Hi,

As a newbie player, I want to ask questions about training. Let's say I want to train PF and C positions and one of the players played 24 mins each. Does he get full training as played in a position for 48 minutes?

Moreover, is it better to focus one position or 2 positions can work well too? I read in some threads about a rotation training, how does that happen? I have a 18 yr old C and 19 yr old point guard that can be promising. Any suggestions about my strategy?

Does other player get training at all when they play positions other than the trained ones? How about game shape and stamina- how they get affected?

Thanks

NO,it's less.It;s better to train a player 48 min that 2 players at 24 min because 24/48*100 it is not 50% it's much less,at least that is what i read on forums,but there is no formula yet,only the BB creators know it.For the other question it's the fist time i heard this term so i'll be waiting the answer with the same intrest as u

Either me or you has misunderstood the question. :)

If you train C AND PF, both position count. A player with 24 min as C and 24 min as PF gets full training. The sum of the minutes played as either C or PF is relevant.

u meant is is irrelevant.

No no, I meant relevant.
30 min as C and 18 min as PF = full training (if training on 2 positions C/PF)

lol I am sorry my question caused conflict about the answer :)
so I can get full training right? I got confused with the conflicting answers.

yes u get full training if u train 2 positions,and play the 2 players on training positions but different position.hope u understand what i wanted to say

didn't read to careful the sentence,sorry

If you are training PF/C the player gets credit for all his minutes at either position.

A player also gets credit for all minutes when determining whether he maintains his game shape or not. So let's say that you were training PF/C and had a player who had 36 minutes at PF and 14 at SF. He would get skill training based on his 36 minutes at PF - but his game shape would be based on all 50 minutes.

Stamina does not depend on playing in games. It used to, but that has been changed. All players will gradually lose stamina, but it appears that maybe one week of stamina training a season will maintain it once players get to a reasonable level.

You can either concentrate on a single position, or perhaps PG/SG or PF/C. If you train 2 positions, you can usually train 5 players per week. You might use a SF as a 5th or 6th trainee rather than having a 3rd string PF/C. And if you were training JS, you could train PF/SF and leave the C out of training that week, or maybe use your best C as the PF in the scrimmage.

Players don't get any training based on positions other than the positions you train that week. Some skills can be trained for all positions. More players get training, but each player gets less training.

Rotation training probably refers to training different skills, so you might train IS one week, ID the next, rebounding the 3rd, etc. You want players to have well rounded skills. You really don't have to do a pure rotation, but you should get a player trained in all his important skills.

You should have at least a couple of young players who can benefit from training at each position that you train. In your case, I would make a decision on training the 18 YO C or the 19 YO PG, and getting another young player to train along side him; otherwise you could be wasting a lot of your potential training.

I just started playing and am wondering what I should train.

I have stamina training ATM. What kind of stamina level is considered sufficient?

Thanks!

You have a lot of big men who can be trainees. I would suggest training the C/PF positions. The usual rotation for those positions is 2 weeks of IS, ID, RB, and SB each. So you would do inside shot for two weeks and then move onto inside defense for two weeks.

A good level of stamina I suppose would be "respectable" if you're just starting out. But I have a good number of players that are worse than that.
