Do a bit of 1 on 1 forwards training while he's young Tmac, get his handling and driving to a decent level then just go hard on ID, ID and RB. Don't worry about SB as that just balloons his salary for little gain. I wouldn't worry to much about passing but if you want to pop it a couple of times I suggest doing it in his first season :P

I'd start with ID, but rotate the 3 skills (ID, IS, REB) equally. At the young age you need to get a good base for all the important skills. His guard skills are so bad you're pretty much resigned to making him a Center.

HDog, Dougal has a weird mix of skills. He also has an unfortunate height, he's in between big man and guard (though I think height is a bit overrated, look at Del Smith a few posts above and how fast he's popped in big man skills). He could really be anything you want, depending on what your team needs are, and what your other young trainees are skilled in. I'd probably go with either SF or guard, but then again I'm a guard trainer :-) He could also be a good defensive PF/C.

In summary, he could be whatever you want him to be. Nice to have that kind of flexibility lol.

Evan Rose should definitely be trained by 1 position in bigman skills... If you want him to be able to help you right away, training him 1 position is the way to go... Go ID first, then after pop go to RB, then after RB pop go to IS... After that Go back to ID training... Find him a suitable training partner... Preferably another rookie big... I saw a rookie Kiwi big on sale the other day.. If I was training bigs I would have grabbed him immediately... By next season, he could have triple prominent in bigman skills and if lucky enough, maybe a few prolific stats...

I think that I will start with the 1 on 1 training for a few weeks, just to lift his ability to set up others, as I have some prolific scorers on the perimeter like Nikolay Zinger who averaged 27 ppg last season. After that I will definitely listen to you namssor about ID and IS, and a tad of RB.

Basically after a few pops on handling and driving, I will focus on and rotate his core interior skills.

How is everyones rookies going so far this season? I ended up firing two of mine and the 7"2' PF that I was going to train into a SF ended up on the market :P So I don't have any of my own rookies left on my team but brought a Kiwi rookie off the market and he has popped 3 times in the last two weeks :)

Jump Shot: average ↑ Jump Range: strong ↑
Outside Def.: average Handling: inept
Driving: respectable Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: awful

Experience: pitiful

He also started his first league game for me on Saturday and played the full 48 mins with 27 points 8 assists 3 steals and 2 blocks! (I will forgive him for the 4 turnovers)

So anyone else wanna share their rookie stories so far?

He's looking good Chris, I sold all 3 of my picks as they were VERY average, so no kiwi rookies for me this season. I'm putting a lot into scouting though so i'm hoping for big things rookie and training wise next season :D

Wally is looking very good Chris :) Going to turn him into a PG type player with passing and outside defence being his highest stats? What's your plans for him?

Maybe since we both have 18 year old 6"1' players we should go different ways, one a PG and one a SG? Would be better to have an awesome PG and SG when they are both 21 rather than have 2 awesome PG's and no good SG's lol
