This is my only trainee right now, but I'll be buying a few more soon. I think I'll make him into a combo guard along w/ another trainee so that I can switch them around if I need to for defensive or offensive purposes. Here's his skills

For me his defense is definitely most important but after that I'm unsure. I'm thinking of getting him good jumpshot for playing SG and good passing so he play PG as well. Any thoughts?

He looks like he could be quite handy.

I think you are definitely right, defense first Pressure PG (9,10) this will take you about 8 - 10 weeks (you could also get pops in HA, DR, ID as well) then one on one him (forwards if you can, which you should be able to in Div V) till seasons end.

His passing will do you ok in Div V, you could work on this if you want, or leave it till early next season where it might train faster due to elastic effect since the other skills will be higher and will help it get up to speed, it will also keep salary down if you wait.

He could do with a bit of stamina training as well.

Hey guys, any thoughts?

Rebounding obviously needs a lot of training but he could be a great PF or even inside SF depending on how much time your willing to spend on his guard skills.

So that's my draftee. He looks like he could be a great guard for inside tactics but I'm not sure what I want him to become yet so I'd like to have your opinions on it. And also, do you think his rebounding needs fixing or will I just leave it atrocious?

I would just leave the rebounding and make him outside oriented guard (or at least only train outside skills because he already has respectable inside shot). His passing needs to go up immediately though.

Any idea on what to do with this character?

He's probably not your main trainee, and I don't think he should be one of them. I'd focus your training around your other guys since this one has too many holes. You could stick him along with RB/1v1 training to gain some pops quickly and then sell him once you're done with that training.

He's pretty much my main trainee, I started the game last season with 2 weeks left and essentially kinda had to just randomly pick, he was a 4/4 balls prospect and was the highest potential guy for me to pick. I'm dumping pretty much everything I have into my arena. I have this guy and a starter center who I'm training to be good backups at least. I feel like this is my opportunity to play around with the training so if I screw it up or the minutes I don't screw up someone valuable. I feel like if I make any mistakes at least I screw up a guy I got for free and didn't spend a million bucks on. But you would start 1v1?
