Hey, I've been training all of my guards outside defense since I started playing this game. I did train some of my big men's inside defense by the way. Right now I am focused on working a bit on my starting point guard's offense. What skill should I focus on next? I am thinking about working on his passing. He averages over 6 assists per game so far this season. Plus my inside scoring game is mediocre. I'll love for him to simply pass the ball down low to my big men. His skills are:

Lane Allen (9189297)
Point Guard

Weekly salary: $ 6 670

DMI: 46600
Age: 20
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: respectable
Driving: strong Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: average Free Throw: inept

Experience: pitiful

You get much better results by rotating training then by hammering the same skill for weeks in a row (so you've shot yourself in the foot a little bit).

Aside from Outside Defense, the other skills guards need the most are Jump Shot, Jump Range, and Passing.

which one should I try to pop up first between jump shot, jump range and passing?

Right now, I expect my forwards and centers to do most of the scoring for my team.

Even though your big guys do most of your scoring your PG should still be able to score a bit. So i would work on his JS. You got killed in your cup game because he shot 1 from 18.

It doesn't matter. One pop will not make or break your player, given that you need half a dozen of pops (at least) in each skill before this starts resembling a quality player.

Yeah, he does average over 10 ppg in league competition though.

But you are right, both of my best guards struggled in that cup game. They shot a combined 4-33.

My other guard has skills of:


[USA]
Douglas Siegel (9213020)
Point Guard
Owner: Mad Nyce

Weekly salary: $ 5 141

DMI: 11800
Age: 20
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: average

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

Experience: atrocious

What type of training should I work on..strictly PG or PG/SG. From what I've been reading training just one position is more productive than two positions.

Hi, I recommend One to One training, which increase DRI primary, and JS and HAN pop up often. Second alternative is Jump Shot, but I think that Allen don´t need JR pops if you play inside, I think JR=7 is sufficient. I think that Passing is not good training for him, because passing isn´t so important (in my opinion) in BB game engine, and passing is heavily waged in salary of PG.

For my PG's I also trained up outside defense first, then i moved to passing/one on one (changing after 2 weeks). This will raise all important skills for PG's. After you reach a certain level of passing, you can then choose if you want them to be pure passers or switch to jump shot/more one on one training.

I'm training 5 players on 2 positions, but obviously if you only have 2 training players, you should train 1 position.
