Yes, he can fire kaplan, but that leaves no pg, unless he wants to have one of his shooting guards to play PG.
Again, the Polish guy. It's like he doesn't exist to you.
Werner and Desmond should both be trained, so why not do JS training?
I'm still trying to see how JS training on a SF and PF benefits a new team that's training big men more than training IS would. While we're at it, he's going to need some offensive flow, so why not train passing?
You're building a long-term training plan here. He has the players with the skills (I'm assuming) and potential to become the type of player that will still be relevant in higher divisions. His goal should be to build a few good and great players, not a handful of strong/proficient guys.
Unless you want to completely rely on inside scoring and inside defense, why not give the team some outside strength? If he relies on inside skills, other teams will easily just use 2-3 zone defense and Run and Gun offense and exploit the teams outside skills.
If he trains well enough, he can almost rely on rebounding to win him those sorts of games.
Outside skills aren't that hard to come by, and if he's patient and invests his money into arena expansion while his bigs become really good, he'll easily be able to afford quality perimeter defenders to buttress his inside men.
He can train cooper and Villalobos, but they are older so don't train them as heavily.
I can't think of a good reason why not. How is Villalobos being 20 so much older than his top trainee, Sotelo, who is 19, or the 20yo Buffington, who you claim should be trained? And Cooper has a salary over 5k and 8 potential, so I doubt training him would do any harm at all, even if he is 22. Besides, he's 6'11", so he's (very slightly) more suited to training inside skills with Sotelo than the 6'7" Bowden.
Why not get a PG or SG to train? He doesn't need to train a Pg or SG right after he has been drafted, so why not get one. He can train him after the allstar-break next season. He doesn't have very good PG's and Sg's right now, so might as well train one.
So, what you're saying is, train Sotelo for about 16 weeks, then stop and train guards? So when he's 20.5 years old, Sotelo should be a finished product, and the OP should move on to training guards? Correct me if I'm misunderstanding you.
Plus, a SG is basically your source of outside skills, and a PG creates shots for the team. It's not like Sotelo is going to be trained to be in NT, so why just focus on him?
Because he's the best trainee the kid has, and if he doesn't spend
at least 3 seasons on him, it's a waste. If the better idea is to follow your plan, he should just start training that 18yo 2k salary 7 potential kid and sell everyone else right now. By the time the middle of next season rolls around, Kaplan could be a decent 19yo prospect.
A $700 more salary does not mean that much. Kaplan is also a PG, so he will most likely perform better than the Pole at that position.
Did you bother to note that the Pole is also listed as a PG? (I'm talking about Robaszyński. The Polish guy. This one:
(18590946).) So, unless you know the skills of the players, it's impossible to tell.
And yes, in all fairness, you're right; $700 salary doesn't mean that much, as it could be buried in RB skill and we'd never know without a peek at the skills of the players in question.
