All Players need SB?

Now I know why you posted this.

And I can tell you this.....I have two SGs behind yours with way better Inside skills than your boy Andou. Having a level 1 ID/IS or SB and sitting in a bot league where you could play your boy out of position is inexcusable. Look at Super Takabe....he had a level 1 ID right out of the draft, now it is 6 levels higher. And he is about to take Andou's starting spot.

Last but not least for the newbie in you....
ID helps OD train through elastic effect. And to get ID up you need SB because it effects ID training through elastics. Training is like a spider web, it is all linked. And for you not to know this is sad.
If team ran outside O all the time than a no ID/SB SG would be useful, but when 97% of games are LI battles, having a player handicapped by bad inside skills is just a waste of a jersey.

At PF.....easily player B....is that some kind of joke. And I am the U-21 coach which means, training OD and passing on bigs while they are young is very important. Your player A looks good for a Per. Allstar with no chance of making the senior squad, but for MVP's and HOF players...Got to get those secondaries out of the way early. Thanks for your input, but isn't U-21 the stepping stone for the NT team? I think we just are playing the game in two different countries and it shows. In your world, ruining a player by capping him out without secondaries is cool because you have so much talent to choose from. In Japan, we don't have that luxury. We get maybe two or three decent MVP/HOF players a season in the draft. And as U-21 manager, I will try my hardest to make sure they are trained right and not abandoned like Shinaga did to Kishita.
For example;
Take the young HOF player Takabe..(Sorry Brutus Buckeye but he is a beast now)..yeah he is going to be a PG/SG in the future, but he came out of the draft with level 1 ID....sure he didn't need to train it in your and Shinaga's world, but for him to make the next step...I informed him he should train it...and BOOOOOOM...6 ID POPs...
BTW....The managers don't have to listen to me if they don't want. But if their player gets passed up by another player on the depth chart, it is the managers problem not mine. I can only direct them, I can't force them to train what I want.

In scrimmage news.....we will have game three with the Saudis. They took game 1....we took game 2...should be fun to watch. Next Monday at 6pm....

Feel free to take part... but in Nippon (and other nations of small size) - with our limited player pool - it is absolutely imperative that the U21 manager and the NT manager work together. The U21 manager absolutely should be preparing players for NT duty, not simply focusing on his team.

And you have to understand... Shinaga's questioning (and at times, it seems constant) is more about his player and trying to discredit YC as the U21 manager than anything else. I suspect as we get closer to elections, the more it will ramp up.
