Here's my main trainee, thoughts?

Weekly salary: $ 8 379
DMI: 114300
Age: 19
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: strong
Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: awful Handling: inept
Driving: respectable Passing: inept
Inside Shot: prolific ↑ Inside Def.: prolific
Rebounding: proficient Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: inept

Experience: pitiful

Can anybody direct me to somewhere I can find out how much his salary is going to rise to next season?

not much, certainly less than 20k. Once you start popping skills to 13+ it gets expensive.

He could be a good PF, although the stamina is irritating, who ends up like this...

Jump Shot: Sensational Jump Range: Proficient
Outside Def.: Average Handling: Respectable
Driving: Prolific Passing: Average
Inside Shot: Sensational Inside Def.: Sensational
Rebounding:Wondrous Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: Mediocre Free Throw: Average

Not a great PF, but a good one...

Here is my rookie.I also have a U21 belgian but he is 21 years old :p
He never was trained before I got him on the week just before ASG.
Since, he got 1 pop into OD, Stamina and Passing :

Had awful rebounding at the beginning of the season. Next up, passing.

I wouldn't bother training passing in my opinion. It is on atrocious and would take forever to get up to a useful level.

Good point :) I would rather train DR, HD and JS :)

I would even consider skipping JS for now as well. It is on pitiful which means you need 5 pops to get it to respectable. Assuming 2 weeks per pop that is 10 weeks of training to just get it to respectable. I think you are much better of spending those 10 weeks on a bit of one on one training and concetrating on the inside skills.
I would consider raising OD to Strong. I know it will be slow, but 1 pop should only take a few weeks and I think adds a lot of value to the player.

whatchu guys think about my main trainee? he is out for the next 2 weeks though so I am training stamina the next 2 weeks...
he has a chance for the spain u21 team.

HD was atrocious so it has gotten much better. i am gonna be training OD the rest of the season once he gets back from injury so hopefully he can finish with prolific OD or maybe even sensational. this is what he should look like for his 21 YO season:

My Center had atrocious passing and it only took 6 weeks to get it to mediocre. He's now averaging 3 assists a game, while before that he had 0.1 apg. Since passing training isn't influenced by height and the training is quicker when that particular skill his worse than the others, I think that it would be worth giving passing training, even if it's at an atrocious level
