Just got this guy off the TL for 50k, and I want him to be a Small Forward, but I don't know where to begin.

Outside defense, jump shot or driving. Those are key attributes for a small forward.

No that is not what key attributes are for a SF.
A small Forward needs a bit of everything.
I think that when he is finished he should be 15 JS,11 JR.
To get him some defense, train his OD until about 16 and ID until it is 13.

For 2 reasons this player cant become a good SF:his potential and atrocious driving
So it is waste of time to train this player for many seasons even if you want to make him a PF

The best idea is to train him inside shot,inside def,shot blocking and driving until the percentage of selling raises up and then to sell him to make a profit

If you want to make a great SF,his potential must be at least perennial allstar

Take a look a player that i train and he can become a great SF

He can be allright ,but great I don't think so,he needs a lot work and his defence is not that good.
Better start training his OD and don't wait to long,with his height it takes a lot of time.

I think you should train this player as a PF.
His outside skills are to low ,and OD will train very slow.
Train his IS up to 10 ,and after that ID,there will be elastic effect and ID should train faster.

For his potential, I would only add to IS (and maybe SB) for inside skills. Start with some 1v1 forwards to help fix the driving and handling. Then a whole bunch of OD (shoot for 10-12). Toss in just a little JR (8-9), some JS (11-12), and a bit of passing (10-11), and you should have a decent SF for D III. I haven't plugged that in to a potential calcualtor, so I don't know if it's possible, but it sounds like it's in the ballpark of a star potential player.

I had the same idea with you to train him as PF but an other experienced person (he is in Nt team) said me to train him first outside skills until 21...My point is to get as much money as i can when i will sell him so his idea sounds attractive


Both ideas for this player is right...depends on in which position you want him to be more useful and in which categories..

This player can be perfect for a PF,you can train his OD first to 8,then IS and later ID.
When that is done just train rebounds/ some JS and you will have a multiskilled PF.
SF will take way too long and he is almost 20/ and his height,you need 13/14 OD and 11/12 ID.
To train a SF ,you need a trainee who has a complete skillset,because training a SF is a very long road..
