Thanks for the advice guys.

Yes, I am largely single-position training and I'm not currently looking to promote. I'm happy to stay in my current division for a little while, I can comfortably finish 3rd/4th but I'm probably not good enough to promote anyway.

Just wondering whether allocating one of my 3 training slots to a 21yo who will train rather slowly is a bad move. It would be good to keep him though.

Single position is the way to go. I think he is worth keeping, he can fill the 2nd spot until you find a 2nd trainee to replace him, look for a Superstar + guy who needs training on the same skills as your HOF guy so you can get the most out of your efforts, neither one of the Perennial Allstars IMO are worth those 2 spots either.

I only started adopting this approach mid season last season, and so far it has been a very positive move, I also changed up to an Exceptional Trainer and have been in pop heaven since.

I hope my dissenting opinion is not a sign of me being wrong but rather a different way of looking at things. If you were going to train js for a season the #3 could be a pretty nice player. If you train inside the whole year, I'm not sure he improves enough to matter really. If his current skills were higher he would make an awesome sf but I think he only gets to a poor shooting sg from where he is now. If you are committed to a year of inside then i feel like 1 and 2 will net you more in the long run on the TL.

Right on! I was going to post this then I saw yours. All these players will need JS and some One-on-Ones.

@OP: Why not just keep them all till you're done with two position training and by the time you're done, player three probably won't need much training anymore, and you have three players to go one position training.

I'm new here but what's wrong with the 3rd player?
Doesn't he have all needed to be a good player? As I said I'm fairly new and so I'm looking to learn more.

Thanks guys.

Divided opinions here so it's definitely going to be a difficult decision. I basically need to decide what I want to train this season. I definitely want to one position train.

If I opted for largely outside based training, which would be good for my 18yo HOF (main focus), then player 3 would be able to improve further and one of players 1 and 2 could also be trained. However, ideally I would not make player 1/2 into such an unbalanced player as player 3.

Is the lack of inside skills on player 3 going to be a real problem if he plays PG? Also he's pretty important to me winning games atm I probably should keep him.

Leaning towards selling player 1/2! Also player 1 popped in driving and handling today.

Well you're 21 year old is your highest paid player, go to your economy page and see how far over the salary floor you are. Do a cost/benefit analysis, if you are near the floor you don't really make any more weekly money by selling him, plus he helps you win games so you can make more in attendance money.

Your hall of famer is 6'6" (I'm gonna say his stats look more inside SFish just guessing) so without knowing his stats you might wanna train his guard skills first and then his inside skills depending on the type of player you want, if you train his guard skills up for a season or two, your other two younger (cheaper) players will still benefit as well and over the course of training your HOFer's guard skills you will most likely fix that one player's handling skill.

Also I would ask your NT if your HOF player is on their watch list, you may not even bother caring about the other ones if they give you an idea of the type of player they are looking for.

Just some ideas.
