Nice win gully and obviously next season is a big one- definitely a good thing to have a stable manager at this point.

Good job. Poland and Portugal also did not qualify, so you're in good company. In addition to that, Italy lucked out once again, but they should have been out too. Cech Reupublic eliminated Poland with R&G and nearly had marvelous outside shooting (even so they still bricked 2/3 of their three-pointers).

Also to clarify what I mean regarding unconventional builds I just stumbled on this guy while checking the German roster:
Heinrich Jägermeister (22633735)
13/10/11 14/14/12 9/17/17/17 5/9 (134TSP 6'10'')

If you think the guy will suck offensively: Germany beat Turkey finishing tied for second (well Italy was second, Turkey third and Germany fourth) in this game (30613). The guy above with 9 IS played 31 minutes and finished with 27 points on 10-11 shooting.

Now, to achieve that build you need at least an MVP potential, but you could potentially train a Superstar potential to something like 10/9/11 14/14/12 6/17/17/17 if the initial skills were right. To create a good big man from subpar potential you will need to punt one skill (in this case IS). The same goes for guards. For PGs especially a lot of people punt JS and JR and push IS. Something like this should be achievable with a superstar, but I don't know how desirable it would be for others:
11/11/19 17/17/14 15/9/3/8 (if you have 1 or 2 rebounding you could technically even push OD to 20)

I can see why he scores so well. Very nicely rounded for Inside offence. Would like to see him play LP.. can you see any on his list?

nm.. found one from season 28, fascinating.

yeah this one (72459590) is the only one in 3 seasons. Obviously it's not of any use, because the guards shot more than the inside players since they were playing against lucky fans. I'll check if there is a NT game.

Edit: No NT game either: the only one they had he didn't play. He had a couple of bad games playing LI last season against strong teams but his number of shots was limited to around 7.

I didn't see one with him in it, their second of the season was LP

Was a good win today and shame we haven't qualified, but having lost two games with the difference being 5 shows how good a job you and the rest of the managers have done with the players.
I look forward to the consolation tournament next season under your leadership, hopefully we can get a draw that suits us and progress in the manager we want too!
Kudos to you my friend.

absolutely awesome player you posted.

we have as far as i know 4 or 5 trainers (please correct me when I am wrong) that dropped down divisions to train players that might stand a chance to play one day for the NT.

I wouldn't be willing to train a guy like that, for many many seasons in div II, or even div II because that is what you need to do, to train him out off position. Would you be willing to do that? I am certainly not willing to do that.

Also, how many really active players do we have? And does germany have? How many potentially good players do they draft every season and do we draft?

That guy that tata just sold, i have forgotten who trained him, Anderson or something like that. I think for our community, he is like once in every 10 seasons going to happen and even than, I didnt have the feeling he was that game changeing...

Iraq Cats trained him, bounced divisions a few times in the process, he never made it to EBBL, I think Fluff beat him in the play off. To be honest he deserved a shot at EBBL having made a player like Anderson. He was a nice fella and a ran well respected and dangerous team.
