Just came home from partying and no I'm not drunken… *Somebody* was found to pay the 250'000 for Eisuke-chan (23447300). Looks like I have a *weakness* for player who are worth a little, are a huge training project to fix and totally overpriced (^^). I have reasons:

1. He is a 18 year old with some potential for a NT player if trained

2. He is Japanese

3. The training for my 2 trainees for the next 4 to 5 seasons exactly suits him to makes him trainee Nr. 3.

4. I just lost my game vs. fumoffu platoon which means nothing else than I will be 6th at the end of the season without any chance to beat the red boys. I will drop, so I don't have to think about surviving JBBL.

5. He said to me that his girlfriend is AKB 48 member Atsuko Maeda and I have a poster of her hanging above the bed, although my japanese wife always complain to me about that.

6. He said to me his favorite music is heavy metal.

7. I like his face and hairstyle.

Well, let's see what's going to happen with young Mr. Tomonaga. I'm sure he will like to live in hot and sunny Miyazaki City and become a NT player probably.

The method of learning Japanese recommended by experts is to be born as a Japanese baby and raised by a Japanese family, in Japan. And even then it is not easy...

Gee. Fancy that. There are people who see his value (loved the explanation by the way...).

Great post Rorufu. I often seem to like random players for no good reason. If you are interested in training players from Nippon I have one that isn't bad that I would gladly give away if only he would be trained.

Wolph you should be happy with Konoe this week. Improved GS and improved passing. Surely this week is the week he finally gets to play instead of those bums you have been playing. I think I will stick with passing for one more pop, at 6'0" and it by far his lowest guard skill it should be very fast.

@Lord ... Thankx for the offer lord, but my trainee slots are filled right now for the next forthcoming seasons. The good thing is I'm still a newbie on the scene, so I don't have to prove anything and I'm able to spend all of my *virtual* money on players I like without thinking about beeing *somebody* in JBBL at the moment. Ehm, maybe once I will look back on these good beginner days, when *improving* was only a feature not a must...

@Wolph ... Well yes, it will be some work to finish the boys, but in the end in some seasons they will be my *force triangle* on the guards positions and maybe an option for the NT. All in all I'm glad about my boys and *hell* yes, I will visit Eisuke often in his appartment. And while we will listen to fine old tunes of led zeppelin, dream theater and motörhead his lovely girlfriend will serve us homemade melon pan...

I appreciate you re-thinking your stance. One person looking at what's there may not see what another sees. And there are so many different ways to skin a cat...

A few things to say.

1) great win!

2) It was great that Konoe finally got to play.

3) How did he go?

Scoring 12 PTS 3rd best on team.
Shooting 5/7 best on the team.
Assists 6 best on team.
Steals 4 equal best on team.
Defence his opponent was 0/6 equal best on team.
Rating 13.0 best on the team.

Overall fantastic! Fukushima probably gets the headline because of his massive 36 point scoreline but his man went off for 27 at a high percentage as well as out rebounding and out passing him.

4) Given all of that it still puzzles me that he couldn't even get on the team the last two weeks as a deep reserve. But I am happy that at least now he is playing. I really need him for a very tough cup game tomorrow, but that will put his minutes up again, that will be a tough call.

5)
It is possible to get more than 10 or 15 pops a season.
More than 10 I agree, but more than 15? In 4 seasons of training my best ever is 13 and that included a lot of 1 on 1. (Konoe at age 20.) If you have to do JR or OD you wont get close.

6) I like your guidelines but I suspect the OD on the guards is way higher than any effective player on the team based on their stats and ratings. You can see and know.

7)
18 55
19 70
20 80
21 90


Are these targets for the start or end of that age? For example Takayoshi Kawagichi is 19 and has 66 TSP right now. Is he 4 behind or well ahead?

8) Great work on writing all of this up.
