Been on BB for about a month now, so looking for some advice from those of you who have been playing this for a while. This seems like a good strategy, but again, I'm new...

Pick up 18 and 19 year old SG/SFs with decent potential. Get them their 48 minutes per week. Train wing players to Jump Shooting (It seems that wing players who can shoot and have potential do very well money-wise on the Transfer market). Sell them, and use the money to buy good players to fill the rest of my squad. Repeat.

Am I wrong? Seems like having a bunch of young players with good potential, but terrible skills, and then trying to train all the various positions in all the various skills would just take forever. Thoughts?

Everybody has their own differences in strategy.

Some like to train their players all the way through and see them blossom etc etc
Some like to train and sell, relying on the transfer market to fill their team (as you suggest).
Most stick to a mix of the two. Training up a good rookie or two while training others to sell.

It all depends on what you prefer and what you'll have the most fun doing really.

If you want to really make some money on your players, they'll need some defense to go with that shooting though.

It hasn't always been smart to pick up SG/SF with decent potential. It really just depends on the market and the where the talent levels are at on teams. I started out with a really good SG when I joined BB and managed to snag an excellent PG and a good starting SF along with an outstanding backup PG/SF in my first draft. Best draft I've had to date.

Drafted a solid, potentially better, SG in a recent draft ... 2 seasons ago, I think. At the time, the transfer list was selling SG's and PG's like crazy but the interior post players were going at high costs.

Picked up a few decent servicable big men on the cheap, some expensive thinking they'd be good later on, ditched them later after I finally hit the jackpot ... or what I feel is the jackpot. Got two interior post players at pretty good costs when everyone has been paying attention to the SG/SF positions more. They almost went unnoticed and I landed me my future stars that I've been training.

You've just got to really sit down and evaluate your team, accept your losses for what they are and make a decision based on what you have. I made my decision to keep my good SG and try to build around him. I probably could have sold him and bought a star C or PF for what I made off of him but through time, I've been building a team that I think will be primed to dominate after some serious training.
