Wow! We did real well! Hope this means our NT's will be looking good in the future!

Woohoo! Evan Rose is exciting! BTW SammyD, I will certainly be starting him now! Get some training minutes in and hopefully he will improve in Defence. His MVP potential really lets me work on his core interior game. Very good sign for future!

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: pitiful

Has potential to be very good player, any tips on training? Thinking bout ID but what you guys think?

my advice to you... sell him to me!!!

the way i see it.... ignore jump range and outside defend for starters.

JumpShot = Ignore
Jump range = Dont touch
OD = dont touch
Handling = do 1 v 1 training 1 or 2 week
Driving = do 1 v 1 training for a weeks same as above (note: do 1 v 1 forward training, handling and driving increase faster)
passing = next season ^_^
IS = Focus on it
ID = Focus on it
RB = let it pop once or twice this season
SB = don't touch
Stamina Don't touch for now.
FT= ignore it till off season or all star break.


EXP : what can you do about it ^_^


ao far that i can see.... his salary were mostly all came from Rb and SB >.<
SB is a bad stats to have due to ineffetive + high salary usage

you really need to get the handling and driving up a bit. ignore passing for now^_^


this is my trainee Center from last season try to base of it, try to get better than him in every aspect of his game

I would like to know how I should train this player. Would love advise from experienced managers. Currently playing at PF.

im not experienced but... i can help you with the basic ^_^ might need sammy or namssor pick up what i've missed

first, looking at his stats and height, i dont think pf is a good choice =(

level 1 IS makes it really hard.... im thinking he could be a good outside base SF
or a pure SG with level 7 RB skill ^_^, i call them rebound guard =D

he got good rebound and jump shot (core for good SF) note : exclude the defense
and his defend is mediocre and average those are the one you need to train on.

if you want to make him SF = train both defense up
if SG = just focus OD.



i think just average his game up for now, make him a jack of all trait. and start specializing next season. his stats is all over the place right now.



things to do this season.

Train your stamina on all star break = this is a must, i find STM > FT. you have 1/5 chance for this player of going to the line anyway >.<


things not to do
SB training
IS training
FT training (do Stamina instead)

unless you are desperate, don't start him this season, jump play scrim 48min. that handling and passing, FT and IS( if he's playing at PF) is going to cost you a lot of game.




there's soo much possibilities with this player, is easy to screw up. but the reward will be sweet ^_^
surprise everyone next season ^_^

sry justa quick review, ganna go shower and such, give smmy and namssor Private Massage, they'll help you out.

Do a bit of 1 on 1 forwards training while he's young Tmac, get his handling and driving to a decent level then just go hard on ID, ID and RB. Don't worry about SB as that just balloons his salary for little gain. I wouldn't worry to much about passing but if you want to pop it a couple of times I suggest doing it in his first season :P

I'd start with ID, but rotate the 3 skills (ID, IS, REB) equally. At the young age you need to get a good base for all the important skills. His guard skills are so bad you're pretty much resigned to making him a Center.

HDog, Dougal has a weird mix of skills. He also has an unfortunate height, he's in between big man and guard (though I think height is a bit overrated, look at Del Smith a few posts above and how fast he's popped in big man skills). He could really be anything you want, depending on what your team needs are, and what your other young trainees are skilled in. I'd probably go with either SF or guard, but then again I'm a guard trainer :-) He could also be a good defensive PF/C.

In summary, he could be whatever you want him to be. Nice to have that kind of flexibility lol.

Evan Rose should definitely be trained by 1 position in bigman skills... If you want him to be able to help you right away, training him 1 position is the way to go... Go ID first, then after pop go to RB, then after RB pop go to IS... After that Go back to ID training... Find him a suitable training partner... Preferably another rookie big... I saw a rookie Kiwi big on sale the other day.. If I was training bigs I would have grabbed him immediately... By next season, he could have triple prominent in bigman skills and if lucky enough, maybe a few prolific stats...
