Hi,

I have 3 young players with HoF potential so I would like to know what is your idea for training program (what the final values for positons).

What tacticts do you prefer?

Thank you for answer

of course it depends on their skillset...

i know that the acual meta push to use 3-2 defense with couple of stopper and 3 excellet scorer, but imho i prefer choosing tactics basing on our and our opponent's players

Hi, I'm former Czech NT Manager and I won't participate in the election this time. I'd like to explain you situation of our NT. It was on purpose to concetrate just for several years of players. The top of the generation was last two seasons. That is why our team looks little bit old. Anyway this EC I think we can still fight for the first two position in group with Spain, Hungary and Portugal. Some player have already finished your NT career, some 35yo can do it in few weeks. So the roster will be little short this season and injuries or bad game shape of any key player could affect the team strength a lot.
The last strong age of this generation is 32yo then there are two players 31yo and there are very few youngers as 30yo, 29yo because it was our plan to concentrate good managers for training of the players of similar age. And finally it went excelent, we won the silver medal last EC.
Next generation begans at 22yo, we have quite a lot good prospect of this age and 21yo, 20yo and 19yo as well and we will see what we can do with trainees from last draft.

But I think you didn't understand the question of Lukainos. Do you have any plan how to train these young players. These player still can train anythink, so the question is in your eyes what are ideal skills for you for every position? Maybe for some position you can have several options of optimal skillset. The inspiration could be something like this (316385.28) but we would like to know your optimal skillsets and training plan.

The other question is - do you want to be our NT coach just 2 season or do you have any long term plan?

Hi, can you answer the same questions that I asked to the other candidate in this message (327821.5)?
Thank you

hi coach

The following profiles are a target span of what we look for in NT
It doesn't mean that a player is called up just because he reaches these values, it depends on competition etc... and on how the game evolves
Furthermore, it should be considered that these are "basic" profiles. There are many variations, for example, if one wanted a more specialist external player, one could sacrifice a bit of IS to have more JR, or focus on more defensive profiles etc...

P & G
JS 22+, JR 12
OD 21+, HA 21+
DR 22+, PA 11+
IS 21+, ID x
RB x, BL x


SF
JS 18+, JR 10+
OD 21+, HA 20+
DR 20+, PA 12+
IS 20+, ID 20+
RB x, BL x

CLASSIC C
JS 14-, JR x
OD 17+, HA 19+
DR 19+, PA 14+
IS 18+, ID 19+
RB 14+, BL 8+

To be noted: focus on minimaze JS pops which have a huge impact on CAP without having a real benefit

STOPPER
JS x, JR x
OD 17+, HA 14+
DR x, PA 16+
IS 7-, ID 20+
RB 17+, BL 20+

To be noted: focus on minimaze IS pops in order to let ID, SB and RB grow as much as possible

Facilities and staff
Coaching a national team level player requires investment and consistency. Here's what you need:



Youth coach (mandatory for 18/19 year olds) – Low cost, salary approximately 20k/week
Level 6 or higher recommended. (best time to take it: the two to three weeks following ASG)

It is also advisable or useful to have:

Gym level 3 – Cost 1M + 15k/week maintenance

Training camp level 1/3 – Cost 500k/1M + 5/15k per week
(it is used to train free throws, otherwise never trained)

For those who want all the precautions:

Doctor level 4 or higher – Low cost (even under 100k), maintenance 8–15k/week
Injuries at 18–20 years old are very dangerous: even just 3-4 weeks off means 20% of a key season

Nutritionist level 4 or higher – Low cost, maintenance 8–15k/week
Saves time on future resistance training. If the kid starts out with low stamina, it may not help

Hey Bryce!

I like the idea with the Super Stopper, it could add a new tactical dimension although it's yet to be seen how often they would be playing indeed. Might also need a manager or two that specializes in building those players as opposed to the regular smaller NT shot blockers who also have OD.

Just a question - are the builds you mentioned in any relation to potential? Because there's the thing that some players can get a worse RNG roll with potential and for example one HoF (pot 10) player can get "stuck" in training a little earlier than another. For example the SF build above equals to 161 TSP, which is obviously very much possible but sometimes there may be a delay in training for various reasons

I think your skills requirements for NT players are impossible to achieve. It looks very nice, but we should be more realistic. We have quite experienced managers, but no one of them were capable to train player like you describe.

We had few players with TSP 160+ but no one of them were close to you skill requirements. I mean especially PG/SG and SF players, that you mentioned. Our best SF had TSP 166, but he was far away from OD 22, IS 21 and ID 19. Same we can say about the guards. Our best guard in the past had OD 21 and IS 21 and you talk about guard with OD at least 22 and IS also at least 22.

I train a long time Czech players for our NT, so I know what I'm talking about. So we can dreaming about players like you describe, but reality is miles away.

For guards I don't agree with you, it's possible we just didn't have these goals wtih our last generation.
For SF I saw JS 22 little bit problematic it means this player would be guard with good rebound for guard but in my opinion bad for SF. But I think it's ok if he says for some tactics I will use guard with rebounds as SF.
