10 skillups in two seasons? I would give him this:

OD- 3
RB- 3
HN- 2
PA- 2

He would then be good enough to play on a team that loses by 39 to BC Hostivar!

It was only the laxatives spiked in into your guys gatorade at the end of the 3Q..... I reckon if you had him he wouldve reduced the deficit to 37!

What Do u think of this guy?

Age: 19
Height: 6'8" / 203 cm
Potential: MVP

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

What do u think i should train?
I was thinking of making him a SF since he has decent inside skills and i train guards.
Any inputs will be appreciated.

He is a bit tall to do be a SF. You could first start with a few levels off guards skills, like JS, OD and PS and than when he turns 21 or so start training his inside skills.

I think for the perfect guard trainee he is a bit tall, but with his MVP potential and a bit off patience, he can become a very nice player...

6'8" is just about an in-between height, so conventional thinking says this is just the right height for SFs. However, I generally agree with you that he is too tall. This is only because I like outside focused SFs more in the new engine (to be more specific, looking more like a PG). I like my SF trainees to be right around 6'4" (less can even be better).

Hi all,

I have only one rookie this year but he should become my starting SF or rather PF in a while:


Age: 18
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable

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

He's receiving Guard Training this and possibly next season. So far he's had 3 ups in Jump Shot (5, 2 weeks ago and this week).

Which kind of training do you think would help him the most? I'm thinking about getting his JS up to 9 or 10, that should also bring his JR up to 6. Besides that, 1 or 2 levels of OD might be nice. But that depends on how much his height actually slows down that training...
If I keep training guards next saison, he'll get some more ups in JS. If I switch to PF/C training, I'll rotate between the four big men skills.

But now I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts!!

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.
