Wow Adams Guns had a good season. Won the Championship, got an MVP PF with pick 16 and Jone Bogan with pick 32 can't get much better then all that. Getting an MVP and a HOF in the same draft i better find out his secret lol

I own the #8 player on that list, I'm training him as a SF. He doesn't have enough potential for the NT, could he make it into the U21 team? I noticed the junior team only has 1 small forward, with a fairly low salary.

The U21 team is in the process of being picked so there will be a few changes. Star potential is fairly low but theres usually a lack of genuine SF's so if he is trained well he could have a chance when he is 20 or 21.

Kris Damstra (13434822)
Power Forward

Weekly salary: $ 6 122

DMI: 16800
Age: 18
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: respectable
Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: mediocre
Handling: mediocre
Driving: respectable
Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: respectable
Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: average
Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: average
Free Throw: strong

He's pretty good, except for his pitiful passing and atrocious JR. I'm training 5 rookies this season (level 4 trainer) so that might slow down his progress a little. Do you think he could be on the team when he's 21?

I don't think he could make the U21 team sorry. The reason being that he only has star potential. Also don't train him in inside skills because he will train slowly because of his height. And if you are training 5 players that means you are training 2 positions which means he won't train fast enough to make the U21 team. But he is still a good player, and you could definitely make him a good player for your team :)

Goodluck!

i am no expert but i do think that "Jump Range: atrocious" is going to be a killer for whatever you do with him you can check the training threads but i would assume that with two position training that it will take nearly a season of training to get that even up to respectable and then you need to do something about the passing

it is probably the second slowest thing to train and given his height training his inside skills will be slow so honestly i don't know what you can do with him

if it was me i would just sell him for $ 500K or 1million while you can

Personally, I don't think he could get 500k for him.

I doubt it as well. He has crappy outside skills. (Atrocious JR) and he is too short to be trained as a PF/C and also he is only star potential. Unless a n00b is bidding, i doubt he'll sell for anything more than 200k

I would suggest ignoring Jump Range and Passing completely.
This guy is not a PG and will never be a good one.

He IS a decent Small Forward with some handy bonus skills

Training One on One constantly for an entire season and you will have a killer shooter on your hands, that could be sold for a million at least.


He might not be NT capable but it is skilled enough to provide your team with a lot of money and wins in the future.

One on One for Guards, or for Forwards?
