You guys are crazy to shoot down this player so quick. I have a player eerily similar to this guy and I plan on making him into a valuable inside oriented PG/SF. I actually value his low JS/JR because of his low potential. I can make his OD/HA/DR/PA quite high while staying under his cap.

My player will look something like this after 3 years training:

Salary: 21k

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: prominent
Driving: prominent Passing: sensational
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: respectable

The same player with Prolific/Prominent JS/JR would be 30k. This leaves me with little wiggle room to close out his PG skills to a higher level (ie Wondrous passing).

I could just buy a player with a higher ceiling, but I don't really have the bankroll or desire to train and sell players turnkey style. I prefer to train to use and too many high salaries will hurt me.

Bottom line, I think a player in this mold could be quite viable (if not entirely optimized for maximum resale value)

That player is worthless with 6 JS and 5 JR

i wouldn't say so, he won't score much but he is defensiv ok and will be alright in offense through his passing.

Players like that don't work on this game.

He will shot sometimes (can't pass because of the OD monsters) and will miss everything.

for me they did work, we also had a team which was quite succesful like that with 2 or 3 of them in the lineup.

(4667075)

10 Jumpshot, 7 Jump Range, 17 passing

Look at the pitiful games that he puts.

i saw just wins, is that bad?

Well that doesn't mean that Lenoir played good or won the game for that team. As you can see on the previous seasons also, he isn't very effective.

this guy could end up as a 40k is salary pg if you train up OD to sensational you may get a pop in ID in that time also cant remember if you said he just poped in ID or not. You might be able to get to sensation by the end of the season. get passing up to prolific or so then do one one one training for a season and you have a good PG/sf prospect in div 3. He would be a driver/slasher and get a lot of assists.

You guys are making me rethink my plan. Here is my argument.

My players passing will be end up around wondrous when all is said and done.

My plan is to build Driving and Inside Shot to around prominent. No way there will be a 15 OD/11 ID player week in and out to shut him down at the PG position. He should be able to score inside or pass effectively, hopefully both.

I think this will work better than a high JS/JR and Passing player who can be shutdown by OD alone.
