Yeah, i didn't think about improving his handiling but i'll work on that. I just want my centers to have good inside def, inside shot, shot blocking, free throw and rebounding. All at least strong, if not higher than strong for some.

Well, i'd hate to dump him because he's a rookie, but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks guys! The good thing is I have another trainee who is 6'8 who already has decent outside skills with his good inside skills. The bad thing is, he only has star potential and I don't know how much more he can grow. He's only 20 but has a salary of $17,824. Can I expect many outside pops for him?

how do you think i should train this guy?

You should work on his outside defense, it won't take long for him to have strong outside defense or higher. That's a good trainee. Oh yeah and also boost his passing as well.

and this rookie?

he needs better outside defense and handling, at least for now.

ultimately, it might be a good idea to train both of them parallelly - the first one will be more of a PG, while the second one will develop into a nice SG.

First guy his potential limits him to be a great PG but still a decnt one. Train OD and JR. These are the 2 longest skills to pop so better to train them while he is young. After both are at least strong train JS to strong (JS should pop with JR training). Then train OD up another level. After that train as balance as possible till he caps

these are my trainees at the moment, what are your thoughts? i know theyre a bit underskilled considering the fact that 6 weeks have passed since the draft.. but i got player 1 for a nickle and player 2 was my draft pick. what do u think, should i drop Player 2 and add someone with more potential? or what should i do. they're both training to be C-s .. maybe even PFs, but their jump shot is low and it would take a fair amount of time to get it up to a satisfying level.

thank you.
