I would go for SF. Why?


Dont BS the threadstarter. JS is the most expensive skill for an SF, I guess there is a reason for that.

The player mentioned has INEPT JS, fixing this leak will take two full seasons of training. And then you have a twenty year old dude that has no ballhandling skill (turnovers galore) and no rebounding - yeeeeha!

When I started this game I had the idea of training my 6'6 C trainee to become a SF, took me six seasons and then he ran out of potential. Dont waste your time on below terrible rookies!

I see you already play LI, so he could be a perfect SG trainee for LI.
RB is too low for SF
PA & HA are too low for SG.

I would train IS exclusively, while you're in DV until 12,13, then
OD until at least 14 (better 16), then find time to raise PA to 10 and
1on1 forwards till he bursts.

His low RB and JS will actually help him not to cap a great deal!

And why are you assuming his SF should train JS so much? I didn't have JS in my mind at all. He could become a great inside SF and JS 15 is enough for that. JS is being trained with 1 on 1 on SF/PF, IS and JR. He doesn't have to train JS in his first two-three seasons at all.

Also JS is a 2-position training, so he can include more trainees and sell them later for profit.

I honestly don't see where I'm BS the OP and I would appreciate you not throwing such words around.

This player lacks all the baisc requirements to be a valid trainee. Everybody who tells the OP this guy is trainable has no clue.

2.7k starting salary and Allstar-Potential, lack in important skills/height/potential no matter what position this guy should play, cant be a guard, definitely no SF and too small and no RB to be a PF/C.

Dumping this player and moving on to a new trainee would be much better...

The guy has 52 skill points 4 weeks into his 18 year old season. 2.7K salary is just a reflection of low RB and lowish JS. He has good starting OD, JR, IS, ID, reducing his need of those single position training weeks. He doesn't foul out a lot. He doesn't need ST or FT training. His potential is enough to make a good USA D3 starter, and probably a decent backup in D2.

Is he a super awesome trainee? No. Is he the centerpiece of a training program? No. Is he the best choice for a train and sell approach to training? Not so much, since prospective buyers might look askance at the potential (and if you're training to sell, that's important, even if buyers overvalue potential). But he is definitely worth training, worth being part of the rotation, and a guy that could be a good player on your team for a long time.

Couldn't say better than Tangosz above me.

2.7k starting salary


You just "killed" yourself.

JS 10 7 JR
OD 13 12 HD
DR 12 9 PA
IS 12 13 ID
RB 8 6 SB

This is the low threshold of allstar, so he could have 3-8 pops more than this build, depending on potential sublevel. Now tell me honestly this isn't good enough for D.II!

You could reach that goal, but how long does it take.

Handling, JS, Rebound will take four seasons of training and then what? Five more seasons for the other skills? Maaaaaaan.

EDIT: before you start calling me clueless again... As I said I have been there and have done that with two of my own players. Once they become decent players they either become too old to get more training, or they run out of potential for those one or two pops that would turn them from very good players into worldclass players. Especially if we are talking about SFs.

It would take about 5-6 seasons. Usually you want to get out of the way the one-position skills like OD, ID and PA and then finish it with some 2-position training (RB, 1 on 1, JS) where you can train more players. Of course I'm not saying he shouldn't train 1 on 1 for next two seasons, but just focus on getting player's one-positions skills up there as quickly as he can.

before you start calling me clueless again


I didn't call you clueless before you did that.

I implied it? Haha, who started with things like BS, dude? If you read what you want to read, that's not my problem. I didn't want to imply anything until you started with clueless.
