a) Junk!
b) These type of players are simply not good enough! Unfortunately it is what we have on the current team.
c) Salary should not be an issue with teams in the first and second divisions.
d) With a small amount of research you will find that these are the type of players on the best teams. They have very high transfer values with relatively affordable salaries. I have been lucky to see some of the top players in the BB World and this is how they are built.
e) Well that would be a nice problem to have :)

i would think players in the d) category is a cause and effect thing as well
there is only so much time to develop a player... and a team can only afford so much salary

so in the end, as discussed in this thread previously, teams will take the few pops in primary for a few more pops in secondary for salary considerations

not to say these players arent better, but just as another factor, its also due to time and budget constraints

Don't we have scouts on the National Team to look out for Canadian players at home and abroad?

Time is a huge factor. Ask a guy like RiP how long he has trained Essa Abu-Kaleel for? I am guessing it is 7 seasons at least.

Maja took 7 seasons and that was starting out very poorly as I had no clue what I was doing :)

To train a good NT player takes at least 6 full seasons of commited training.

We lack commited trainers that will train a player into their mid to late 20's focusing on creating unique and balanced builds.


Funny coming from a guy who stopped training Momar when? Lol

I agree that balance matters for sure. But everyone seems to be going overboard with it for our bigs. We have lots of guys that will be good PF's, but we don't have any monster centers that also have reasonable outside skills. I'm against mono-skilled players as well, but if we had someone with maybe 6 less secondary pops as Maja and 8 more primary skills, we'd actually have someone that can compete at center on the NT level. We can't just build really balanced PF's all the time and expect to not get killed against an LI offense. We have to be able to train someone with real center primaries that also has the secondaries, which I don't see anyone really doing.


I agree

RiP is still probably training Kaleel. If Maja kept training he'd be able to help on the inside. 7 seasons... What a joke.... 6 seasons for a good NT player? What have you been smoking beanerz.......

When he turned 27. At that point I could not aford to train him any further. If I was to do it again I would train him for one more full season...

Perhaps you should read my post again. It very clearly states at least 6 seasons. And yes 6 seasons is plenty, so the joke is on your very limited knowledge of what it takes to train a NT player. :P

Can I suggest you browse some of the NT's and see the age of some of the players. I can assure you that you will find plenty who are 24 years of age. From the Canadian team Maja, Williams, Richards, Milot, Mathews, E. Abu-Kaleel and TSA all were impact players on the NT at 24 or younger. That is just based of recent memory, but at least you got the joke :)

I am. He had an OD pop a month and a half ago and a handling pop last week :)


Well I guess Beanerz was right that you trained him for "at least" 7 seasons. Though he was off by about, ummm, by about another 5 seasons. Rofl
