Does Cedrick Pagan (22090038) have a chance?

Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: tremendous ↑ Handling: proficient
Driving: wondrous ↑ Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: respectable ↑
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: inept Free Throw: respectable

Experience: awful

Switching between passing and OD with a level 5 trainer. Someone contacted me a long time ago about him possibly being a U21 guy, I think last season, but he's been apparently off the radar since then and I haven't heard anything. So I just want to know if he has any realistic chance.

nice, but he has some competition with other prospect, he has to me a 45%-55% chance to be a NT guy. Get the OD to 15 or 16, and he has a great chance to be U21.

also note that his JR is pretty low, so when his 21 yr old season comes, get it to at least 9 or 10. and of course I think 15 OD is pretty great.

then 17-18 OD/Dr is good. let me run simulations of the offsite.



ok right now he is 63% to 68% full training right now. now let's see.......


ok he has a pretty decent shot at making U21. pretty good chance if you train him hard to be NT. if he is fully trained, you could, I epeat could cuase your training him how you want, have a build like this:


18/10/20/11/18/14/-9/9/6/4/-6/10

this is just a suggestion.

Note: His salary may end up near 125k at the end of training

also, don't train JS/PA for too long, that eats away potential. and raises salary. I suggest leaving that for last.

What a shame that this player was drafted by a bot. Cant see his stats but he looks like a decent prospect

When does the tournament start for u21?

I've noticed that we're stripped of players at the moment and no games are scheduled. Just wondering when we'll know how our team is shaping up.

Since we qualified for the Worlds directly by winning gold in continentals, we have to wait 3 weeks for repechage to end before we know our Worlds schedule. Magiker will likely wait until the day before our first game to put players on the roster. The reason you wait until the last minute is because we want to see how everyone's GS is, and also if we call players up a few days early, and they get injured on the Saturday before the Worlds begins, then we just wasted roster spots.

We have some info on the players we are considering on the offsite forum.

Definitely once the roster is up we will announce the contest winners!

Thanks, didn't know this part.

This part makes a lot of sense.

Let me just throw in one last post pleading Pagan's case before we make the roster. Right now he's here:


I still can't update him in the database or anything so I'm worried no one has heard about him. If he's worse than the other players, fine, but I just wanted him to be at least considered.

Thanks^ I'll make sure magiker knows, but I'm guessing he does.

Also, game shape is extremely important, so far you have been playing him 96 minutes a week. Needs to be more like 55-75 minutes a week to get that game shape up to strong or proficient. I know magiker won't take anyone with bad game shape.
