Tough doesn't know what he is talking about. Your dude has a chance. The only reason he would have a hard time making it is because his rebounding is so low. Also USA tends to have a ton of Centers and SG's on their U21 team so that may cause a problem as well, but its not like he has no chance. Try to get his inside D and rebounding up more now though since his secondaries are actually really good already ;)

Man, I should shut up in help threads, maybe I'm just jealous that my trainee has no chance at NT............need to review myself of The Forum Help rules...........off to my punishment corner I go............

Ya thats what i see as an issue too, im not really concerned with driving since that will come with time but just the inside skills arent that great but one position with a level 6 hopefully gets him there

Well you got 52 likes so cant be too bad dw ;)

Dear managers,

I'm in doubt about what to do with 1 of my main trainees:

Weekly salary: $ 10 671
Age: 20
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: MVP

Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: sensational Handling: prominent
Driving: proficient Passing: average
Inside Shot: strong Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: average Free Throw: awful

Make it a outside SF or a SG?

Looking at his skillset a outside SF would be great. The goal for my Outside SF at 120 skillpoints would probably be: 17-13-17-11-13-12-9-15-5-8, at this point I'd be 1 full point away of reaching hiss average potential, afterwards inside training and handling/driving/passing is still possible. Effectively probably just handling/driving + passing.

Looking at his length I see him more as a SG. I like allround SG's, so at 120 skillpoints I'm thinking on: 17-15-17-13-13-14-9-10-5-7, I'm only 0,2 skillpoints from the average MVP potential. After skillpoint 120, there might be some driving + handling + inside training possible. Though thiss will go very slow since the soft cap is in reach.

I'm quite sure my player reaches the 120 skillpoints. Since he was just as good as another player of mine, which hopefully will reach skillpoint 120 this week at the age of 26. This player is more outside orientated, so his training might even go a tiny bit quicker. 120 skillpoints is a real possibility. But which goal should I choose and why?

Looking forward to some smart responses,

Outside SF for me for sure.

I agree an outside SF with that skillset would be sweet. Might take some patience to get ID up that high but it make a great player in the end.

I've been away for a while, but I still don't think you can measure potential in directly in skillpoints.

I don't, I used the formula by Josef Ka, to see what I can get out of him. In both cases it's more than 120 skillpoints. (if done in the way I suggested)

But I didn't take the potential as a goal. I took a reachable goal within the potential. 120 skillpoints is reachable, since I got a 26 year old 198cm high SF with potential superstar which is currently at 119 skillpoints.
