Ok, at least he wants to become the best. Here he is. Young 6'3" 18 years old teenager with hall of famer potencial.

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

Gabriel is not interested much in defense, for him it is all offense. And his aim is to become the best of the best in this field. He wants to have JS, JR, Driving and IS all legendary.

What do you suggest for this young prospect? :)

defense....

Is it a suggestion? :)

For an SG.....

JS 20 JR 20
OD 16 HA 15
DR 20 PA 12
IS 20 ID 9
RB 7 (cuz it will pop probably no matter what) SB 8

Even with a lvl 7 Coach this is impossible until he turns 31.
I wonder why you get those crazy numbers.
First of all, he will cap at
20 19
15 19
20 12
19 10
6 7
on the way up to this (this should be 11 pot) when he is about 29.
2nd, how do you want to get 20 drive, but limit handling to 15??
This build is not very usefull in my opinion because he lacks defense.

A better approach would be something like
19 16
19 20
20 12
17 11
6 7
at 27 years. That's still a very long shot (no stamina or free throw training at all), and most likely not the best build, but at least possible and potentially viable.

I use "coach parrot" which is pretty accurate in my opinion, and claimes to takes elastic effect into account.
My problem with your theory was, that the 20s are not reachable, if you push (let's say) passing to 12 and od to 15. And then the beautifiul 20's build is ruined.

Nevertheless "in my opionion" such an offensive build is not viable in any division as for I. you need some defense, and for II. and lower it costs too much per week, and i provided a different solution.

Hey, thanks for all the answers and input all of you put here.
About me, yea I have some understanding about the game, otherwise it would be impossible to win a trophy in Lithuania with 1000+ users. Also, I used some calculators and spreadsheets to see what and when it is possible to reach.

And as it happend I got such a prospect in Utopia, I decided to do something new with him. Something what was never done before.

Such skills is easily reachable. And is not harmful at all salary wise (below 150k). And I might go beyond 20 in some of the skills rather than train more defense.

I understand that it is not the best player I can get. And he will be terrible in defense and will not get high rankings. But it is fun to have a player who can score. And I might have some of them in my team. Probably I will lose more than I will win, but I least it will be fun to watch :) You know.. After so many years in the game, I just have to find something new and out-of-box here to keep my interest in the game :)

So lets keep the track. He has 60 skill points already :)
