The guy is in a D2 league, so he'll need the rebounding. And with 8 potential he should be able to comfortably fit at least 14/14/14 inside skills. Even 16/16/16 is possible depending on their shot blocking (and JS too).

Personally though, I'd be more worried about their passing. They have nice handling but ouch that PA is terrible. Still, these guys are gonna be good players for his team.

Guys, thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.

@tough: nothing wrong, but in my situation (like Tangosz said) i really need the RB A.S.A.P. the main reason i keep losing to close rivals is fewer rebounds (i cant hold my boards and i rarely crash theirs)

@Tangosz: Yes, the PA is terrible but it is quite hard to look for trainees w/ atleast mediocre subskills when youre on a budget.
I was in a tight spot when i bought them. But yeah, theyre gonna be good anyway. Im thinking 14/14/14 and then maybe IS 18 if the cap allows them to.

Although there are things not to like, for example several atrocious skills, the potential or the fact that it's already past mid-season and the skills are still fairly low.. I think that you can make a decent D4 player out of him, maybe even more. The cap is quite low though so be careful with PA & JR.

I think you should definately concentrate on OD in the first year of training, maybe throw in an occasional JS or two but try to get his OD to a point that you dont have to improve it later. I'm thinking 12-13 but suit yourself.. then after that do what you like, depends what kind of player do you need.. scorer/penetrator/distributor etc.

Right now I am training some IS. I am looking forward to be able to have these two as starter/backup in my league. Question: If I want to keep salaries reasonable, should I pump primaries until they turn 22?

I did draft them, and in the future, I will probably get their PA up 2 levels. 1v1 is also an option, but I will just cross that bridge when I come to it.

ahem, my trainees are doing good, but I'll have to sell them off, how much do yall think Coleman and Delong will sell off Skills like this:

Coleman
Salary: 60k

JS: inept
JR: respectable
OD: strong
HA: proficient
DR: proficient
PA: strong
IS: marvelous
ID: tremendous
REB: sensational
SB: proficient
ST: respectable
FT: strong
49 weeks training (3 and 1/2 seasons)

Delong
Salary: 100k

JS: awful
JR: awful
OD: respectable
HA: strong
DR: prolific
PA: respectable
IS: tremendous
ID: stupendous
REB: tremendous
SB: sensational
ST: strong
FT: prominent
63 weeks training (4 and 1/2 seasons)

How much will they sell for (BB-Mail me for actual estimate please)

It's much, much easier to justify playing a big man at PG for training when he's making under 10k per week. I shudder at the thought of lining up 50k+ centers as point guards to try to lift their passing from godawful to merely unacceptable. And of course so do most people, which is why guys like this end up being the ugly three-skill donkeys that litter up the transfer list.
