Thanks for the advise bud.
I created a team composed of 19-21 year olds, so yes all but one of my players are trainees.
I was planning to create a long haul team, like the San Antonio Spurs and train everyone as fast as possible. Based on the answers in similar forums I looked into and how the manual explained training, however, I doubt that would happen. Now it seems I have to choose on whether I focus on the bigs or smalls.

Again, thanks for the advise. I played this game back in 2009 but got bankrupt after four seasons (and left the game until 3-5 months ago).

I'm not sure who told you not to invest in the draft when you are in a bot league... back to the text books for them.

Good pick ups there, were they the best one in your whole draft or did the bots snag a couple of jems as well?

Great picks! If you're bold, then you can try to one-position train all three of them together to make them the cornerstones of your team. It would be excellent for merchandising.

Not an amazing prospect but I could see him turning into a mighty fine PF. I got him with the 14th pick and only spending 40k on the draft this season. Is he worth the 40k I spent?

Obviously his passing and OD needs some help but that works in nicely with my 20yo trainees plan. His overall skills are very nice though. All around shooter with no flaws in his big man core (IS,REB,ID,SB) The driving, handing, and outside shooting is all amazing. Once I can get his OD and passing up to average i think we will be set.

First guy has 51 TSP and is pretty well off save for that OD.

Second guy has 46 TSP and has some major problems in primaries outside of shooting.

Third guy has 50 skill points and his biggest issue will honestly be his passing.

I would probably grind One vs One first. It will allow for easy training on all three, and all three have plenty of skills to pop amongst DR and HA. I'd probably let the 3rd player go at some point, his 1 in PA doesn't mesh well with any position on the court without training, and with a 7 and 5 amongst your other two guys, it's probably not going to make it to the 5 or 6 as a secondary for a PF.

I'd probably shoot to have all of the first two players guard skills fixed in the first season, and depending on your aspirations for the u21 or your team you could build up inside or outside skills more past that (the first two would probably need to grind OD/PA after one vs one to make it, but if you commit to it, it's possible).
