At least you're not freaking out on me this time...
As far as the bigs go. I am led to believe (cause he hasn't been sold) thatK-Mart has amazing secondaries. Awesome. He should be in every week as long as his GS is decent.
K-Mat (no 'r')... is pretty decent. I'm happy with the direction he's taking.
There have been times where he either hasn't played, or hasn't had as much run as I like... but I either understand *why* (7 GS one time), or have BBmailed to have a conversation on him with Swoosh. There have also been times where he's been a focal point of the team. It all ebbs and flows. As we say, "merry-go-rounds and swings"...
I've never sung him up - but I have occasionally expressed being pleased when he has a good game (like last game - the one you're complaining about Wakatsuki not playing). Because I don't talk about him, his training or skills I'm not sure what leads you to believe anything about him.
Kouzo Yasujiro is the future of the team he should always be playing too given good GS. But Eita has some incredible secondaries as well. I made my team horrible last season to train his OD & PA up a but but they train slowly as you know in 24yo 6'11" guys. This season I was told he needs more RE & ID so guess what I have been doing?
Yasujiro is
part of the future of this team. We have a good mix of bigs now - and because of that there will be weeks where one of them isn't in the mix. K-Mat's missed out before, I'm sure if I scroll through games Yasujiro would have too. Last week it was Wakatsuki.
So?
My point is - and has been all along - that I'm sure Swoosh has a very good reason for that, and in all likelihood it's something that he doesn't want to discuss in open forums. I'm sure you don't want him discussing Wakatsuki specifically in this forum, just as we all *don't want* about our players... or the NT.
We just have to get our players to the point where we don't need the Furusawas and Hayakawas of this virtual basketball world. We're getting there.
We're all working hard for the future of the NT. You're fortunate to be reaping the benefits of an All-Nippon team that you've worked hard to construct, and is the envy of many managers here (myself included... as far as having an All Japanese team). And you've worked hard to get to that place - something we all recognize.
But with all due respect, that confers no special privileges.
Oh... and on searching, I get the same result
No results found. Try a less restrictive search.
For Matsumoto, Tim & Torii. I have to just keep training, and get (with a bit of conversation/direction with YC/Swoosh) K-Mat/Bird to places their respective NT coaches are happy with, and sustainable for my team. And try to get Tim to a place where the HK team *HAS* to take him (which is highly unlikely given he's only 'superstar').
