Ok,so I guess OD to 10? Thats only 6 more weeks.

I really want to encourage some managers, to train their own drafts or search for '19yo garbage' on the transferlist which nobody else wants. trust in your trainees, give 'em time to develop.

i want to give you another update on my 'best', because favourite trainee. put a lot of work into him. he improves slowly and isn't much better than some 18yo premium drafts. still i love him:

"He is crap, both are crap, potential is to low!, starting skills are to low!" most of you thought.

tell u what? i'll just give 'em time. both will contibute, augsburger already does, helping my ballclub get into extratime and win my away-tv-game yesterday with a key stop and a key 3pointer in the final 1:20 of regular time.

guess what? i gave 'em time ;-)

my 2 cents

Augsburger will drive you crazy when he caps way too early - been there done that, with one of my own allstar draftees... xD

well, obviously he wont get an international player or a regular starter for my ballclub, but he will contribute. a ballclub is more than the regular starting5, there are cup games, there are injuries, there are different tactics.
i know what u want to say and i know the cap isnt that far away with some pops in his main-skills as an pf. but i know what i do, or at least i think so ;-) if he caps, he caps. life goes on.

btw: from what i know now i'd give distler a different skillset than he has now or e.g. train od/ps/is 2more levels before i max out his js and rebounding skill.

my point is: here are div.V managers, thinking the trainee HAS2HAVE superstar+, optimal height, a 7 in all starting skills, is not older than 20 etc. and in my opinion this is just wrong.

get a training plan, trust in your trainees, give 'em time ;-)
