Looks like a very good prospect for a future PF there. Nice pickup :)

Just remember to plan for some jump shot training and things like that at some stage. Don't just do Rebounding/IS/ID and nothing else.

Just acquired a similar player.

Great base for a SG mate. get the passing up to strong/proficient and train the hell out of JR, pressure and one on one with single position training wherever possible.

Looks like we have some pretty good young players this season. Hope you guys train them.

Remember 48 minutes minimum EVERY week and try and reduce the amount above 48 minutes as much as possible so you can train other players in the same position. If you are perfect you can get 3 players with 48 minutes for each position being trained.

The less positions selected for training the more concentrated the training is and the faster these young bast**ds will be on the U21 team

G'day blokes do you think this guy could ever be good enough?

Yeah he is a 7' SG but me plan is train 1 on 1 until he pops than passing till he pops. By then I will have some more big guy trainees and be out of the cup so I will switch to single position C training. I hope he will eventually be a solid PF with reasonable outside skills. What do you all think? If there is any more small guy training I should do please let me know because I want to do all of that now while I don't have any other big guys to train.

The bad thing is the potential but if he is really balanced with all good skills across the board but none really sticking out too far his salary will stay reasonable.

Oh yeah, I have been a bit of a crap trainer in the past so any advice would be grouse. Do I need a level 6 trainer? Got level 4 now but don't want to buy a 5 if I am saving up for a 6.

And...should I lash out on a doctor. Got mimimal lev 1, I guess it would suck if he was injured for 4 weeks. Gotta decide where to spend my not so big pool of money if I want this digger to be a gun.

Sorry to ask so many dum questions but what do you blokes think would be better for him 1 on 1 for guards or 1 on 1 for forwards? Gonna go passing for guards this week.

He's got decent PF potential, and will be a great player for your team, but will never be good enough for the NT due to his potential.

Train his handling /passing 2-3 weeks a season and by the time he's 21, it should be at a reasonable level. Respectable OD for a PF is fine, with his height it's a pain to train anymore.

Regarding the trainer, personally I have a level 5 which I paid 900K for. I would say you don't need any higher, most people seem to prefer level 4 as it's the most cost effective.

For a doctor I use a level 3 doctor with massage specialty, who does a decent enough job. Injuries do happen during games and there's not much you can do about it, all you can do is reduce the time they're out.

I think One on One for guards would be fine this week too..
