Righteo, so i received the below player in the Utopia Draft, and didnt spend a single $ , so whilst i was expecting to fire all of my draft picks (as i was expecting crap) im going to keep this bloke.

Can someone please tell me the following as i have never trained a player

1) What level trainer do i obtain? Advanced or higher?

2) What skill should i focus on? I am thinking of inside shot as his defense and shot blocking is good already.

His guard skills are not very good, so you should probably focus on making him a PF. Due to his PA potential, an advanced trainer should be fine, maybe a superior one if you can find a cheap one.

I would recommend focusing on 1v1 forwards, as that will train his handling, driving, and IS, which all need work (for a season or so, try to get HA/DR up to 9/10 each). From there, consider working on IS, OD, and passing (up to 7-10, depending on what kind of build you want). Add a bit of IS, ID, REB, and SB and you should be good to go (until he caps). You might consider getting a bit more OD/Passing to 12 or so before he caps, but I think that has to do with how patient you are with training.

From his size, I would make him a SF. But it is a hard an long way to train a SF. I do the same and it is really tough.
