Like Tangosz said, you don't need to have a high potential guy to make train up a good player. I have trained star and allstar potential players on several occasions who have turned into a profit.

However, star potential is the lowest that I recommend training. I tried training a starter potential back in my D5 days, and he didn't last too long :)

Hey everyone !

I asked you how to train a player 3 seasons ago. Here he was:

Age:18
Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: average Handling: average
Driving: average Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: awful

And here he is now:

Weekly salary: $ 8 376
Age: 21
Height: 6'8" / 203 cm
Potential: hall of famer

Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: strong Handling: sensational
Driving: tremendous Passing: average ↑
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: awful Free Throw: inept

I wasted a few training sessions, because of injuries and also because I had to train stamina, which was very low.
What should I train in priority now ?

Okay. Seeing he is going to be a SF, I would say to train OD/ID as a priority. That's just me, though. Good luck!




EDIT: Adjusting to the comment below.

Actually, he's more likely to be a SF (or possibly a PF).

I really like the idea of making him a PF. if you just focus on the big skills for this season and some of next season, he can be a pretty kick ass PF. Nice job with him!

I would train his big skills for this season and next, like E.B.W. said. If you have time at the end of the season, playoffs, or a 2-game week, I recommend training JS, REB or PA. I would also put a bit of emphasis on OD/ID.

I've been training passing for a few weeks and i was planning on switching to JR for a few weeks, try and get 2-3 pops in that and then 1-2 more pops in OD, but then i'm not really sure. Do you guys think spending the rest of the season on JR and a bit of OD is the right move, if not what else should i train. If you agree with that for this season then what do i do next season?
