here is my trainee. planning to get his jump shot to respectable, passing to strong, outside def to mediocre with one on one training. Then IS. ID, RB to sensational, and then all of his guard skills to strong. Any advices?

Sounds like a pretty good plan. Although I think it is going to take a long time, as Mr. Emerson has really weak guard skills at the moment.

If you are able to make him as balanced as you plan he will be a freak. I have a similar player on my roster and can ensure you it is well worht it :)

I love the height obviously but his secondaries are a bit weak. I was actually thinking about pushing his Jump Shot up to mediocre because he actually decent Jump Range. Any thoughts?

I would train his inside shot up to at least strong first then look at passing and handling because against good d he will just be a tall turnover machine!! then you can look at js and maybe driving.

I am not sure how high people think that a c/pf needs to have pa/ha at but atrocious is not good at all!

i have also one 22 years old who finished his training.
To be honest making 18s play 48mins at pg and loosing matches that you could win normally sucks but when they become 21 and show winner performances it's just priceless imo.

one of my trainees has all atrocious guard stats apart from JS which he got a pop in when i trained IS and he only averages 1.7 TOs a game and he's averaging 43 mins a game

well, i already posted in the rookie thread. maybe here is a better fit for it:

he was only the 15th pick in a very active divII last season and i planed to train bigmen anyway. he had nice height and i liked his skillset with his 'secondaries' od5 hn7 ps7. so i chose training him.
----
i invested 40k/week, leagueaverage was 12-16k. this was my draftboard: http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/6694/draftclassseason1...
----
He recieved Skilltraining (lvl5 trainer / Singleposition) in 19 of possible 24 weeks. I wonder what happend if i chose him to be my maintrainee since week1... maybe its time to work on his shooting skills now... but i also like the idea of a defensive hustler.
anyway, still proud of this steal, and even getting more and more ;-)

The 18 year old was my draft pick this season, the 19 year old was my draft pick last season and the 21 year old I brought early this season, he has been my best player so far. Have been training IS all season and had a few pops. I am also coming 2nd last in Div. 3 Big 8 conference.

Isnt it incredibly difficult to train a 7'5" player in guard skills though?

Yeah because they don't exist (I think :P).

Yeah because they don't exist (I think).

The 21 7'5 players currently on the transfer list would beg to differ.

It's 7'6 players that don't exist.

But yes, I imagine a 7'5 player would be extremely difficult to pop in guard skills.
