Yes I am a supporter and it is well worth it. I was training the bigs the first few weeks but Caudill is only a 6'4" C and that scares me. Now I am training four of my guards, Oliver Ðuričko, Valio Tammela, Nigel Easton and Daan Vanmassenhoven - well actually 5 guards as I have to play Frankie Goolagong as he is my best player even though I don't think training him is worth much. I have read that it is good to train 2-3 weeks on a skill then rotate as the players become "bored" with the same skill all the time. I have also read that during all star week it is a good time to train FTs or Stamina. Is this right? What level or trainer should I get? They get insanely expensive above level 4. Are the specialisations worth it? Thanks so much for all your advice guys, I really appreciate it. I look at Oliver with new respect now. :)

Level 4 trainer is good till u start getting richer. Training players till they pop in 1 skill then switching is a good way to go about it. 2 game weeks like the all star break can be be good for FT and Stamina as u say.

Again, please refrain from using "text speak" on the forums.

I disagree. One on one trains mainly driving and i think driving is particularly important for SG and their ability to create their own shots

Oh well I started something like 1-2 weeks ago and I feel that a little bit of mentoring wouldn't be bad for me =)
Feel free to give me some advices!

I agree with yodabig, Driving is important, LA Lakers a top team just had a shooting guard up with Phenomenal handling and driving, and wondrous passing, however he only had proficient jump shot and respectable jump range, he had around a .500 shooting, and .400 3pt percentage, he was 23 and a mvp, this kind of player reminds me of mj... however someone with wondorous+ shooting and range is more of a peja or ginobli... which is good but does not stick out in my mind, especially in AI environment.

Where to start. Its a good idea to read the forums a lot of questions u have have probably been asked by other people. When your starting out the general choice is whether u want to train bigs or smalls. SF's are a bit trickier to train and probably left for when your more experienced.

I am unsure, whatever is easier i suppose. You can look at my players and see if i have any potential if you want, because i don't know.

Well when your looking for trainees the younger the better as they train faster. So u aim to train them up from 18 or 19. Guards might be your best bet. You have Denton and O'Neill who are not great trainees but will probably do the job for now. Another 18 or 19 year old guard or 2 would be good to get. Potential doesn't have to be that high but at least star potential if u can.
