He's looking great.

As JR trains JS more than JS trains JR, my suggestion is to rotate between passing, one on one (forwards) and JR for a season.

One on One forwards will train IS, JS, DR and HA.

Outside Shooting will help with JS as well as, obviously, Jump Range.

Passing will also raise a few skills as well.

I think if his inside shot is around 9-10, it'll be enough for a SG to be effective inside..

Regarding ID, I feel that you may want to raise it a few if you find the time to train it, it helps in a Man to Man defence when the opponent drives to the hoop, but otherwise if you play zone defence most of the time, it shouldn't be a worry.

Great player but if you're gonna train him in IS/ID you could try also rebounding.

While Shaq's player is young I would train 1v1 at the PG/SG spot instead of SG/SF forgoing the IS increase in exchange for more JS. I feel that for a SG the IS does not matter as much the driving can override a low IS and higher JS will be more suitable. I would also reccomend unless he is going to do JR single position to train JR once for every 2-3 JS at the PG/SG slots (Again forgoing the IS for more JS).

If his target position however was a SF I would not forgo the IS but thats all to the trainers preference.

i have juststarted to this game played 1 sc and 1 league game so all of my players counts as rookie = ). i need some tips from exp.ed players

This guy played great on my first 2 games with back to back 3s when he gets going and some jams inside. so can i get a jump start with investing him he s 23. or should stick with my 20 yo superstar guy.Also what is best to inc. driving.

Well the 1st guy is the player that you can train him for 2-3 seasons. 2nd doesnt worth it. he is too old to be something significant in the future.
