I'm sorry, but considering his Atrocious JR and Awful Passing, coupled with the complete lack of OD or ID at the age of 19, I don't see how he's gonna make the team. Dell'Asta (my SF trainee) was far ahead by the same age.

Either you spend all season training OD and JR, or it ain't gonna work out. Will still be a good player for you though.

How's my 18yo pointguard looking. Fresh out of the draft.

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: awful Handling: respectable
Driving: respectable Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: awful Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: strong

I'll be 1 position training OD for a few weeks, then getting the passing up I reckon. Any chance in a couple of seasons?

That JR really hurts if you want him to be a guard but without knowing his height and potential it's kinda hard to tell if he's got even a remote chance.

I'll assume that that's Bains? He has an outside shot I guess. Probably your best shot is to turn him into a PG, since his JR is gonna be to hard to get to a decent level. I would recommend spending pretty much the whole season on his OD though, that's really letting him down atm.

You would definitely want a couple more outside defence pops if you want him to be consistently getting U21 national game time next season since we got a strong crop of guards coming up next season.

Both are equally important. So try and get about another 2 pops in outside defence, handling and passing.

I would appreciate people's thoughts on my new rookie.

I am going to 1 position train this whole season with lev4 trainer (will save up for lev 5 half way through season hopefully) except for 1on1 for maybe a couple of weeks, and stamina. He already has 48+ mins this week (thanks to that scrim with the Kynlala Knights, iwen) for rebounding - so I am hoping for a pop before the season starts! :) U21 potential?

That's a tough one. Your only problem is that the atrocious/pitifuls are in really bad spots.

With Atrocious OD/Handling and Pitiful JS, you'd have to work really hard to make him anything more than a C but his height doesn't really help with quick big man training unfortunately.
I guess if you gave him a little OD training just to get it off the floor and some focused JS training at some point then he could be a decent PF as well.

Similar thoughts with Direwolf, definitely given his height he would make a better PF than C since you won't receive the same training speed as the 7 footers.

That would mean you would need to spend at least one season trying to get jump shot, outside defence and handling to around about inept/medicore level for him to be a good PF.

Of course, that's up to you however if you just purely train him as a C then I would give him about a moderate chance of making the future U21 squad. This will really depend on how much talented big men we will have available to pick from.
