Does anyne have experience with training a 1.88 short guy on a center/pf spot. How bad is it to train him there? Is the diffrince in training speed to much?

Think about it this way.

If all players getting full training get their training at 100%. But the taller you are, you get a bonus for training skills that are considered BIG MAN territory. So, if you have another player that is taller, he will gain MORE for his time spent training the the C/PF skills. No training is wasted, and if you need the skills improved on your shorter player, then do so. But it is not the most efficient use of training time if you have another taller player that could benefit from the time.

i very much doubt that... you should see the 100% for the tall guys and less training for guys that outside their (perfect??) length range for that position... If I understand most people, noone exactly knows what the perfect length range is and secondly the ranges seem to be several inches.

hope that makes sense lol

So its like when you train rebounding a 5'9" guy will train at 100% but the 7'1" guy might train more than 100%?

You can look at it two ways. There is a baseline level of training. If your player is taller, there is a benefit for C/PF training. So, there is a bonus of some amount to that baseline. So, in comparison, the shorter player will train slower than the taller player if all other factors are equivalent.

I based all my calculations off the baseline level.

true... but the question is whether a 7 feet player trains slower than a 7"1 or a 7"2 player as a center for example... As far as I understood it, there is no difference per inch. The difference is that a certain player needs to be above a certain length to get 100% training and not just 1 length. Same for all positions. The problem is that noone knows the exact lengths where you get 100% training for each position...

I think there is a difference, but a 7'1" guy isn't going to be all that slower than a 7'2" guy.

sorry to be silly about this. a small difference can be after a few years training a big difference. So you reckon that a 7'1 guy will train a % or a few % slower than a 7'2% guy? how big a difference do you reckon is it?

Not silly at all.

What I'm trying to say is that an inch difference between trainees is probably minimal, but the difference adds up between, say, a 6'10" guy and a 7'5" guy.

I really don't know the amount of difference but that's the impression I gather.
