1st guy needs Passing, other than that a great player.

I would correct you by saying BOTH guys need passing. But indeed very nice player at this point.

thats what i was thinkin

Hey guys,

I have 3 trainees and have been training 2 position training in guard skills but am struggling to get enough minutes as none of these guys start for my team. I was originally thinking I would train some guards skills then work on Mollins (aim for PF) and Zonglun (SF) for inside skills. I dont have the patience for one position training. Thoughts

Hi Manon,

Thanks for you honest feedback. You are probably right that I am dreaming trying to train 3 players. I will sell Mollins and train the other 2 in guard skills at one position training. I will train them at PG as my starting PG can play SG that way I will only play him one game at PG. Thanks for helping me make a decision!

PS - I have come runner-up in D2 in 3 seasons. I am so ready to promote!

Hey all. As I've noticed some pretty good advice being given around here I would like to get some on one of my projects. I have 2 main trainees and a lvl6 trainer. One position training is a close friend of mine and my trainees almost never have the wrong minutes. Keeping all that in mind I have a question about the development of my future PF. Here are the questions:
1. Is it worth it to go for 10-12OD? I will most likely go for it anyways since the SF I am making with him will need around 14+ but does it make any sense to have a PF with such high OD or is it just a giant waste.
2. Considering he will needs alot of outside/JS/DR trainings I would rly need to know how long would it take for him to pop in ID or RB at the ages of 21 22 23 and 24. Would it be closer to 3 weeks or even 4+? Its a big deal for me since I still need him to be over 100-140k in salaries with with 10+OD and 13+JS.
3. Related closely to question 2. Would it be better to give him a full season of ID at the age of 21 and full season of JS/DR at 22 or the other way around? Can I get 6pops in ID and 6 pops in RB from the 1st week after he turns 22 by the middle of the season when he will be 24. Btw he is 19right now and high hight is 6,10.

So to sum it up my questions are: Is it really worth it? Can it be done?

Would really appreciate some advice quickly since I still can go in another direction.

1) it can be worth it, but you shouldn't go further. OD 12 would stop most outside PFs from shooting jumpers with any reliability. He'd probably get quite some steals, too, since there aren't many PFs with Handling or Passing good enough to get a pass off when covered by him. On the other hand, more than 12 would be overkill in most cases.

2) I don't know too much here, but my 21yo C does still experience regular pops, so it's probably closer to 3 weeks.

3) depends on the position where you give him the training. If JS and Driving are trained at the Forward positions, it might be worth it to train them earlier, since they help raising the IS which helps with the elastic training aspect of training ID. 6 pops in ID and 6 in Rebounding in 30 weeks for a 23yo sounds doable, because they do help each other, but it'll be hard. rather expect 4 or 5 pops in each - but I might be wrong.
