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.
