Step 1: Edit Gaylord Crocker to look like Ben Stiller because that obviously increases his chances tremendously.
Step 2: Wait for the scouts to contact you very soon and discuss training options. You can also contact the U21 manager directly after the pending elections. In the mean time, just about anything is a safe training option as you'll need some pops in all guard skills before their time comes.

Given that this first week of the season is a short week with only a scrimmage and you have two draftees you want to train, 1v1 forwards is a safe starting point. Within a week (before next training update), I would guess that a U21 scout will have contacted you and you guys can discuss a longer-term plan moving forward. But when in doubt, it's hard to go wrong starting off with either some 1v1 forwards for elastic effect or pressure for the most important skill in the game.

Very nice prospect you have there. I recommend training his OD and Passing to proficient. Next, I would throw in some 1v1 and JS Guards until his JS/HA/DR all hit strong. If you have more questions, feel free to join the offsite community: http://s3.zetaboards.com/BuzzerBeater_USA_NT/index/

Good luck training him!

At the moment he is behind other guard prospects so I would just train him the way you feel necessary and keep him in good GS. Keep in mind Kenneth Culver last season did not play a single U21 NT game last season until eventually playing in both the semi final and final because he stuck with it and remained in good GS.


Awww yeah he did!

In case anyone is wondering, his skills are 9/5/11/12/10/4 10/8/6/3 5/4 and he has HOF potential.

My first suggestion is to start training PA right away. Continue doing that until he hits fuerte (8) or excelente (9). Then I would work on his shooting. I'm sure you have been contacted by a U21 scout, so you can ask them for their opinion. If not, you can contact the U21 manager, Phyr (28895), and ask him what he thinks.

He won't make U21 NT unless his passing is at least 6 but the 8-9 range is recommended.

Do you want him to play SF or PF/C? If you want him to be at SF, he will need about 4-5 pops in passing like Nova said. If you want him to be a PF/C, he doesn't need too much passing.
