OK thanks.

u should get his OD and PA up to inept(4) thought otherwise he will get demolished by outside jumpers and will have more turnovers

I have 3 new prospects but no idea how to train them. Here are their skills:

All training suggestions are welcome..
Bob Christropoher Manager of the Peachtree City Shooting Strars

3 good trainees, congrats.

1st=SF/PF

2nd=PG/SG

3rd=SF/PF/C

theres tons of ways to train them, i would suggest selling either the 2nd or 3rd to make training easier and faster.

the 2nd guy is by far your best trainee, so center it around him (unless you're looking to make big money, cant believe u got him with the last pick he was prob a top 3 pick in your draft). he makes my mouth water ;), if you want to keep him i suggest either re-selling the 3rd guy or training him as a SF for now and giving him rly nice "secondaries".

there are probably much better opinions out there so you should wait to see what others say aswell

He doesn't have time to train OD or PA. Not many big men have OD or good JS so he won't get killed. Having low secondaries won't kill us. If he tran OD and PA to 4 then he loses an entire season of training. A lot of bigs our have low secondaries most the time anyway. So have him train IS, ID and RB for these next 3 seasons.

Just acquired another prospect. Is he a center or pf?

He started as a point guard so he has some really nice secondaries. Definitely needs work on his inside defense.

Pound primaries these next 3 seasons if you want them to make U21. You have two great U21 prospects on your hand. They both could be great big men for us. If you want two good club players then train secondaries.

I will train for u21. Primaries it is!
