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!

what a superb rookie, start training big man skills now if u want him to make the U21 side

and keep the big man skills balanced (IS, ID, rebound, block) all within 5 levels of each other with block being the lowest.

if u want, u can train passing to respectable at most while hes still young, then concentrate on big man skills the rest of
the way. he will prolly still make the U21 side even if u do that.

play him for 48 mins at PG in a scrimmage game and train 1 position passing for about a month.

Looks like a good player. I'd say he'll struggle to make the U21 as a centre or a pure big man due to his low IS, but he looks like an interesting SF type prospect and is probably a real chance to make it if you go down that path.

There would be a couple of ways you could go with him in the long run I guess:

You could ignore his IS, and get his other skills up with a focus on his defensive (both inside and outside) Jump shooting skills. Would make him a nice SF, or even a PF in an outside offense at a pinch.

Alternatively, could get his IS up, and make him a well rounded PF type.

I'm inclined to think that option #1 would give him the best chance at the U21s.

If you go with the first option, for now I'd pump up his passing to ressy, then work on his ID for a bit.

If you want to keep him balanced, I'd start hammering away on his IS, with maybe some passing training later in the season if you get the chance.

SG =P

more OD, passing and one on one training.

I suggest making him a SG who is also capable of playing SF if we use an outside offense. So maybe a level of rebounding, 2 levels of ID then onto his guard skills.

Grouse stuff blokes,

yeah so I'll be doing his IS for a bit, I'll let youse all know how it goes.

A brief update on the U21 teams progress for those of you who are not on the offsite forums

We've asembled what I think is a nice group of players together, who can hopefully get us to the world cup. Things are going along pretty well as planned so far, we are comfortably through to the 2nd round without dropping a game as yet. Thanks to all the managers of the players who have kept the players in good game shape so far.

I'll be looking to add some more players to the team, probably starting in a few weeks (we have a few spots free). For those with players on the fringe of selection, keep training your guys up, and feel free to update me on their progress. And make sure to keep your guys in good game shape ;)

Alright being relatively new to the whole game and all I think I fared pretty well with some of the auto-generated players given to me from the beginning. Just need some advise on where to head to in terms of training and what I could expect out of these guys.

Also concerning the U21 NT, what would be expected out of a player to be eligible to play in it?

Work on inside defense for a couple of weeks, that's the hardest skill to train.

OMG yet another example of a completly stupidly good start up team. One 18 year old with reasonable potential and 5K starting salary would be insane, but to then get another one who plays the same position, 5K starting salary and has MVP potential...

This is so unfair on those teams that start with like one 18 year old who has 3K salary and 6th man potential and their best player is a 6K 32 year old.

Ok back on topic, you have two of the best startup players I have ever seen. Buy a level 4 trainer right away, train them single position with 48+ minutes every week and in a couple of seasons you will have two truly amazing players who may make the U21 team and one who could some day make the national team.
