I'm still here. Admittedly I was a little distracted the last week or so.

That being said, I don't think I'm a savvy enough scouter to have done anything differently.

I'm not upset about not promoting. This gives me another season to get my team in order.

In the draft, I got a role player, a bench warmer and this guy:

Leslie Toney (9208950) Center
Owner:
X-steppers

Weekly salary:
$ 2 119
DMI: 0
Age: 18
Height: 6'7" / 201 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: atrocious Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: mediocre
Driving: awful Passing: inept
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: inept Free Throw: inept

Experience: atrocious


Is there any reason in the world to attempt to train this guy?

So basically my 20,000.00 a week last season netted me 3 guys I get to cut/use as friendly fodder. If I hadn't already cut my scouting spending, I'd do it right now.

So that puts me into a tough spot.

Mina, my clear cut #1 player had his salary jump to 20,000.00 a week. I guess I need to sell him and find a replacement on the TL. 22 is too old to train when your highest skill is tremendous. Right?

Weekly salary: $ 20 479
DMI: 125400
Age: 22
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: tremendous Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: prominent Handling: average
Driving: proficient Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: prominent

Experience: inept

Na, he's trainable, esp when he's your best player. work him in JS, OD and handling, maybe get him a couple pops in each and he's very solid.

How can I best exploit a team that always plays a 3-2 zone when the bulk of my scoring ability comes from my guard?

He's got proficient driving does that help me with L/I? or Motion?

I'd try him at SF and run LI depending on his Inside Shot.
