The message that gets sent about NT potential triggers based on certain wage or potential. His highish wage would have triggered the message.

star potential have made U-21 NT b4, i dont see why cant he make U-21 if he doesnt suffer any injury until 21.

i dont get how he cant make the U21 team yes skills maybe low but his potential is enough for U21.... all star caps anywhere between 70-90k and i knw u guys had the best team last yr but there were a lot of guys under that so he can definitely make u21 with all star

Except Allstars cap around 50k nowadays.

Still, I think an allstar can make it to the U21, especially if he's a Forward. He won't improve beyond that point, but that shouldn't be too surprising.

Unfortunately he can't be trained as forward because of Atrocious defense. The only role I see for him is a SG or poor man's SF that has to be switched to SG on defense. Pitiful DR is a pity so you would have to focus on his shooting, but JR eats the potential like no other skill and that's another blind end. So I really don't have any idea how to train this guy in order to be at least a bench U21 player.

It was a more general statement about the possibility of allstar U21 players, not necessarily about this particular guy. I agree this one would have a hard time catching up on the defensive end.

maybe this guy will be borderline but do nts really turn away 40-50k guys with good secondaries?

i think if u train him right he could be useful

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

you cant improve the id but u can make him a good combo guard 2 get the most out of his potential

u should be able 2 get wondrous js & od
senastional dr & pa
prominent jr, ha and most important is
salary $42,342


i think if u can make him that he would be a very interesting combo guard 4 the nt

allstar cap is not high enough for what you describe.

he is an average 30k guard that will be servicable for seasons to come but I think you will be hardpress to reach what fishy describe unless your using a lvl 6 trainer and no injuries.

ill run it through the potential calculator later & see if u r right

i know this is very close 2 the potential limit so maybe 1-2 pops less

if he were to reach 14 OD then he would end up more like this at the start of 21

JS 14 JR 8
OD 14 HA 8
Dr 7 PA 7


JS would take an entire season, not to mention DR will take more than 1 season to get to 12

and he would be near to cap and training would start slowing down a bit.

cant agree

starting here

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

1 season = 14 weeks of od = roughly 7 pops in od maybe only 6 should get at least a dr & a ha secondary pop (8 pops in a season easy)
1 season of 1on1 = 14 weeks should get about 6 dr pops and 4-5 in ha & js (16 pops in a season of 1on1 doable)
1 season of pa/jr = hopefully 3 jr pops & 5 pa pops probably a secondary pop in each of js, ha & dr (11 pops in a season easy)

cant see that i am tryin to make any sort of amazing targets here

this gives u
js 12 jr 8
od 13 ha 13
dr 10 pa 10

& u still have an entire spare season to do theis & the last things u need but will need to watch the passing & handling or he may become a pg and cap 2 early

but as i said the inside shot will be tough & that may take a whole season to get the 5 pops, but u would also expect at least a js pop as a secondary

naturally 2 make the usa u21 team u will need really good training much better than the easy goals i detailed but i think the targets i set were realistic if u move the dr down and the ha up
