If you want to turn him into a SF get his passing up to maybe average then work on his OD.

ok. I started to training passing last week but this week it is going to be JR

Sold my decent rookie.. fired the others (i think). Brought a PF to train and I think I have mucked up his training for the past 4-5 weeks. Not helped by him fouling out after 20 odd minutes last week!!!

I was told by a reasonably experienced American manager that only one of my draftees is decent and worth keeping.

Definately looks like a decent amount of JS training will be needed for me this season, at least he has the potential so i can train him for years to come if need be. The other two are both poor players, so they're already on the market lol :)

I got 3 pretty rubbish guys. I'd def keep your first pick Woody, you train inside or outside players?

Up till now it has been outside, but that might change now. ;-)

Should I fire or try to sell the other two?

man i hate the draft, never fails to disappoint me lol

You can try sell them if you want. I normally just fire mine lol. I like hitting that fire button. And I know what you mean Colesy! I never get my money back for the scouts these days!

Mine are useless as usual. I've only ever had one good draft... My best draftee has a salary under 3000, is 19 and has role player potential. haha Time to fire some players!
