So is there anything we have to do to get our free supporter, like redeem a code or something? Because I don't seem to have received my one month yet (at least I went to set a jersey # for Marshall Ray and couldn't do so). No rush, just making sure I'm not forgetting to do something on my end.

Ok cool. I'm just glad that Ray is officially considered the top SF at this point, and the supporter is a nice added bonus.

Speaking of supporter.. my first year is about to expire in May. If I renew now, it will extend from May, correct? Not from March..

Doing rebounding this week, expecting a pop. Is there any way I can get him on the U21 team, even though he's closer to capping than most of the other bigs his age? Otherwise I'll be looking to sell in a season or two.

Got another pop on my guard hopeful. Switching to Ball Handling. Will I get some driving training with that as well? Seems to me like I would.

I think youre better off making him a PF. He only needs a few more OD,PA,and HA pops. Put some DR on him,as what they said. Then,do his big man skills to about 13-15. Than cap him with 1 vs 1 forwards.

I've sent my player's stats to GM-Jason and the current u21 coach. Is it kosher to post them here, as well? I am looking for some advice on which direction to take my guy. He's on the outside looking in, that much I appreciate. He has had the benefit of single position training his entire career, thus far.

However, I think I've gotten him to the point where keeping the skills balanced will require some 2 position training. My concern is that doing 2 position training for a player who is already on the outside looking in will only increase that gap. Do I continue to focus on a skill that can be single positioned trained and hope that the other skills will come along or do I jump right on the skill that is lacking, despite wanting to create a player for the USA?
