I would give up training that guy his skills are just too low to make it worthwhile especially his ID. He is also short for big man training which will make it harder to train him even if he had better skills.

Train One on One, then passing, then One on One then Passing. i.e. Alternate each week.

Okay then, my 19 year old powerforward with only 4 or 5 weeks of big man training and 10+ weeks of guard training sold for 1.75 million. Show me a 19 year old with all primary training and no secondary training that has sold for over 2 million.
If you can't find one, it is because secondaries are worth more.

I am going to side with Naker here. Secondaries are really important, the fact that many people do not train them is really interesting. My team is proof that balanced players at every position can dominate mono skilled monsters. I have a 'SF' that I play as a C or PF and he can dominate, he could also play as a SG or obviously as a SF. Yes they are tough to train, and take alot of patience but it is worth it in the end.

Here is a C of mine that is still lacking a few secondaries. What do you all suggest I do with him?

FTW I did not train SB, it was a pop from ID training :) Also he is 7'1" with good potential.

Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: mediocre
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: prolific Inside Def.: prolific
Rebounding: wondrous Shot Blocking: respectable ↑
Stamina: inept Free Throw: mediocre

I couldn't find any players on your roster that were 7'1". But I found one that was 7'0" that was 20 years old so I'm going to assume that is the player you are referring to.
I would rotate training between one on one and inside defence for about 8 weeks.
I would do this because the one on one will increase your handling and driving to a better level, and will also provide some jump shot training and will train inside shot as well. You do not need to train any more rebounding as it is already quite high. Training inside defence alternating weeks will allow you to increase that and give secondary training to other inside skills.

I would also consider giving the player some passing training. I realise that with his height it will train slowly and there may be better things to train, but I personally like having big men that can pass the ball and think it is quite valuable to have.

LOL, yep he is 7'0" :)

I will be training one one one next season but for now plan to try and get IS and ID up to sensational or better. Yes his salary will be large, but I am hoping to join Naismith in the next season or two and will need a monster to compete.

Cool, yeah IS and ID would be good to train, but I do not look forward to seeing that salary lol!
It will probably be around 60k or more before the end of the season.

Nice player. Yeah secondaries just boost up the price considerably. And I hate seeing Centers with great inside skills and atrocious and pitiful in secondaries. They are giant turnover machines! lol

Cons: It takes a while to train guard skills at 6'8", JS will take a good season to get to a decent level, and he'll never be overly dominant.

I like balanced bigs, and I train them myself, but don't neglect big man skills totally. Maybe train guard skills half of the time, and with him being an allstar, you can have a nice big who's still 13/13/13 or so inside before he caps out.

I agree though, don't stick to IS/ID/REB. I just wish he was either shorter or taller. 6'8" is a pain in the ass height.
