Hey i just was looking at the transfer list and this guy is 30 and he popped in rebounding. He is now tremendous how did that happen? I though they stoped popping at like 25 to 26.

Nobody ever stops popping. It just takes a lot longer to pop at an older age....

So you can teach an old dog new tricks.. eventually.

i dont train sg etc so i sell this guy fast cause this is a very good trainee!!

Not that great to be honest. Atrocious OD is a very bad starting point for a guard and he doesn't have the height or IS to train as a big.

First guy is ok but i hate that OD. You can train that but will take a while maybe even the whole season to get to a good level. But after that his other skills are behind. Up side great potential and quite balanced guard skills, a team could get sucked in by that overpaying for him.

Second guy, my favourite out of all of them. Great skills, don't worry about passing at the moment cause it trains really quick. I had a 19yo with atrocious passing and 4 weeks of training passing it pops to mediocre. Thats a pop every time i trained it. It was because the other skills where all average and over and probably a high sublevel. Train OD and JR. Switch between the two until OD gets to proficent or JR gets to proficent. If you get a pop first time training OD then stop training till OD gets to prominent (rorating between JR and OD). Play him as a SG when training JR so it is one position. After that it would have taken about 8 or 9 weeks getting 48mins one position every week. Train JS till that pops once. Train one on one for the rest of the season. Remember ASW and every 2 game weeks train stamina or FT. HE is gonna be a great player.

Third guy is ok but again i hate that OD. Get that up 1 level then sell him, good potential and that OD pop will make him look more balanced sucking in some teams.

Goodluck with these players

I saw the poor OD on him... part of the reason I bought him was because the other trainee also has bad OD... actually I also wanted to test the height thing.. and see how fast the guard skills improve with shorter players :D
