thanks. this is all incredibly helpful for someone who doesn't really do basketball like me.
I'm messing around with lineups just to see what happens at the moment, and I've started to buy a few trainee guards for the future, as my inside guys seem much better than my outside guys at present
from what you have said, training defence might be the way to go in the short term I think, although it looks like the key is rotating training a little, rather than being blindly wedded to a single regime.
How many trainees would you say are required?
so far, I've got the following, with 4 'proper' trainees, and 1 useful player who can pick up some training here and there
18 SG x 2
19 PG
19 SF
19 C (started with him)
I then got dealt these four in my starting team, who all seem semi-trainable, and can be used as spare trainees if required.
19 PF (almost useless)
21 PG (3rd choice PG)
21 SG (decentish player)
21 SF (not great)
the basic plan is still a week or two of stamina whilst I wait for a decent coach to hire, and then train the guys above.
I'm intending to go for the PG/SG type level of training, rather than training only one player, or the maxiumum possible.
Is that a good idea?
