Thanks for that. I have played him at centre and have been considering doing so. Of course, you`re right. His defensive weakness will be less exposed at the centre position.

Playing him at centre would cause a problem however because my current starting centre is my best inside defender and inside scorer. He has also led my league in blocking during the last two seasons. So, I am reluctant to play Hennessy at centre yet. Once he has improved more then I may move him to centre. I have aquired an 18 year old power forward to train alongside Hennessy so he may become my power forward for the future.

To be honest the biggest reason I love playing this game is because I love developing players. Seeing young players improve season after season gives me more satisfaction than winning games. Some people may think that`s wrong but hey we all play this game for different reasons.

Thanks to all of you for your comments. They are all much appreciated.

Mark

hey man i know plenty of guys who for them a big reason they keep playing this game is training there young guns.

im about to join the ranks of trainers myself having got a 18 yr old very balanced mvp potential guy :)

ive invested in a lv 7 trainer to get those pops coming :)

whats your od of your current center ? if its higher then 1 he will do just as good playing pf as he will center n be less of a liability on def then your current pf

If your C has better OD than atrocious, switch the defensive assignments so that your PF defends as C and your C defends as PF. his inside D will help against PFs quite a bit, too.

My centre has only 1 in OD too. Blimey I need to revamp my front line. I need a young PF with good starting OD which I can train.

love that you said blimey but i wouldnt go that drastic yet if your still winning, if you are keep going on the path you are till start of next season, move the guy to back up center then (start him once a week) and pick up a young 18 yr old pf with atleast mediocre outside def.

I`ve got a couple of 18 year old PFs that I am considering bidding on. They both have respectable OD and there other primary skills are pretty good. My thinking is this.

I continue to train Hennessy on IS RB JS and driving more to match his future as a centre. My young PF will receive training in those too of course. then next season I could add some OD and JR for my young PF as well as rounding off Hennesseys other skills. What do you think of that idea. If it doesn`t work out then I could always sell the young PF near the end of the season for a profit then get another one at the beginning of next season.

Do you have any idea of how many pops Hennessey might have left before he reaches his ceiling? Also, how old do you think I should continue to train him too. I have read that it`s not worth training anyone beyon 22. He might get one or two pops but it will be very slow?

Thanks for all of the help.
