well my man Junel Viojan (13434471) Small Forward

Weekly salary: $ 6 620

DMI: 14200
Age: 18
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: average
Jump Shot: strong ↑ Jump Range: strong ↑
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: atrocious
Driving: average Passing: average
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: average Free Throw: pitiful

just poped in js and jr at once!! now time for inside def?? or am i better to go for is first???

Do you suggest training one on one for forwards or guards?
Cheers

train ID first and rotate it between ID and reb.. those are the 3 main skills u will be training if u want Viojan on the U21 side.

his OD and passing looks fairly good already.

In my opinion he's very trainable as a SF. Due to his height, you'd be better off training is guard skills for 2 years then switching to outside skills.

I would train IS first. Complimentary skills train faster if they are closer together ie. complimentary skills are IS, ID, Rebounding and SB.

Naker: There isn't heeeeaps of difference in the two and you know what the differences are so it's up to you. I'm assuming playing him at a forward position will work better for your team though so that might be the best option at the moment. Don't forget the JumpShot specific training too though.

Ezyfrag: If you're planning on playing him as a SF (which would make sense given his current skill set), i would go heavy on the Outside D to begin with. SFs still need to have good OD and mediocre just isn't going to cut it. Outside D is also one of the slowest skills to train so this is a perfect time to do it.

Cheers, I'll keep you updated :)

yeah i meant IS not ID lol, it was a typo

"train ID first and rotate it between ID and reb.. those are the 3 main skills u will be training if u want Viojan on the U21 side."

G'day blokes,

just lettin you all know how my big mate is going. A triple bump this week so I am going to start a cycle of big boy training to get him one bump in each of is, id and re then back to some more outside skills.

So that is 5 bumps so far this season. Grouse! Now on with the big boy stuff and soon he will be good enough to be a regular starter for me. Great bloke!

So Mallima or anyone, what do youse guys recommend? I still hope he can make the U21 team even if his potential means he will never make the national team. I am hoping that by keeping him well rounded and never training sb that his salary will stay decent. The other strategy would be to never train his is and just make him a defensive beast. Which would be more attractive to the U21 team?

Very nice player and awesome to see a triple pop. I don't think i've ever had one of those (although i don't train 1 on 1 often).

As a big man, he has really great outside skills so you're ahead of the field in that area. I would say that Passing is a must (that'll train some more handling as well) and get started on those "big man" skills. Besides the Passing and Stamina, not much there i don't like for an 18 year old big guy so far.

Keep up the good work!

Nice player, but I think if you want to get him on the U21 team you are going to need to train up Inside shot soon. Not training inside shot will also slow down his other primary skills so those will train slower as well.

I would also try and get passing up a few levels.

Goodluck!
