I did some 1-on-1 for forwards.. I am entirely unhappy how well he progressed over the season with a lvl 6 trainer..

Between () his starting skills..

Jump Shot: proficient (respectable +2)
Jump Range: average (average)
Outside Def.: strong (respectable +1)
Handling: average (inept +2)
Driving: proficient (average +2)
Passing: respectable (respectable)
Inside Shot: strong (respectable +1)
Inside Def.: average (average)
Rebounding: pitiful (pitful)
Shot Blocking: mediocre (mediocre)
Stamina: inept (Awful +1)
Free Throw: average (average)

So 9 pops this season..


Actually 10 pops, there are three pops in DR (respectable, strong, proficient).

I think what the guy was saying about Rebounding is it trains so fast that with the same decline as other skills, it still isn't all that slow. For 2 position training, I believe rebounding pops faster than anything else in the game. When you train rebounding, you can train 5 guys pretty easily...so having one 26 year old who pops, say, every 3 weeks isn't too bad.


But in terms of training speed it wouldnt make an difference, if he means it like that. IF he starts with rebounding or make it at the end. Maybe it makes more fun when you have more a constant number of pops, if you train it at end.

thank you so much for your advice. So you think keep the rebounding as is and work on everything else is the best solution? I am currently using a lvl 5 trainer, and with your skills as posted he should reach that by the age of 26. Is this too old to train RB then?

Thanks

I would say no. I have trained 26 yo players, and i got a pop every 3-4 weeks(which is ok considering the age).


Cheers.

I think he makes a better PF prospect. For his guard skills, I'd aim to take his JR up to around 9, OD to between 10-12, PA around 8-9 and JS to 12+. That's between 13-16 pops and could take a while, but you should be able to get at least a couple of the JS pops while training 1v1 for Forwards, and either get the JR pops as secondaries to JS or vice versa.

A PF with skills of 12+/9/11/14+/14+/8 14+/14+/12+/sad-little-number+ would be very achievable by the time he's 23 and valuable for a long time. That also leaves you a couple of decent seasons where you can round him out to your liking while getting a start on some younger trainees.

I agree with another poster that your guy is probably best as a SG with a nice inside skill set, but he's definitely trainable as a SF, but with a deficiency in RB.

Whether it's a good idea to train him in more outside skills along with a PF draftee strongly depends on the draftee. I don't see a big problem with getting things like OD, JR and PA up on a taller player while he's getting his fastest training to counteract the height slowdown, as long as he isn't starting off with anything at unrecoverably low levels.

all in all, it is a really excrutiating process and the training system is not very friendly for sf training at all imo. PG then Center then PG then center..over and over and over again.


Definitely a long process but you shouldn't see your trainee as your star guy until he's ready. Buy good old vet (or 2) and play him in league games and give training to your SF in scrimmages. That way you won't play your SF out of position in important league games and your performance shouldn't suffer. Meanwhile, your trainee will become better and eventually he'll surpass current starters.

Also, by changing training week after week, all of your players will receive training - not just outside guys or inside guys.

i would say then he better trains a bunch of players, which rotates with him because if he trains his vet, or general play young player he is wasting money with it.

Secondary also could be quite powerful, so a SF is not necessary so abd in game. but i prefer to switch training after a season or 2 from inside to outside(or the other way), to train one sf.
