Good SF's with OD/ID, IS/JS i think that are the most expensive. I actually train 1 right now. My plan is 2 years as a PF (he has good big skills but just 6'3) to go with my other bigs, and an other year on SG. That means that to have a good SF you must train him both as PF and a SG. Which ruin any training plan

But for new users there is actually one solution - to buy a young tall guy with good outside skills and train him as PF. There were several players like this on TL this year (I got some of them). It's not too expensive to rookie to buy them and after some time you get a pretty good SF.

How do u define the ''good outside skills''?

Potential: perennial allstar 19y/o
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: mediocre
Driving: inept Passing: inept
Inside Shot: strong Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: inept Free Throw: average

After a year of training he got 3 pop ups on shooting, 2 on inside shot and 1 on handling, driving rebounding and inside shot. I just wish that this player was 6'8. Unfortunately he is only 6'3

actually. you're quite lucky he's small i think because his 'outside' skills need a lot more work thank inside. He could be a good SF if you train the OD, JS and other skills (DR, maybe PS) up.

How do u define the ''good outside skills''?

There is no exact definition of good outside skills. It depends on what you want from the player...and I said it's a good way for new users, so you could have gotten what I meant by that...

I see the idea. I think i might have 2 good prospects for this type of training but I am not sure. I was thinking I was gonna train them with the centers since they are both PF. Check them out and if you got any suggestions about their training it would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Well, in my point of view they're both more PF or C than SF...the first one could be used as SF if you play inner tactics and 23 zone, for instance...but, I would both of them treat and train as PF's...start with getting both IS and ID to respectable (since both of them have respectable rebounding) and then it's up to you, what you choose, but don't train one skill too much (like rebounding to 13 and others are still on 7). Do you know what I mean?

These are only my suggestions, though. Someone other (better) can have other opinion and so you can have one, so do it as you think it's the best way. Hope, it's somehow helpful

Edit: If these two are the only trainable players, you can also think about playing them as C's - you can then train In. Def. & In. shot only with centres and it's faster then.

Thanks alot for the info. I am new so any help is appreciated. I actually got another PF and 3 more C's to train. One of the C's looks quite well as well. I hit the TM quite hard trying to make an extra buck over next couple of years. I am gonna train those guys as PF's for atleast a season and after that who knows.

So,
training which positon can earn more?
