Focus on the 3rd guy. 2nd player will be 21 next week, and his is and is is low for a sf. I suggest you to give 5-6 weeks OD, and 3-4 weeks 1on1 for guards, 1-2 weeks passing. When you give them one pos. training, you can train just the first, and the third one; and maybe try to get 48 min. for the second in scrimmage. But if it's not possible, then just train him, when you train two pos. trainings (like 1on1).

I would train 1 on 1 forwards during 2 game weeks. This will help the inside shot on those guys.

For the first half of the season I would choose Pressure PG. For the second half I would choose Inside Defense Center. Even guards need to be able to defend inside.

The outside skills of these guys are pretty good already, but I really like to see handling/driving high. Its cheap and easy to train. You will train handling/driving better at the SF/PF position.

my boys look like this now :) just 2 more seasons of training left :(
tanking next season to get OD to 16, PS to 10 and ID to 15

Then its 1v1 / JS mayhem all the way :D

thse player are hands down awesome

thanks... definitely a learning experience tho when training SFs, if you want to create an insane player - superstars don't cut it. Been worried about them capping lately =/

This was my first draft and am open to any advice on how to train my new player. I'm excited about his starting skills and don't know if I should be fixing his OD and Passing and to what level or should I drive right into big man skills and if so what?

That was pretty nice for your first draft then! 72 and good potential. Personally I wouodn't worry about his outside D because he will be a hardcore center and probably wont be starting once he reaches his full potential (assuming that you are in D.III or above in 4-5 seasons). I would work on his passing right away however and get it up to at least inept and then just work away on inside D, inside shot, and rebounding.

So, I drafted this guy.

Obviously he has some potential. Thing is, I have another trainee who just broke into the starting 5 and I'm not done with him. As a result, I'll probably spend the entire season training inside skills for C/PF. I'm thinking I play this guy 48 minutes in those positions in easy games or (eventually) friendly ones, so he gets some inside training. Then when I'm done with the PF guy, this guy gets all the attention and eventually becomes a SF.

You guys figure that's plausible? He's already 19 and won't be getting my full attention on his first season, but I still figure I can make something out of him. I'll need a new project next year after I'm done with the PF anyway, so a 20 year old MVP with some kind of even skillset is gonna come in handy at that point I figure.

What do you guys think? Am I just gonna waste his potential? Should I just sell him perhaps?

Yeah, but I'm not willing to sacrifice matches in order to train these guys. Guy #1 will get his minutes simply by the grace of being in the starting lineup. Guy #2 will have to settle for easy cup matches and throwaway games. I'll probably get another guy so I can make use of the c/pf position training once I'm out of the cup, but that's for later. I know he's nothing special at this point, I just thought I'd try to shape him into something in the future since he has the height and potential for it. Good 3's are hard to train but much harder to buy, so I figured I'd go for it.
