I already posted him in the other thread but I thought a second opinion couldn't hurt.

Winston Hightower (12588489) Point Guard

Thoughts?Comments? Im training passing till prolific/sensational and then one on one until driving is prominent/prolific and then JS and JR.
It would also be helpful if someone could maybe go to salary calculator and figure out what his salary would be. I don't know how to use the calculator and so it would be really aprreciated.

I have a PG who is similar but further along in his training. Unfortunately, I bought him from a team that went bot when he was 21 so his skills aren't distributed the way I would want. I will make these suggestions:
- Train JR before he gets old and it becomes a big headache.
- Stop training handling directly and start working on driving and passing. My guy has very high handling (I suspect his last owner left handling on as the training option when he stopped signing) and when I try to train driving and passing the secondary training on handling risks pushing up his handling even more and inflating his salary well past what I want. It has put me in a bit of a bind. You will get a lot of handing out of other training anyway, and when he's 22 or 23 and you have everything else where you want it will be super easy to get his handling up as well.

Personally I would consider trying to get some more OD training in next season as well before is becomes frustrating to train him when he's old. If your goal is to make him a SG then I would really push his JR as hard as possible.

I am actually training passing right now and handling has just popped as a secondary with my passing.I am trying to make him a PG. I also missed like almost a season of training because my first season i did not know that one position taining was the best so i was team training with a minimal trainer.
I have a level 5 trainer currently

Ok, yeah, that almost makes too much sense. Thanks.

wow. he has a super low salary. What level trainer do you have? What is your training plan? I want to make all my players like this.

Just brought this guy a couple of days ago. Am training him along with my other 2 young guys I mentioned earlier in IS. Unless people can suggesst another way to go?

Nice player, but pity about the JS and JR. I would train OD up a fair bit. And perhaps just get every skill other than JS, JR, SB, Stamina and Freethrows up to Strong.

hi, can anyone give me some advice on how to train these players? I am hoping that all of them can make the U21 of their respective countries one day.
