2 - Train Bigs. The National program (at U21 level too) has need of good bigs.
Look for the following criteria:
a) Height at 208 cm minimum (taller the better - they train faster).
b) Salary about 3k at minimal
c) Skills at MINUMUM. The higher the better obviously
Rb - 6; IS - 5, ID - 6 (if you're looking to train a PF, JS - 5)
These are your PRIMARY SKILLS.
d) At least ALLSTAR potential (as with Guards).
If looking towards making national representation, a Japanese Big with potential of at least ALLSTAR. The reason that this is different than to guards is that if you want the possibility of making a National Team, then the candidate will need to be Allstar, or preferably better. Again tho': do not break the balance on this.

The reason I suggest you train two position is because:
a) You get more players faster and your squad grows stronger faster
b) Your trainees will have low potential. They’ll cap very soon, so its ok to take your time training them.
c) You can sell of the trainees later on to make some money to upgrade your trainee to one with better starting skills or potential. Or even buy some nice starters for your team.
d) Managing minutes when you’re new and unfamiliar with your team can be tricky. Two position training makes it easier to get 48+ minutes for all your trainees.

5. Your Arena
You’ll need to start building on your arena. If possible always try to build small projects with your extra cash.
Trust me, the arena is your lifeline for revenue.
Look towards building bleachers first, and add Lower/courtside/luxury boxes every now and then.
If it is always full, you need to start building more seats! If you’re unsure of prices, or how many to build, just look at the other teams in your division for guidance. Or ask someone!

Good luck...
