Who got the best trainees on their starting team? I am very pleased with my starting team having two excellent young trainees.

Raimund Lagler (33405137)
Small Forward
Weekly salary: $ 3 654
Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: pitiful
Driving: respectable Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: inept Free Throw: respectable

Not only is he 18 with reasonable potential, a great spread of skills and the height to be trained to be a multiskilled player, but he actually has the highest starting salary on my entire team. It doesn't end there for the Greybeards...

Scott Epstein (33405135)
Small Forward
Weekly salary: $ 3 079
Age: 19
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: superstar
Jump Shot: average Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: average
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: respectable

Second youngest player on my team, third best salary, great potential, mostly a good spread of skills and also a flexible height making him a perfect training partner for Raimund. If the Greybeards ever make the UBBL expect these two to be my stars.

My best trainee:

Naser Abdel (33404694) Bookmark this player Shooting Guard

Yeah. Let's just say I was unimpressed when I saw my team. This could be a long haul...

The good thing is tier two trainees are a dime a dozen these days. If you waste your time training a tier seventeen trainee like Naser I wil be stunned.

Haha, no I won't train him, he'll probably be fired by mid-season. I have noone in my team who is remotely trainable or sellable.

Makes it more of a challenge I guess ;). But my plan was always for a slow build rather than instant success, so its not too big of a concern.

He is nice but ouch those three atrocious skills are in really ugly places, looks like he is a C or nothing.

My best trainee (well, least turdtastic) :

Cecil Ellis (33409673) Small Forward
Owner: Understudies to the Benchwarmer
Weekly salary: $ 1 902
DMI: 5800
Age: 19
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: star


I won't bother listing his skills, suffice it to say that his low salary and DMI is, in his case, still much more than he deserves. Other than that, nobody above starter potential under the age of 25. Yay?

Vanja Mitrović
