I think you should run Push The Ball in your next game. If the missmatch is with Sonada than he will still get his dunks and lay ups but you will open the outside with Konoe.

Well, wolph gave you advice to what you need to do. He said that Konoe needs more passing so I would give him two weeks of passing starting next Friday(unless he has the minutes at PG for tomorrow's training).
I am also a big believer in GS...example....I think a SG with 15 OD and 9 GS defends better than a 16 OD in 7 GS. The same for all the other stats. So it seems pretty cut and dry. You get Konoe some passing pops and get his GS up to 8 or 9 and your boy will get the starting nod for sure...

Thanks to you both. GS has been fantastic almost every week for 3 seasons and could have been last week but I decided to go for the OD pop instead of another week of 1on1. I don't think 2 weeks of passing will change the order but I have no issue with it as it was part of my plan. I can easily switch it up for this week as he already has 48+ at PG and is finished for the week with exactly 48 minutes. I don't want to risk him playing any more so hopefully that will be enough and his GS rises.

I actually want to give him a lot of passing at some stage because his low potential means that in order to make him a JBBL standard player I will have to work around his primaries to get the most out of him.

The annoying thing this week was Takayoshi Kawagichi again can't get a break. I set him as starter, backup and reserve. Only 9 players rostered. All given a position. Strictly follow depth chart. Play them. Last week his minutes were wrecked by fouling out, this week by the coach pulling him for 2 minutes at some stage in the 3rd for a little rest.

Still seems odd to me that as a SG he is the best outside shooter and the best defender but still doesn't get the call.

VERY good guard prospect on the lists at the moment: (23447300)
PA potential, not a single atrocious there at all. Wolph - get one of your guys who's doing training SGs to pick this guy up!

I disagree with "worth". C'mon Wolph - that's the bottom end of what at least the (most of the time very conservative) TLE has him. You've listed guys at more than double their TLE.
Hell, check what's available on the Nippon TL at the moment, he'd be close to the best value-for-money on the entire thing.

Hehe... fair enough - justify your stance all you like Wolph, but you, I and everyone else here knows that nothing I said in that last comment is inaccurate.
