I realize I am butting in on a discussion between the two of you but keep the potential of the player in mind. He has all the time in the world to cap this guy. IS is free for salary and counts very little towards the cap. He will appreciate his guard a lot more if he can get the IS to average or respectable. I do agree the ID, SB and Reb are lost causes at this point but he can make this guy an offensive weapon that would be effective all the way to D2.

Yes and I agree with you completely. Thats why i mentioned training 1v1 for forwards because it can get him those 3-4 pops while also training the guard skills that he needs. I was just arguing with him about the other three, because like you say, those skills dont matter.

So, my advice to you is to download the Training Simulator: (229484.1).

Use it to figure out what you want your player to look like, how much time you're willing to spend training that player, what that training will do to your other trainees. Weigh the costs/benefits. Think about whether or not you'll be able to win while training. Think about whether you'll be able to pay salaries and when salaries will force you to promote or sell. Do what's gonna be good for your team.

You're in D.IV. I would say you want prolific-sensational OD for a starting guard if you want a shot at promotion. Offensive skills and secondaries are the gravy after OD as far as I'm concerned.
