I hope you appreciate how slow the training for OD and PA is going to be...


It's a little quicker when you have 18 year olds as opposed to geriatrics with walking frames :P

3 pops in OD...I'd expect 3 weeks per pop minimum. And same for passing.
I could be wrong though and maybe it is quicker than that, but height truly slows things down a lot, and when cross training was introduced it slowed down primary training even more I believe.

From memory, Yoda has a level 6 trainer. It will be interesting to see how this 18 yr old trains...

hmm true could be a lot quicker with a level 6 trainer. Hopefully it turns out to be a great player!
Could even get lucky and the player might have high sublevels already in OD and Passing which would speed up the process a lot!

Well week one and he popped in REB so that was great. The next few weeks are one on one for forwards which may be a bit difficult to do but whatever I am up for the challenge.

It's taken me about two seasons to get my 6'9" guy to this point:

Jump Shot: prolific
Outside Def.: respectable
Passing: proficient

(still working on that OD)

So it does take a loooong time. But it's worth it, IMO, to have a guy that's a little outside the usual build.

That seems slow but where did they start? I am interested to hear how fast the pops were. I know Iwen said that even at age 22 Dellasta was getting OD pops every three weeks so I hope for the same at worst for Ahmed.

My guy is a little older, so I'd say it is about 4-5 weeks by age 25.

18 vs 25 isn't what I would call "a little" older.

Yeah that sounds about right

OD pops every two weeks for younger players..18/19 with the right height
and about 3 weeks for 20+ players.. even at 23 abimbola was popping regularly every 3 weeks
JS definitely slows down with age though...about 2-3 weeks when they're 18/19..and stretching out to 5 weeks when they are 22/23
