I suppose it would.

Are you just stating that or saying maybe I should do some training that would effect his IS?

Thanks for pointing it out! Still kinda learning lol

Puts you at a wee bit of a crossroads. Your SG could really use that IS training to become a more efficient scorer, but your SF certainly needs his outside skills refined. Hard to train both in that way. Might consider selling one, or adapting your offensive scheme to fit both more properly. Complicated because your SF is definitely better in an inside offense, where your SG would struggle, and it's the opposite for an outside-oriented offense.

I would stick with OD well after your SG gets to sensational. I'd try to get him to wondrous/marvelous if you can. And if the minutes ever end up getting messed up, I'd train JS. These players are looking pretty good though.

I mainly play inside, I have a good PF and C, with a decent backup PF and a random backup C (strongs and stuff).

My outside players are these two, my other SF (not that good inside skills, mainly outside) and a pretty good PG. The backup PG and SG are mostly prominents all round. With the odd prolific (SG in JS and PG in OD).

As I usually play an inside game, I may give it a go to up the SG's IS which would also benefit the SF, and when he gets a bit better in that I shall move back to concentrating on my outer skills.

To best benefit my players, I suppose I should do something like forwards 1 on 1's as I think that trains IS as well as the upper skills. But that does take 4-5 weeks a pop, so maybe I will train Centres and have my PG playing in my friendly for it, and that way I can slightly improve my PF and get some better inside stats on my SF. So all of his skills would be prominent+ except SB, as I will get his JR up as well later on most likely.

May be a bit weird to train his IS, but if it will help his game, then so be it!

IS on a guard needs to be roughly 7-8 to be worthwhile. Assuming that the SF is mostly an inside SF in a look inside sort of setup, i don't see a massive need to improve all of his outside skills. Why not just work on IS the remainder of the year? the SG is a year younger to boot, so theres no saying you cant go work on his outside skills a year past what your working on the SF for.

Apologies for not replying, I was mid posting my message and didn't notice yours.

I do plan to get his OD to more than Sensational, but it is just that I would mostly go back to it at a later stage after getting it to sensational.

@FuriousSK:

7-8. Ouch.

That would take a while, but he has MVP potential, so wont hit his soft cap (I still barely know how potential works:D), and it is pretty low compared to the other stats that are being trained.

@Everyone:

Correct me if I am wrong (as I am not 100% sure about this, but it would make sense from my experiences), but if a player has low IS, and you train Inside Shooting, which (I think) trains inside shot at (for example) 1-2 weeks, and ID at 4-5 weeks and RBD at 4-5 weeks (random numbers lol), then they would train IS at like, 110% of the speed that it should, and the others at 90%?

I know those figures are probably complete rubbish, but I read something about an elastic band effect or something, which gets lower skills to catch up with the higher ones when training a few stats at a time.

So if that is correct, then he shouldn't take too long at all as his other inside skills are quite a bit higher than his IS.

7-8 wouldn't take that long even out of position. You have 4 weeks after tomorrow to get two pops. thats not too hard. It'd probably take 1-2 more to get the 3rd pop up to inept. That'll help the SF too. As someone else came in and said, both do need to get better at OD minimum, and driving would also need some help.
Me personally? I might be on the lookout for a PF that can be trained in the outside stuff to become a good SF, and you can likely sell the SF to make up for it. but it is your team, and you've now got a few ideas.

Yeah I will give it a go, probably wouldn't try and sell my SF though, but will definitely sort out his inside stats a bit.

Yeah I think I will do the inside training part with letting him tag along. Then I shall swap over to OD/1on1's.

This will give me a chance to get my PG to Marvelous OD as I stopped his training last season at wondrous (as buzzer-manager said he hit his cap, so thought I may as well stop there). (he is 11/10/14/13/13/14)

Thank you for your input, wasn't thinking of doing anymore on either of their passing, but I guess it is a good idea. I have nothing much to focus on apart from these two with the odd other trainee to tag along. Other people who could tag along is the before mentioned PG (but as I said he is softcapped) and two backup 21 year olds (backup SG=10/11/11/10/6/8 Backup PG=8/7/11/9/10/9)

And for any inside training my tag along would be one of these guys-> PF=9/14/12/13 (JS/IS/ID/RBD) C=15/12/12 (IS/ID/RBD backup PF=8/12/10/13 (JS/IS/ID/RBD). Most likely the PF as he gets just more shots than the C with just less minutes, and make mores shots as well. So seems like a good idea to give him the extra IS training. But he is 26 and the C is 24, so maybe it isn't a good idea to do him. And according to buzzer-manager, the PF is 90-100% complete, and the C is 92-100% complete. My backup is one 70-75% though. So touch choice. Probably just for for the PF.

I probably should use the forums a bit more to find out what stats are actually good for what positions to fully understand. I have a decent idea but as with the SG and passing thing I wasn't really aware it needed to/could be useful to have it any higher than it was.

Thanks again for the input!
