You should train him some One on One, cause it lifts up Jump Shot, Handling and Driving pretty fast... I see you trained Outside Def the most, and that's a good choice... He could really become a great SF, if you decide to switch to big men training in a couple of seasons...

Don't worry about height and Handing, he's not that tall for a guard... I have a 198 cm tall PG with wondrous Handling...

Yeah i like him too, but to train him as SF u need at least an other player to train with him. Waste so many weeks of training just 1 player its a shame. Find an other 1 similar even with less potential to train with him

i feel sorry for you mate, you ask a normal question and get treated like you are a total morron. than to make things worse other people hijack your post and as far as I can see, you have only have had 1 usefull answer.

I agree with the usefull asnwer...

You overpaid for this player, and I made a similar misstake. I bought a SF for 500k and sold him for 750k. Due to proper training and putting him on the transfer market at the right time.

Like the other guy that adviced you, this player isnt lost or untrainable and like him I train guards...

I would first train him to a decent Outside defense skill level, off course make sure you have atleast 3 or 4 other guard trainees that you can train. Than in rotation train JS, driving, handling and once in a while jump range and he will become a decent player in 2 seasons. Than you can surely make a small profit or break even. Dont forget, in the same time you trained 4 hopefully better trainees, so overall you dont need to be too disappointed with your buy...

secondly you are in your first season and this makes things even alot less worse, you are in a low league and if trained properly this player will carry you surely until the 3rd if not 2nd division...

Still he will make a bigger profit from buying a well balanced player and train that player as that player can be as good as 18 year old without the weak skills as this guy got.

And I certainly don't see anyone treating him as a moron either. He just was told that it was a poor use of money and that it would probably be as good to sell and buy a rather cheap draft pick that probably is better and also possible to much faster form to be a really interesting player.

Well its a good start, with some nice tools to work but some big holes too. Training SF's can be very tricky, and you know some players need 2 trainers to fulfill there potential. I am big men trainer, and i had a 6'3 C, with some nice outside skills. So i trained him for 2 years as a big man, and then i sold him to an other Cypriot who is training guards. With that way Cyprus NT will have soon a very complete SF, who can play 3-4 positions. He will not master anything but he will be very good in many areas. Training big men its easier couz u have less skills to train but much more expensive couz there salary going up with very high rate. Now i am looking a big guard (lets say 6'8) with some nice inside skills to buy, and train him with my other big men, and then i will have the SF that i need. I think that this is the best way to train players and have some profit, without messing u r training plan, but maybe its just me with that kind of thinking.

Anyway the ideal for me is to have 5-6 trainable players, and every year sell 1 and get money to fill the position that u dont train. An other thinking is to train 1 position with much faster results, but less players to sell. I am thinking to do that by the middle of the next season since my PF is getting old, and i have 3 really talented big men to work with. But this tactic i think that is applying more on the teams that are already strong, having big arenas and they play on the higher divisions. They are also some ''farm teams'' that the only reason of there existence is to train players for there NT's. On your position i would chose to train 5 players. I hope that i helped you a lil

i disagree. the player is trainable and than sellable with profit.

we dont need to argue about this really, the fact that other people said in this same post that the guy who opened the thread was treated quite harshly (this is not a quote before i am being told again noone used the word harshly), there must be some truth in what I was saying. secondly you can try and refuse to understand what I was trying to say with "morron", or as so many times happen on these forums exactly read what I am saying and understanding it as such, instead off trying to understand what I am getting at. We dont all have english as our main language and arent all capable to punctuate exactly what we are trying or would like to say. In such cases a little bit reading between the lines would be very much appreciated. From now on I will email players directly to avoid these misunderstandings from others when they dont understand or dont want to try and understand what I am getting at...

I agree that player is trainable. I just think that there are many more interesting players to train that much faster could become a high quality player. And should also remember that player is 20 in two weeks and will then be two years behind new drafts that already are better than this player besides the potential that I doubt will be possible to get close to.

But yes he is trainable but I still think that other players are preferable and then for an cheaper sum as well.

lol

thanks for the help :)
