this discussion is pointless... the influence of height on rebounds and other skills is explained in the rules so there's no point in discussing it further....

Hey mate,
I have picked up a guy 6'3 who came with Strong RB & ID.... I assume his ID will go up after a few sessions of OD this season.. just wanted to ask how long you reckon for RB (age 22) at this height.. Also when training JS is it best to train Forwards so that he has a chance of his IS popping as well?
Cheers,
SG

Well that guy is looking like a complete SF at the making, so i would invest on ID/OD/IS/JS and maybe JR. I don't feel that rebs are that important to get more than 8, considering that he will be the 3rd rebber on ur line up. From my experience training a 6'3 guy big men skills its hard, and considering his age, you cant afford to train rebs too.

Your big man Garcia that is on the market, looks great prospect as SF too. Little tall to get decent dwarf training but still very nice secondary skills


Thanks for replies..
I actually rate RB pretty high and believe that it proves quite useful throughout the whole team.
I'm really experimenting with the SF position and have yet to decide the type of SF I prefer. I favour the small guys (i guess cos they are rarer)....Ramos is my new SF project and i just hope that he still has some skill-ups in him at OD... but the complete SF is still a way off. Everyone still has 1 or more niggling deficient stat and my attempts with Bastias showed me how long a 6'10 guy takes to train at OD.... having said that I think it is definitely worth the effort.

Your dominating your league so you have the luxury for mono training etc, without afraid to lose any games, so you can gamble, and do w/e you like. If i was at your position maybe i could try to convert a guy 6'10 to a PG lol

Well i had a 6ft 5 guy take 5 or 6 weeks to go up a level but he was allstar only and is i imagine v.close to his soft cap.

I dont document things exactly but i think the move on Bastias from Strong to Proficient was 6weeks in PG/SG.

I hope to have some new data in a season or so from now!

I rarely mono-train as i feel the risk is too high.... having said that it is only recently i have made purchases of players with greater than Allstar potential.

This season I hope to use some weeks to try single position as i phase out the training of my soon to be 24yo's and if the minutes fail I will take the opportunity to train stamina or free throws.

I guess the next question is what experience do people have of training 23-25yo's?

I imagine there are some great players that potentially could still be improved to even greater more rounded long term stars for their respective teams. Will managers devote the time to 'polishing' them or simply look to sell on buy a better base trainee and start the process again?

Well as i said b4 you can do everything you like, but without specific needs, i will go to a high potential young guy and give him the best possible training. You dont need to train an older player even that my experience is that you can train a 24-25 y/o player

I trained my 23 year old (now 24 year old) best player last season and the training speeds weren't that much slower compared to the rates for 18 year olds, until he hit the dreaded potential cap and stopped reacting to training.

So if a player has a very high potential, the training shouldn't be that much slower for a 23 year old player.
