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.

Thanks for the congratulations. I actually thought we'd win quite comfortably, mostly because of relative game shapes.

On another subject:

I wouldn't want to either.

He also trained Paul Bull alongside Anderson, which is pretty good going.

There are people who don't mind spending two seasons without winning a single game. I hated two consecutive losing seasons. Hell, I hate the fact I lost a cup game this year.

My trainee will have better inside skills than that guy and worse (but still viable) outside skills.

If you start with good stats and a lvl 4 trainer you can create a guy like that by starting 1v1 (guards) for a bit over a season>OD (at this point he will be ok as a backup if you get one or 2 ID pops)>PA+JR>push SB>ID>RB

If he started: 7.5/6.5/6.5 6.5/6.5/6.5 2.0/6.5/6.5/6.5 when he's still 19yo you'll finish OD and he will be:
13.3/6.5/11.3 13/14/6.5 6.5/7.3/6.5/6.5

At the end of 21 he will be:
13.3/6.5/11.3 13/14/6.5 6.5/12/9/16
or:
14/10/11.3 14/14.3/12 6.5/7.5/6.5/7

Depending if you finish PA/JR or you go on SB first. He'll hit that build at 27yo although the last season would only be to take RB from 16 to 17.

So yeah, you're right, you have to do 3 out of position seasons pretty much (or 2 at the beginning and 2 at the end). But he should be an ok backup in D2 after 2-3 seasons.

good luck finding a 66 skill player at 18 with MVP+ potential for less than 2 million

Good luck arguing that 6x8+7+2=66 instead of 57.

Of course, it's not like 6.5x8+7.5+2.0 adds to 66, or anywhere close to that, either, you know. ;)

At any rate, I can totally see how some savvy italian DIV-DV manager or a few English managers would pay a couple of millions for a 18yo 57 TSP player!
