I think they look like they will fit nicely together. Your new trainee is nice to have 7 handling and 5 passing.

Focusing on guard skills first and then inside skills is a great idea. You should end up with a nice SF, PF and C.

Hi guys, i want this draftee to become well-balanced SF around all primary and secondary skills between 13-17. But i have doubts over inside skills could become thi level because of height. What do you think, how should i train this player?

ps: what is the exact difference between guard 1 on 1 and forwards 1 on 1 training?

Weekly Salary: $ 2 935

DMI: 0
Age: 18
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: hall of famer
Form: average

JS: 5 JR: 4
OD: 6 HD: 5
DV: 6 PS: 2
IS: 6 ID: 7
RB: 5 SB: 3

Getting his inside skills to high levels will be a tad tricky. But at least those started at very nice levels.

Personally, I'd probably make him a inside oriented guard, with good IS and ID. But if you want to push RB later, you might be able to get it to 10 or so.

1v1 forwards and guards give the same increases in HA and DR. The main difference is that 1v1 guard trains JS, whereas 1v1f trains a lower amount of JS, and adds IS. Interestingly, the shorter the guy, the more IS will increase in 1v1f. So, a 188 cm guy is perfect to train with 1v1f.

Thanks for your suggestions, i will try to make him well balanced SF. Considering your explanation about 1 on 1 training, i will prefer 1 on 1 forwards this season, cause i want him to get inside training while training speed is high (age between 18-20) and height of player is low for inside training , and then he could take outside training.

İf i give outside defense for PG/SG, is the difference drastically much between PG/SG and only PG training? Because i have 4-5 good trainable players in my roster.

The two position pressure is definitely noticeably slower - not terribly so, but if the one position training would be 2 weeks, it'll take more like 2.5 for two position. I could probably track down my old training data on pressure for 18 year olds since I did a lot of 2 position with my initial trainees, but the link Tangosz gave is probably even more accurate.

So, here are my 3 trainees:

and not so important 19 year old:

So what you guys suggest?

i would train them a little more in passing and OD until they reach 8+. mix in some 1on1 for forwards and continue with insideskills (block, ID) after allstar break.

they look both very promising.

what do you guys think of this guy. i just grapped him of the transferlist and i am not sure if i did good.

i bought for 400k

$ 8 114
age: 20
6'5" / 196 cm
potential 10

JS: 8 JR: 7
OD: 11 Hdl: 8
drive: 5 Pal: 8
IS:: 3 ID: 7
Reb: 6 Bl: 4

They are tall, but since their OD is good to begin with, you could try getting them all to strong. Next, I recommend training PA until strong or proficient. Since PA trains fast at any height, this shouldn't be much of a problem.

After that, I would do 1v1 Forwards, which trains JS/HA/DR/IS. If I remember correctly, taller height will give them more JS than IS training, while partially improving HA/DR.

To be honest, I would spend this whole season training secondaries. This will help keep their salaries low for a longer period of time, improve their performance on the court, and increase their TL value. Since the 3rd guy is 19, I would make him your 3rd trainee, while the first 2 are your main focus.

If you need more help or specifics, feel free to BB-Mail me.

He is a very decent prospect. However, his height will make guard and inside skills a bit harder to train. Do you want him to be a PG, SG or combo guard?

I would probably start him off with JS/1v1 Guards. After getting his DR to 7, I would give him 1-2 weeks of PA. Next, I would train OD until he popped to 13. Lastly, I would probably give him a bit more 1v1 Guards.

Hey you were right my trainee indeed popped after first week :)
