ive never got 16 pops in one season on an 18yo guard, but i guess it might be possible if you solidly train passing and one-on-one etc. I generally get 10 per season from 18 through to 22 but i do mix in a fair bit of OD earlier on and maybe some of the faster popping training later on...

thank you all for answering my earlier questions. very interesting insights!

Good question, I'm interested to hear the answers :)

I think what we'd like to see is our best five ball prospects (MVP+) prepared for the full NT from day one, and if they play for the U21s along the way, great. That leaves the four ball potential or less players (Superstar, Peren allstar, maybe even allstar in some positions) to be trained with only the U21s in mind - as they will then likely be sold at 22.

We want good communication with managers of these prospects, so they train the players well.

We want good communication with the community, so we know which players are coming through and become excited about seeing them play for the U21s.

Some success on the court would also be good, but not at the expense of player development.

Essentially it's about taking each draft group to U21 graduation and preparing the five ball potential players to be NT starters around the age of 24.

Eminence ticked all these boxes, and we'd hope to get someone just as good this time. Maybe even better, if we're lucky.

He could've won the game against the Czechs!

Looking at the players who've graduated and been transfer listed, I'd say he's done a really good job. A lack of stamina and ball handling skills being the only real issue. Did Hall, for instance, need 10 in OD? But this is nit-picking, he did a great job.
