5 pops so far, training inside skills until he is at least 21, obviously making him a C. Hopefully I can get him onto the U21 team. He probably won't make NT, because of his potential.

I would want more OD and PA on him. It doesn't matetr what kind of gaurd he is , but he needs minimum 13 OD in 21 y.o. season. I would train OD for teh rest of the season and then 1 vs 1 again. I forgot waht 1 vs 1 does, but looks like it's doing good for you. OD for the rest of the season can put 8 minimum (hopefully). In him 21 y.o. season it would be awesome if he had these stats:

Pure PG:

JS:13
JR:9
OD:16
HA:15
DR:14
PA:14

Not the best 21 y.o. Pure, but an awesome one! IDK the builds for U21, but I think he can fit in there

PG/SG (combo Gaurd)

JS:14
JR:10
OD:15
HA:13
DR:12-14
PA:11-15

Pure SG:

JS:16
JR:14
OD:15
HA:12
DR:15
PA:10


I might be wrong on MOST of these stats, but I don't really know about U21 gaurds.

From what I always hear, NEVER train Jump Range, it trains secondarily with other things.

Yeah, if i'm correct, outside shooting can do jump range AND jump shot. Example, my 2nd-best trainee had a pop in jump range when i was training outside shooting........ wait, i think i meant it wrong. it's jump shot,not outside shooting. Am I right, Troy?

Yes, but that won't come until he is 22.

Yes, but that won't come until he is 22.

Which means it won't come. You're not seriously going to be paying a guy 50k+/week and then play him with *that* OD and passing 48 minutes per week at PG.

But in the short weeks, I can and probably will give him secondary training.
