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.

Started training rebounding.Whats next after rebounding?Some one-on-one training?

I have an attachment to this trainee. He started out with really poor JS, JR, and secondary skills like REB. The secondaries are still terrible but I hope to improve on them down the road. I'm going to train one-on-one for forwards to try to slowly improve on his inside shot and to keep his salary under control. I bought another 6'0" 18 year old but he seems to train slower.

JFYI

Had a similar problem. I had a player who has respectable JR but pitiful JS.

With a superior coach he popped about 4 times in 5 weeks in JS.

He's my current fav : )

I think JS for Forwards would be more useful. Shooting skills are his main weakness at the moment so i think they need the most work.

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

Well they're more real than the tooth fairy or Yankee Fans at Fenway but I'll admit that his guard skills are non-existent.
