Well his start is going to be glacial as I try to get his OD and PA to 10. I figure even with the lowish potential that will make him a unique and useful big man.

You're going to train these first? I was thinking a similar thing with my guy, but wasn't sure if it was a good idea...

That's got to be a season's worth of training right there, though given his height and starting stats?

Yes 7'0" and I am going to train his OD and PA first - well I have REB this week and a couple of weeks of one on one for forwards planned as well. But if I am to somehow take his perennial allstar potential and make him into something special then it has to be done. I think a C with prominent OD, PA and DR as well as wondrous primaries should have a reasonable wage but hit far above his weight. Have a look on the TL for any player similar. I did, no results found.

A great idea, Yoda. A player, if persisted with, who will, as you say, be somewhat unique.

I hope you appreciate how slow the training for OD and PA is going to be...

I think he does, Naker and from memory we're only talking 3 pops in OD and 3 pops in Passing over a season so it should be managable even for a seven-footer yeah? Then again, Yoda did say somethings about Rebounding then One-on-One...mmm...maybe he won't get that Prominent for both OD and Passing???

It's a little quicker when you have 18 year olds as opposed to geriatrics with walking frames :P

3 pops in OD...I'd expect 3 weeks per pop minimum. And same for passing.
I could be wrong though and maybe it is quicker than that, but height truly slows things down a lot, and when cross training was introduced it slowed down primary training even more I believe.
