Hello there! I see that we're in the same league. In my opinion, his potential makes him worth training. His guard skills aren't ideal, but his inside skills are a nice starting point.

Hi Does my small forward have a chance at making the U21 team? I just drafted this guy..

He would likely need to be trained as a big for purposes of u21. In terms of overall potential for your development, you could do a number of things and end up with a solid player. A big's training is mostly IS/ID/REB. If he had good perimeter skills, i would aim IS/ID/SB and make him an sf instead, but he doesn't have those high skills I look for.

New training plan for every single player.

Hi everyone! I was wondering what would be best for my trainee in the future. More specifically, what would be his ideal position/training regimen so that he may be useful for the U21 as well as for my squad. I was thinking PF, but I'm not entirely sure. Any advice is appreciated!

Both sides are right. It's up to you to pick the route you want. You can either get a guy you can sell for a profit in 4 seasons or get a quality club player that will take longer to train. The club player is worth more, but also take some more time, so it's really up to you if you'd like to go u21 route or train for the long haul. That being said, as a big man 8 potential will not yield too strong of a player for your team, so the quicker route may be better.

to be relevant in the long term, the u21 makes a lot of sense. get those guys that you can get on market or in your draft pool for 200-300k or less and spinning them for between 1.25 and 3.5m at the end of development goes a long way to completing the arena upgrades and buying pieces that can make the team a top division team down the road. This is typically why i suggest that anyone that doesn't have the financial situation to compete go the u21 route with their players. Newer players get the double dip of learning training in a hurry and then also making the money to make their team better in the long run.

When i decide on what makes a good u21 player or good club player, i honestly look at where the secondaries of a player are before the primaries. A big height player (lets say 6'10" and up) with 33 guard skills (5.5 average) and 22 big skills (5.5 average) is worth a lot more than a big that has 28 big skills and 22 guard skills to a long term build. a primary only player (what i term a donkey build) is a player you really won't ever find at the top of the u21 list or the top of a teams plans for their long term team.

Hello,
Today I drafted. Can somebody help shape the training plan?
