Nice player.
I would do the following:
1. Get rebounding to strong.
2. Train one on one until Driving and Handling are both on Proficient.
3. Train Jump Shot until Jump Shot is on Prominent.
4. Train passing up to mediocre.
5. Train free throws up to pitiful.
6. Train IS, ID, and Rebounding until they are all on prominent.

Precious indeed!! Nice work.

The fellow who is 6'8" could make an unreal SF, just needs to go to a one position big man trainer. I know just the guy for the job ;)

Thanks alot for the advice Naker! I was pretty lucky my player started out with respectable and average handling and driving respectively. Sucks that it wasn't the same with my other trainees. I may probably switch the orders in what you suggest for me. I think I'll swtich #6 on the list to #2 so that I could hopefully be on top of my league next season and increase value for two of my other 19 year old trainees which I plan to sell at the beginning of next season.

Right now, I'm planning to stay in my division, and try to improve my players and buy some useful guards before thinking of promoting. Though I'm proud to say I was able to push the number one team in my league to a close fight in my last league game, and in his home floor no less, where he has crushed teams with an average of around 40 points. Hopefully next season I'll be the one on that position. >:D

I just sold a trainee a few weeks ago for 1.75 million, but in this current market with all prices so cheap training isn't really worth it at the moment.


I would say that's a pretty bold statement. It also assumes that by next season, the market will be the same or worse than it is now. Because if the market gets better, the value of training goes up again.

Also, even if the market stays the same, there are still many ways to make a profit training. You just have to find good value on your original purchase before you train him - and maybe train him a longer.

But the blanket statement "training is not worth it" seems either misleading or at the worst (depending where the market goes) completely untrue.

Edit: just saw Chris' post and realized it went pretty much to what I was saying. I also saw your reply. I will say that maybe it makes sense for you not to train right now (although even that I question). However, your statement was more general, kind of saying it did not make sense for anyone to train at the moment.

I didn't mean training is completely useless or that no one should train. I'm just saying that for my team training is not valuable at all and would probably cost my team a lot.
My tactic, which I'm not saying is the right tactic for everyone, is to finish 5th this season and sell all my players during the week before playoffs. That way I have no expenses for the offseason and I can get a lot of money.
But to come 5th I need to win a lot of games now, and so training young rookies would just get in the way of me doing that.

I plan on starting up training again next season though, assuming I get at least 1 good player in the draft.

Anyway, there is no indication that the market will improve either, but in my opinion, selling trainees this season is not going to net you as much money as in the past.

This is what I would do:
1. Train Inside Shot up to Sensational.
2. Train Passing up to Strong.
3. Train Jump Shot up to prominent.
4. Train One on One for 6 weeks.

The reason being that if you keep training inside shot you won't be able to afford the salary.
Training passing up is very helpful to your team and will add a lot of value if you choose to sell the player.
Training jump shot will add a lot of value and allow the player to play at PF more effectively.
Training one on one will allow you to get better secondaries and keep salary low and lower turnovers.

I'll try that. I want to make a push for Div 3 next season so I can handle an 80k salary, but we'll see how it goes. He should make U-21.

The above advice was only if you were keeping him on your team.
If you are going to try and make the U21 team and are not concerned with salary then I would do the following:

1. Train Inside Shot to Sensational
2. Train Jump Shot to prominent
3. Train ID, IS and Rebounding up to wondrous.

The reason being that I think that to make the U21 team, especially in the US, you can't spend too much time training secondaries.
However, I don't know what the current skills are for U21 players in your countries team so if his primaries are already good enough in comparison, then it would be far better for your own team to go with training secondaries.
