Offseason I would hit his ID until Strong
In my opinion, this will put bandaids on some of the holes and get you a decent 19 yr with a good base.
In fact, I have a player that looks just like yours coming into the Nippon U-21 teams next season(MVP and 7)
This is what he could look like with at least a level 4 trainer and good starting sub levels

Jump Shot: inept Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: average Handling: strong
Driving: average Passing: awful
Inside Shot: strong Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: awful Free Throw: mediocre

That looks like a great plan.

Thanks for all the advice guys! Appreciate it!
