secondly the young ones should play in scrimmages (though, last season two of my trainees played in league being 18year old and it didnt stop me from wining the league) :)

And what about this? :)

The price of a good trained center is obviously not the same as a guard

It depends what you mean by well trained center. Because well trained centers or power forwards are very rare on TL. Much more rare than good guards.

Not multiskilled :) For an example:

Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: sensational
Outside Def.: wondrousl Handling: average
Driving: average Passing: average
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: awful Shot Blocking: awful

Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: awful
Outside Def.: awful Handling: average
Driving: average Passing: average
Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: wondrous
Rebounding: sensational Shot Blocking: awful

But not multiskilled center is not good center, so you can't expect high price for such a player.

I' ve edited my post, read it :)

Maybe there is a problem that there are plenty of center as you mentioned, probably much more than guards as you mentioned.

Yes, and this doesn't change the fact that this strategy works better with guards than centers :)

First of all, congratulations for your post. Its really hard for a manager to find such a team in a big community and you posted interesting things to comment. Apart from that I always said it, there are lot of good managers on Spain on Div III-IV(ofc on I-II ;) ) but for different reasons its really hard to promote on competetive leagues.

I know both players, its by far the best SG-SF i've seen since season 4 on the youth spanish team. Of course im not going to tell their skills, but im really impressed this manager manage to train such a good SG-SF, plus he is training with a trainee level7 during all this seasons(im not sure if during this 4 seasons but at least, 2 think yes.).

About those who said: ''he is going to pay lot on salaries next season'' he wont at all. He trained really well so his salaries wont rise much, its the advantatge of training on a multiskilled way, you dont have to pay huge amounts of money on salarys so if he fail this season to promote he can try it next season with better conditions.

Also if at the end he decides to give up this strategy(from my opinion it can be really usefull, but it needs like 4-5 seasons thats over 1-2 years no?), he can sell both players the SG-SF to start a new team. I dont know how the TL would value them, but for me Bañales is a top SF around 8M and Franco can be valued around 7M without problem.

I really dont know wether if this manager will arrive to Div II, but im sure that he will manage to promote to Div III for sure and then depending on what league is on DivIII he can have chances to promote again.

Anyway thanks for your post ¡

There are some leagues when you can put a 18years old on the starting line-up in championship games and win,and other when you can't do it....

Believe me, my league wasn't weak :)
