Well, looking at the rosters, it seems like australia only has 2 big men to worry about, one of which is injured, and it doesn't look like their guards are too dangerous. On the other hand, America seems to have a strong set of guards AND big men, so America should be fine no matter what strategy we need to use. Obviously I can't decide who I would start etc because I can't see the skills of our players, However as for our strategy, I would honestly just do a simple base offense with man to man defense. Since it is only a scrimmage, it's a perfect opportunity to test out our new roster and see where we stand. We would be able to see our strengths and weaknesses of this seasons teams. As far as GDP goes, I would ask what other people think on the offsite, but personally I would not want to risk it since a new season, new team, calls for new strategies, so it would be very difficult to guess correctly, however I would do research and give it my best prediction.

Thanks. By the way I encourage you to join the offsite. Fewmit has the pipeline posted there and you can see a list of some of the top players.

As someone with no real interest in the NT scene, pretend that I'm a fairly new user that has drafted a 60 TSP 18yo with great potential. What would your advice be?

Well, first I would ask if it was a big man, guard or small forward. That would help haha. But I would encourage you to buy at least a level 4 (superior) trainer. The higher level the trainer the better the training will be. In addition I would advise you to do one position training, and have you play your player in the position of the training you wish to do.Ex: If you were training a small forward and wanted to train the SF in inside defense, I would suggest that you play you SF at the center position that week to maximize training. Extra advice would really depend on what position your trainee is, or what you want your trainee to be.

This is the United States coming off of 2 consecutive worlds, and as far as I have seen from my occasional offsite lurking, of all the candidates, Phyr and mars seem to be some of the active ones in the discussions and threads for our U21s

I would definitely like to hear why any somewhat uneducated voter (like me) would want to stray away from the winning path for a candidate with little/lesser offsite experience?

I would want to know what the starting stats were first. Maybe he has high primary skills and crap secondary skills. Then after that, I would want you to have the highest trainer level possible, but at least a level 4 trainer. I would want that manager to do 1 position training for stats that need to be worked on. If all of that is too much for the manager to handle, I would recommend that manager to sell the 18 year old on the transfer market, have someone who is active for the U21 team go bid on that player, and the team that sold the player can instead make a huge profit from selling the player and leave the people who are active for the U21 team to make the draftee a U21 player. Both the seller and the U21 teams both win in this situation.

One final statement from me to all of the voters is:

"If you vote for mars2333, the U21 team is guaranteed to win gold at worlds."

You should vote for whoever you think can do the best job. Whether its mars, phyr, me or any of the other candidates. I think you should vote for me because i believe i can and will do the best job. Maybe phyr and mars are more active on the offsite and I'm a newcomer, however i have been active here on buzzerbeater for about 14 seasons in between two teams, with a small break in between due to lack of internet. I have experience, and I believe i am the best choice for the job, but it is a democracy for a reason, so vote for whoever you think would do the best job.
