Hey blokes and g'day Naka

my digger here is real similar to yours and has made heaps good progress this year looks like they may be gunnin for the same spot on the u21 team one day

Small Forward
Owner: West Island Tigers

DMI: 66100
Age: 18
Height: 7'0" / 213 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: proficient
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: awful
Driving: inept Passing: inept
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: atrocious Free Throw: mediocre
Experience: pitiful

Your bloke has much better inside skills but I've been working more on the outside. I want one more pop in passing and two more in each of handling and driving then it is 100% full time big man training.

Any suggestions? I was going to do the 1 on 1 for guards not forwards because I hope to also pick up a JS pop if I am lucky but will he learn those skills slower because of his size? What I mean is as a 7 footer will he pop faster doing 1 on 1 for forwards or 1 on 1 for guards or does it make no difference?

Looking good bluebryden and i like your planning for more passing/handling before starting on the big man training.

I would probably go with 1 on 1 for forwards. You'll get some JS training when you switch to big man training and train Inside Shot so you should eventually be able to get a couple of pops there.

Great PF, you might want some passing as well as driving mentioned before. passing matters more in TO number since I noticed that I had a guard with proficient passing but atrocious handling have good amount of Assist to TO. After driving, just pump big man skills hard but If you wan to focus your team around him.. like I suggested raise passing heaps since you will need it for Princeton which rely heavily upon your PF.

Yo well my homeboy right here ZD has had a mighty fine year and is becomming a beast on the courts. I know he is borderline for your Aussie U21 team and will probably miss out but is there anything I can do to give him a shot?

One useful thing would be to know what targets he would need to reach to make the team if he is even in the ball park? Thanks y'all.

He'd need his passing up to at least strong and a lot more OD to even be considered i'd think.

I don't think there are any official "you need to be this tall to go on this ride" sort of things for the U21 team as young players can often be quite different depending on how they're trained early and it just depends on what the team needs a the time i guess.

Well another season of U21s come to end, with a bit of a heartbreaking 4 point loss in the semis.

While my aim is to make the world cup, I'm satisifed in the sense that if I had the game over again, there is nothing that I would do differently. I think we got it tactically right, but were just outclassed by a better team.

We still have the chance to qualify through the repacharge, where I feel we have a good chance (the buzzerbeater draw gods permitting).

I just wanted to thank the managers of this seasons crop of players. Generally we had no game shape issues, and the players were trained well. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of quite a few of these players in the senior team in the seasons ahead.

Also thanks to the managers who contributed to the tactical discussions on the offsite forums. They play a big part in making sure we get the tactics right each week, and opinions there are valued. I again urge everyone with an interest in the team to join there at forum.buzzerbeaterstats.com.

Anyway, onwards to another (hopefully successful) season!

We had a great run this season, thanks for all your hard work Mllama!

I hope you're still coach when my PG is ready for the U21.

Ye i agree, you did a great job you kinda rebuilt the team and have your own way of working things, fortunately it looks like we have quite a few good guards coming through so them coupled with our regularly good big men should be a force to be reckoned with.

The semi game was a pity but hey, maybe next season right :)

also i saw Nick Hutt got the promotion, so thanks :)

Excellent job on the U21 team mllama, I will vote for you again and again, til you get sick of it LOL

Yeah it was a pity we lost by 4 points in the semis, but we got out done by a better team on the day. Looking forward to the next crop of young U21 studs who will take us to places where he have never been before.

You didn't use Cranshaw in the semis, that's why you lost by 4 ! :p

Good luck for the next season ;-)
