I agree with the previous post completely. I would focus a little more on One on One than Rebounding because as Klinkman said those low driving skills are going to cause some issues. Those secondary pops will also help a great deal to make them a little more well rounded.

Thank You, I have already bought one new trainee.

I like the first guy but I wouldn't waste another minute training the 2nd and 3rd guys. They are way behind where you would want a 20 year old trainee to be. You could find a couple of 18 year old bigs with similar skills for very little on the waiver wire.

Remember that the older they get, the slower they train and their best training years are already lost.

OK I have looked and see that there are good trainees at 18 years old for under 20k for most and I will try to obtain one.

Look around long enough and you'll definitely get some decent ones in your price range. Just don't get into a bidding war.

I have bought these two for 5k each. I was wondering what to train them in with the first player and should I keep the others to train the one on one for forwards like Klinkman and Draco Thornton said or train something else and sell those other two players. I am training game shape this week.

Thank you, any help is appreciated.

Would it be better for taller players with less potential for training big men?

I have not really started training yet so I will start to train guards.

I have bought some guards and a PF I want to train as a guard because I have ok bigs compared to my league. What should I train them in.

I know the secondaries are not the best and I was going to train Driving because it is low and seems to help alot in the tactics I use whch is mostly Patient to start with but is this the right choice.
