ive just bought this player for $1.7mil (a lot i know) and i wondered what would be best way to train him. Here are his current stats:

Weekly salary: $ 21 714

Age: 22
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: superstar

Jump Shot: prolific ↑ Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: prominent Handling: prodigious ↑
Driving: stupendous Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: proficient Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: atrocious Free Throw: awful

Experience: awful

I know he is 22 already but i think he has a great start for skills to build from for a balanced SF/PF.

I was thinking of making him look something like this:

Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: prolific
Outside Def.: marvelous Handling: prodigious
Driving: stupendous Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: wondrous
Rebounding: sensational Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: atrocious Free Throw: awful

this would give him a salary of $81k (according to buzzer manager salary estimator)

Any other suggestions how how to train him will be great

I prefer more passing on my SF's. Maybe sensational? But other than that, looks good.


Oh and I honestly don't think you overpaid at all. He's only 22, so you'll get to enjoy his talent for a long time. I would kill for a player like that. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I thought that prominent passing would be enough a she already has prominent passing but ive had a look and sensational passing still keeps him under his cap

I would give the first one definitely some range, that would make a weapon out of him ...

Great player. He desperately needs defense. For a SF, do OD first, since he's tall, then do ID. Then get him some RB and use what cap/salary you have left on passing.

But I'd go the PF route with him, if you're not locked into another training plan, because you'll have a maxed out player 2+ seasons earlier. Train his IS/ID/RB all up to 15 and he's a dangerous, high skilled PF for a good price before he turns 26. Otherwise you're training him until he's almost 28. At that point your trainer salary is probably better spent on younger players.

I wanted some JR on him even at PF because i want him to be very effective in outside offences. I was planning on doing OD and JR first then moving to the inside skills

okay ... my mistake. But Range is a must and defense is something you can´t have enough

Well, if you want JR, too, you definitely can't make him a SF. Your proposed SF build with the JR ins't feasible when you take into account his height and age.

Your best route is to make him a PF. If you really want him to be an outside offense PF, just do Outside Shooting first to get his JR up before you get his inside skills up to what you want. But I would consider building him for an inside (or at least balanced) offense since his IS is already 14 and that (expensive) skill will be wasted in an outside offense. It would be easy to build him as the scoring half of a twin towers duo. Just jack up his ID and IS and find a center with high ID/RB to compensate for your PF's low RB. And while you're training him at IS, you can get plenty of IS on a SF and/or guard trainee.

I dont mind if he becomes a SF or PF, i just want a player that is going to fit both inside and outside offences and be able to defend his position, what would be the best skill set for him for that?

Well, you've got to think about what kind of defense he'll be shooting over. If he's a PF, most PF's don't have a whole lot of OD. So you don't need a whole lot of JS/JR to be successful against them. If you're looking for range as a versatility skill, not a dominance skill, I think you'd be fine with 8+ JR. And the beastly JS will already help. But since his other offensive skills (JS/HA/DR/PA/IS) are all already so high, he's not often going to think a 3FG is his best shot.
