Im going to give you my honest opinion, this is probably one of the worst players to do this train. Probably you are going to do a big mistake there.

This players its just really bad, JS 1, IS 2, ID 2, what you expect from him?

You dont need more than OD 12-13 for your division as well as passing around 11-10 thats all. Why you wanna train OD to 20, when his ID will be a problem in front of others PG's IS. As well as you are going to give up the chance to score lot of points with this PG, trying a bad shot attempt or driving under the basket and failing because of his IS. The game engine favours the multiskilled players and even if you play LI, you can give a lot of importance to your PG if you know exactly what to train.

My advice, sell him or train during 2 seasons JS in SF-PF so you can also improves his IS, but its not a really good idea to train him...

Why passing 20 when you can have a great PG with passing 12-13 doing a nice job on the offense move while you can also have a great shooter?.

Anyway the manager will decide, but with this game engine this kind of players are totally a fail, plus top teams their PG's passing are not more than 14-15, but is normal they have a good SG with nice passing.


PD: I knew from a spanish PG with passing 20, OD 11 and some other lower skills around 200k salary.

Yes of course we have different opinions. Teams train passing, but they prefer to have a PG-SG with passing than only a PG with lot of passing, maybe you dont see a 20 on passing but yes a 15-12(PG-SG).

But the main problem of that player are his primary skills(JS) and secundary skills(IS-ID also important for PG's).

PD: Just one question, what you prefer on a team:

15-10-5(By position PG-SG-SF) counting 30 on skills or

20-5-5?

I'm going to agree with Smedlock here, training that player would be interesting to see the results.

One thing I disagree about though is not training in handling/driving. I could have sworn I read somewhere (probably in one of the new GE posts) about the importance of handling. From what I can understand, if he doesn't have good handling (I'd say at least 9) he won't be have the ball long enough to actually find good passes.

Other than that, this player looks like he could be really awesome/interesting.
