I don't know your country's cutoffs, but I think it will be difficult.

OD 4 will take a little while to get up into double digits. Then you have IS+ID+RB and at 6'4 they won't pop very fast.

That doesn't mean you have to play him at SF. It only means that BB's salary formula thought his best position for now would be at SF. Maybe some of his inside skills are higher than other guards. What is his IS/ID/REB?

Just wanted to show off my trainees :)

I plan to make the first one about 20-30k salary SF. Actually, I'll see to get all position salaries close, so he'll be universal player, playing at SF. The second one will tag along for now, maybe he becomes guard, since his reb is lower.

Oddly, my third trainee is the least important for me, and has the highest potential LOL

Because of height, age, and that JR hole, I can't possibly make him with same salary at all positions, so I'm just training him whatever. Tagging along, he should end up being a 20-30k big man with awesome secondary skills, except jump range.

hey guys
here is my newly bought trainee

Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: inept

Experience: atrocio


my plan is to make him my franchise star PF
i have a guard trainee that will finish his training half way of next season, so for now i train him guard skill


what do you think? any thought would be appricate

I would do 1v1 Forwards. It would keep their salaries lower, compared to Rebounding.

If you want him to be a "true" PF, he will need some 1v1 and JS to fix his low JS/JR and HA. Another problem is that he is 6'7", which will slow down how fast his inside skills train. Still a decent player.

I have 2 trainees. First is homegrown and the second is an italian guy who won't catch the plane to the Italian U21 NT. So I have 2 questions:
1)What should I do with Vali Badea? He will be a PF or a C?
2)I don't know if Diego is good enough to reach 50k salary in 5 seasons(because of "The Eternal Atrocitus" - I have to improve his driving, passing, handling). So the real question about he is keep or sell?

The first guy could be a PF, but you would have to train some 1v1 and maybe OD. If you want a C, then you only need to worry about training 1v1 Forwards.

The second guy could become a 50k guy, but it won't mean much if he has holes in 3 secondaries. You'll need to train 1v1, as well as PA. His ID is also way too low. PA will train the fastest, but you'll need to play him at PG.

My two trainees.I think the first one will be a PF and second one center.What should be my priorities at the beginning of training phase?

First of all, nice trainees. Second, as a result of you being in D4 Estonia, you will have an easier time training both guys out of position.

Since you want Vaik to be a PF, I'll start off by recommending that you train his OD to strong (8) to defend against other well-rounded bigs. Next, do 1v1 (Guards or Forwards, your choice) to bring up his HA/DR to at least average (6). JS Guards or Forwards is a good alternative if you don't want to do 1v1. Third, I recommend training PA to average (6).

For Piras, you would have to train him longer. His OD and PA need major work. Without him getting better in these 2 areas, he will be a turnover machine that usually wouldn't be able to defend a jumper to save his life. His HA also need training, and 1v1 will help it increase.

Good luck training both guys!
