Hi Brooksy,

If you go onto the offsite forum you can compare your own players to those of the players on the national team to get a fair idea.

Due to the team always turning over players the requirements can change every season. But as a basis I would follow these guides:

PG: Total of 66 over top six skills with emphasis on OD, Passing, Handling.
SG: Total of 66 over top six skills with emphasis on OD, JS, JR, DR and Handling
SF: Both OD and ID total of 20+ then well rounded out.
PF: Well rounded out with total of 44 for the 4 big man skills and 9+ for JS.
C: Total of 50+ for big man skills plus well rounded out.

This is only a guideline and will often change in the future due to the variety of players coming through each draft class.

I also have the auto message thing on for players that fit a salary requirement, but this tool is very limited as it only goes by players salaries and not overall skill levels.

Hope this answers your question and ask more if your still unsure.

Thanks

Hi J dog,

How much harder is it for a player to rank high in national u 21 games versus div 3 ?

Former national player Clifford Fallon (9469815) who is still eligible for u21 national duty, continues to average 11's when played as a small forward which is a lot better than the incumbant small forwards in the under 21 side who only ranked a 9 & 8.5 last game.

Hi Sid,

SF is one of the hardest positions to fill. I look for the best all round player, or someone that can help link the defense. I would much rather go into reasons on why I picked the team I did on the offsite forum, to prevent any international scouts spying on us.

There is one thing I can say though is that the level of competition is on a higher level than Australian Div 3 and I believe that may have an affect on ratings especially for the SF who is more well rounded than specialized.

I am quite comfortable with the selected team and unfortunately there are always going to be players left out.

Like I said I would feel more comfortable in getting into more details on the offsite forum than BB forums.

Thanks

He only played a small amount of minutes in those high ranking games.

That's the key here, I think - he has not had a rating above 7.5 this season when he's played more than 20 minutes. For a full game it's been 6.0-7.5.

Hi RabidCamel & Iwen

Those 3 games were the only 3 games Fallon played as a small forward.

The other games he played out of his position so that he would get training minutes either as a centre or point guard, so that I could best maximise his training.

If you notice historically over the last 3 seasons when he has played as a Shooting guard (2nd best position), power forward (3rd best position) or as small forward (best position) he has rated a lot better over good minutes

Small forward seems to have been the weakness of the Australian u21 team all season and because of Fallons all over evenness it is his best position.

Speaking of small minutes, Darcy only played 8 minutes for his rating of 9

Admittedly Stamina is not Fallons strongest asset but I'll give him 48 mins as a powerforward (still not his best position) tonight.

I hope you appreciate I'm not going to completely stuff up my training minutes by playing him long minutes as a small forward just to prove a point especially when J-Dog has a closed mind on the issue

Sid join the offsite and J-Dog can post exactly why he is not in the team.

SF is a hard spot. Some strategies work best with a SG or PF playing SF.

I don't know his skills. Haven't watched his games. So can't really comment.

You are Div 3 so stats aren't best way to judge. That said. Tos are high.

Games like (18116086) boost up his numbers as well.

Without watching him play or seeing his stats its really hard to say anything sorry.

Ratings aren't everything.

Like Coach Bob and Iwen have stated register for the offsite forum and we can discuss it further from there.

With that I encourage all aussie managers to register on the forum that way all areas of the team can be analyzed from all different views. Through open detailed discussions we can then make the best decisions to help the U21NT be as dominant and successful as possible.
