The Birdman fits in nicely with my training plans. K-Mat & Tim need secondary work, so it coincides well with the creation of a good PG for his final year of U21s. Post that, he'll see a lot of work on his secondaries - then back to some polishing on his primaries.
I figure by age 24 he might be ready for some NT duty... should everything go according to plan.

He's also the first trainee I've drafted and trained, and having a good point to run with my 2 bigs will be gratifying.

2 seasons ago when Shin Shidehara was on the U21 team we had a ton of great PGs like him & Tomohito Matsuyama from Stunners. Tomohito Matsuyama has had 6 weeks training at C since & Shin has had a few as well as a lot of 1on1F so they may both end up being decent NT PGs with good secondary skills.

Where I am failing is with Ryu Minami (30246003). You can look I have been trying to get him the minutes but he refuses to pop, he has fouled out early 4 times, been injured & just totally sucks, after a season of training no primaries above average.

Three point guards is a pretty good set of players to train.

It's impossible to train properly 3 players in long term.

Don't you have a bridge to attend to?

If it is impossible for you to understand, then that means you are not playing with a full deck.

Please imagine, that it's "little" harder to create NT/U21 player in Poland than in Japan.

As you can see....he isn't ready to start anywhere.....

Few weeks ago and one season ago his skills weren't higher however he was ready...

Are all his skills proper? When I was NTM and You wrote skills of Asano or Motori on this forum, You always used to add +1 to every skill ;-)

78 TSP at 20, that is VERY good for starting at 19

It's VERY doubtful that he has 78 TSP currently.

Please put described skills into salary calculator - it calculates salary = ~7,7k. What is very important it's salary for PF. Salary for PG is very close so it's possible that player is listed as PG.
However there are few other amazing things. We are after 9 training since last salary update. Only 9 trainings. Meada's salary = 3,5k. It seems impossible to almost double salary after 9 trainings. Interesting as well is history of possitions played by Maeda in this season - it indicates possible trainings. So we have:

(in order: week number in current season / possition played by Maeda / possible trainings):
1. sf/pf (DV or JS)
2. pg (OD or PS - I bet, however JS or DV or HN still possible)
3. pg (OD or PS - I bet)
4. sg (JR or JS or DV)
5. sg (JR or JS or DV)
6. pg (OD or PS - I bet)
7. pg (OD or PS - I bet)
8. pf/sf (DV - according to YC's post)
9. pg (OD - according to YC's post)

So we see that Maeda trained practically only outside skills in this season. However his salary for PF possition is almost doubled. It seems impossible, because IS/ID/RB/SB weren't trained. Of course JS increases salary for PF possition, but to double salary for PF possition 6-7 pops of JS is needed. It's hard to make 7 JS pops in 9 weeks.

So I expect that Maeda hasn't 78 TSP now. TSP = 68 and every skill worse by 1 than described seems more probable. I could be wrong however it's easy to prove. In buzzer-manager exists trustworthy tool which allows to share skills of own players in this way:

Really dude?
Come on: you have no real interest in anything to do with BB in Japan, and any feigned interest is merely to bother wolph. Let's be honest: even your short-lived stint at Nippon NT manager came about through you screwing with him... and during that you continued to do so, even at the expense of the team.
Now, I am no fan of wolph's (as has been historically proven), but you're only here to cause trouble.

Perhaps my last missive was a tad oblique for you, so I'll be blunt: please leave.

OK....You caught me....Maeda only had strong OD when I posted his skills....but that was because I had my crystal ball out and knew he was going to pop in OD today...Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Lower OD still doesn't explain so big salary increase on PF possition.
Could You use buzzer-manager sharing skills tool and show us Maeda's skills to prove, that I'm wrong and other skills aren't overestimated too?
Here is link to tool: http://www.buzzer-manager.com/partager/
If You prefer You can share his skills in Nippon DB as well: http://bbtools.x10.mx/nippon/
