Outisde Def - average
Handling - Inept
Driving - Respectable
Passing - Awful
Inside Shot - respectable
Inside Def - Average
Rebounding - Pitiful

What position do you guys think I should train him at? What skills should I look at training? Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a nice SF-prospect. I would go for Rebounding up to 10 or so. Then finish his inside skills (ID/IS) up to 10 or so as well. Once you're done with it I'd work on his outside skills (you can do it vice versa of course). OD up to 13, passing up to 10, JS/JR something like 12/9.

Maybe you want to check out the potential calculator and see how he could look like in the future and make a training plan afterwards.

This might sound like a stupid question but I haven't been playing this game for long but where can I find this potential calculator?

Read a little through the thread and it might help you a lot. You basically multiply the skill with the number from the table (in your case for SF) and then add them together. The number can go as high as teh cap for all-star (20-22).

Hope I could help you.

I'm sorry for interrupting this topic but I do not think that my question is worth its own. My question would be what is the difference of training effectiveness when you train only one position and when you train 2 positions ? For example only C's or C's and PF's, is it more than lets say 10 percent or less ?

Really that much ? That's damn big difference.
I was asking because I'm still a newbie right now and I plan to train bigs. So I was wondering is it much better to train only one position and be the most effective or training two positions is just slightly less effective.
Another question if you could answer would be when you have 7'3 player and 6'8 player that 7'3 player will raise his inside skills like rebounding, inside defense, shot blocking faster than 6'8 ? And 6'8 will raise outside skills faster than 7'3 ?

You're correct about a player's hight effecting training speed.

And yes, two-position-training is a lot slower indeed. No one has actual numbers, but almost every experienced manager will tell you to do one-position-training where possible.

So how is it possible to train a small forward? There is no training that is specifically designated for SF's I beleive. Do I play that player at a different position in scrimmages?
