I think it all depends on your plan and ability to compete. If you plan to train secondaries at some point, you have to decide when is the best time. For training purposes, the earlier the better because the later the longer it takes. As for league games, it depends. Say you want 2 seasons of secondary training, I think it would be better to have it early in their career because they're not good in league games anyway. If you wait with it after 2 seasons, you'll have a 15k center playing PG who could otherwise help your team. If you would have mainly secondaries with some ID every now and then, you'll have a servicable player (assuming IS is trained through 1v1 and some ID is mixed in), and you'll have trained secondaries faster, and kept salary lower.

A difference in our take is that you suggest to sell after 1 season. I was thinking more of a 3-5 season window, in which he'll have a reasonable salary when trained in secondaries.


yer sorry, i think i may have walked into suggesting that he sells him after one season - i was just using 1 season of growth as the example

my advice isnt to sell after 1 season. so yer sorry for the confusion - i used too many hypotheticals without clarifying.

Hey mate :)

I don't agree with few things about your build. First off, he is starting with low JS, so I would build him as a center, not PF. It would waste too much time to bring up JS.

Second, I don't like the 16/16/14/10 build. In my opinion, rebounding needs to be the highest skill for centers. Also, he should think about higher shotblocking, especially since they decreased the cost of it recently.

OMG totally agree. hooray for you

and agree again.

wait, are you reading my mind?
yer i agree. less IS, more driving. 16ID is probably ok IMO, but more SB than 10. Sacrifice ID 1 or 2 points for extra SB. id like to see SB at 15 personally

Hey Nightmare, always enjoy reading your posts :)

I'm interested in your opinion on REB for big men. Although Wolph's ramblings were unreadable and tiresome, I bought into his REB philosophy. He often claimed that rebounding is the most important skill for a C/PF, and I later started noticing that my tranee with somewhat lower rebounding did slightly worse in matches.

Basically:
1. Ratings win matches
2. REB may have the biggest influence on C ratings(possibly less for PF).
Conclusion: Cs need Reb.

I will try serching the TL to see about high REB centers ratings, compared to low REB centers ratings.

i also think that if you have higher SB on your players, you can player 2-3 zone more and thus off-set the lower individual rebounding.

So your defensive set becomes a factor as well.

if you play 2-3 the amount of assisted and not defended field goals will be higher and you have less occasions where you can challenge a shot.
