Two weeks regularly.

very nice trainees. i like their OD, most people make well-rounded sf''s and they forget that they will mostly face outside minded sf's, actually sg's. So OD is still the most important skill to sf.

ok so i deceded to post my trainees as well-

Should I train some more Shotblocking or is 7 enough for a starting center?

I would train SB, but many consider SB to be rather ineffective & too expensive ... one or two levels in OD wouldn't hurt him in my opinion, while it would still be low for him OD 3 would be a lot better than 1

Here is my new trainee, a French PF that I picked up early in the season:


Weekly salary: $ 4 246

What do you guys think about, besides their low potential of star?

Low Potential! :O Im just kidding :) With their height and potential I would probably make them a PF/SF. Although they are lacking a little in OD and PA, but that can be made up. Also start training REB, but you already knew that. Good trainees :)
