Hello all, this season I had been training two guards (Mardefons and Okada). I do not plan to train Okada further next season, as he is reaching age 24. Mardefons, on the other hand, is still my top trainee, guard with decent inside skills. I'm seeking training suggestions for his next season. Is it possible for a 6'2" to be shaped into a good SF? Not national level, but a competitive player in League III. Thanks in advance, all recommendations are welcome :)


Adriano Mardefons (20869478)
Age: 20
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: perennial allstar

Jump Shot: marvelous Jump Range: tremendous
Outside Def.: prolific Handling: strong ↑
Driving: proficient ↑ Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: average


Takahiko Okada (16975188)
Age: 23
Height: 6'0" / 183 cm
Potential: perennial allstar

Jump Shot: prodigious Jump Range: sensational
Outside Def.: wondrous Handling: sensational ↑
Driving: prolific ↑ Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: mediocre

is it possible, and league three level for sure but it is hard work. And when i see your guy, i would train him in Passing and maybe OD first, before thinking about it and that will take a while too. Maybe on comparable levels to okada in those two skills.

For my oppinion you should train him more in out def, one on one, passing, if you want to raise his price train him more in Inside shot.
