Was good to see Harry step up this game.
Do we have stats for this season for players?

Someone in Global's not happy with the result at all: (237973.34)

Also in replying to him, I revealed a bit of information about our squad that I probably shouldn't have, my apologies. Wasn't much though.

Its okay, he revealed more info that you did.
and with this..

Why are you going to sit him?
Because he has four fouls.
What happens if you play him?
He might get a fifth foul.
What happens if he gets a fifth foul?
Then we'll have to sit him.
So, you're sitting him so you don't have to sit him?
Correct.
Aren't you just handing yourself the punishment ahead of time, without actually earning it?
Um … he has four fouls.

haha its gold.

I'm pretty sure that is word for word taken from a truehoop article from a while back.

Hey guys, just wondering on how I should train these two, Just looking for advice from the Aussie community. I know their passing and OD needs A LOT of training but to when should I stop training those two. Just a side note - when I screw up my training - I just play them SG and PG so I can train their 1v1 so it's not a waste of a week. Mazzocco has fouled a couple times this season and I'm also not extremely active, so I sometimes forget to set my lineups, and that's why I've trained one on one so much this season. If I haven't been training 1v1, I've been training OD - so that's what my training has looked like thus far.

These were McAdam's starting stats for those who are curious, and his training has been alright so far:

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: mediocre Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: awful Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: awful Free Throw: atrocious

1 pop in OD and no pops in passing for a 18 year old is not great. You need to avoid doing 1on1 so much.
I would focus on the main guy as he is younger and has better potential. If you stuff up training just focus on him and leave the other guy not getting full training.
1on1 is good to do at the end. At a young age you want to focus on the harder skills to train like OD and JR. I would be doing them only for this season and all of next. Then add some passing a bit and you would have a handy player.

Thoughts on current progress of my 18 y/o SF? What should I be hoping for by the end of this season, and is he behind (or about right) for a future NT spot?

He is looking good. Are you wanting him to a inside, outside of balanced focus SF?

For Def if you get his OD to 12 and ID to 10 would be good.
then it depends o how you want him to score. I would go Is to 10 also then focus on his out side scoring to make him a well balanced SF for the 21s.

Something like this by start of 21s would be great.

JS 11 JR 8
OD 12 HN 6
DR 6 PS 8
IS 10 ID 10
RB 5 SB 7

IF you work towards that and speak to Iwen about it he will give you a more focus build that fits your team and would eb a benefit for the 21s. This season ad often in 21s we have lots of PGs, SGs, and Cs and lack SFs and PFs. So a well built SF is always in demand but he must be able to def inside and outside and be a good scoring in at least 1 of them.

Yeah, iwen's given me a good training regime for a few seasons, but I wanted to know how he was progressing - my last SF started slowly (I don't know why) and I've never been able to catch him up!
