So we have guest, waldron and kruatz versus ryder, williams and palmeri.
Can't wait to see them in 4-5 seasons time.

It is funny now that all the best NT players are trained by high profile managers when it used to always be randoms that trained them, just got a guy with high potential and pushed primaries to the max.

So i did a little bit of analysis. I took Williams' skills from start of the season (ie: submitted on offsite forum for U21 team).

Williams is 5-6 pops from being classified as a PF. He would need 5-6 or so pops on his inside skills to then be classified as a PF.

Whereas Guest is already a PF. So it is hard to compare the two.

Ironically, Williams is only 2 OD pops from being classified as a SG.

The thing about a PF, is that there are three big men skills contributing the most of their classification (IS, ID and RBcontribute approx 0.4 as from the Potential Calculator stats). and then JS contributes 0.32
Whereas with a SG, JS(.45), JR(.5) and OD(.42) contribute the most, with rebounding being the 4th to contribute at .25

so my point being, is that you can have a PF, who has high IS + ID + JS AND JR and have high stats in passing, handling driving as these skills contribute as much to the SG classification as they do in the PF classification.....So the guy can still be classified as a PF, and yet, literally be 1 or 2 OD pops away from being classified as a SG.

So whilst Guest's classification might still be PF, he might actually be freakishly well balanced, simply because of the above phenomena with stat classification/distribution.

I think Sid is just trying to bait me because he is still bitter he missed out on Guest... and because he made assumptions about our ABBL regulation series. He bought up because he thought that's what I was going to do (-$$$). I sold up (+$$$).

One day I just hope Guest can be half as good as the new chosen one, Ivan Ryder.

There is no doubt that you, many times more than anyone else, has really messed with my mind big time over the seasons.

You have always had the knack of doing it, but whilst you will never admit it, I reckon I left you hanging with Guest as you thought I was going to get him at all costs.

.....So the guy can still be classified as a PF, and yet, literally be 1 or 2 OD pops away from being classified as a SG.

Yep Ryders already made the cross over to being classified as a PF, a couple of weeks ago Palmeri was classified as a SG and now he is a SF.

I suspect that by the end of next season they will all be classified as PFs and it will then take another 2 seasons of training to get them back to being SFs.

Williams will ultimately be a balanced SF with perhaps an outside bias
Palmeri will be reasonably balanced SF with a difference
Ryder will either be an Inside focused SF or an outside focused PF

and it will then take another 2 seasons of training

\So does that mean you are not coming to the ABBL for at least another 2 seasons? Can we lock this in?

My primary focus is on the training of my 3 trainees.

My primary focus is not the speculating about what division my team will be in

If you realise that that person is messing with your head, then they arent doing a good enough job.

Post his skills.

ahhhhh nothing like an OT loss in the cup which will cause havoc with game shape to make this week end nicely.

at least my dude got training minutes.

The buzzerbeater community is always so strong and passionate. I got this email the other day about my first superstar in my team. In fact, he was part of my original team that was computer generated for me. The fact this manager took the time to email me, when this superstar had been to so many teams showed such dedication!

Hello,
Just thought I'd let you know that I have a player from your original season 3 team, will Thornton. He's 39 years old now but can still shoot the ball pretty well.

He's stats for everything else have all dropped way down but for some reason his js and jup range are still marvellous and tremendous.

Just thought you might have found it pretty cool that he's still around at this age. You must've trained him well.

Cheers
