Pretty sure either RiP or Mogul are the ones to accept people. If you don't hear from one of them shoot RiP a PM.

Cheers and see you there.

Rip is the one who runs the off-site forum. After you sign up for the forum, you need to send Rip a BB-Mail to confirm things, and he'll get your forum access all sorted out.

OK! Thanks guys! I'll send him a pm now. He's pretty familiar with my 2 over paid guys :) They'll be seeing a lot single position training with my Level 7 trainer for seasons to come. Making it to Naismith isn't really in the agenda so I thought I'd better help out Team Canada in some way.

I decided to post a few guidelines about what it would take to make the U21 at the moment.

They are broad guidelines. If your player is on the edge, though, please do not hesitate to send his skills.

For 21 yr olds, at C I would think that the cut-off is about $40,000 in salary. There are already 3 Cs on the team at 50,000+. At PG and SG, a salary of $20,000 is the minimum. Same goes for PF ($20,000) although I would want good secondary skills if his salary is close to $20,000 (ie: respectable-strong JS and some other guard skills that are above awful). For a SF type, I would look at anything above $12,000 in salary, especially if his outside and inside d was above strong.

For 20 yr olds, at C I would think that the cut-off is about $22,500 in salary. At PG and SG, 14,000 minimum. PF maybe $14,000 although again the same emphasis on good secondaries. For SF, basically I would look at anyone's player over $8,000 in salary if he is committed to training a SF.

Still trying to figure out the 19 yr old pool. For the moment, if you have a 19 yr old player with $6,500+ salary and star or better potential, just send me his skills.

If you have an 18 yr old prospect, I would say he would need to have at least star potential for me to track him at the moment. That doesn't mean that he would not necessarily make the team in the future, it is just that I have to draw the line somewhere (please prove me wrong and contact the U21 manager when your player hits 20 and say "see - thenewchuckd doesn't have a clue!"). I'm also only tracking guys who had $4,000+ in salary at the start of the season. Although, for a SF trainer I would go with $3,500+.

If you really read the post carefully....you probably wouldn't ask this question...


'For 20 yr olds, at C I would think that the cut-off is about $22,500 in salary. At PG and SG, 14,000 minimum. PF maybe $14,000 although again the same emphasis on good secondaries. For SF, basically I would look at anyone's player over $8,000 in salary if he is committed to training a SF.'

At age of 19, end of season 12, he will be 20 next season. Answer: No and never..........

Are you serious???

If so the correct answer is NO, not a chance.

Here is a player that MAY have a chance at the U21 team (unfortunatley not Canadian). And to be honest it is not a sure thing. He is also 19 years old so you can get a good comparison.

Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: mediocre
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: prolific Inside Def.: prominent
Rebounding: prolific Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: mediocre

RiP, just a suggestion. Maybe you and The Mogul can put up what skills and potential each player needs to have a chance to make the U21 and NT. Then make it a sticky so that it is always easy to find and then maybe there won't be people always randomly asking if their bad players are good enough.

Yeah that makes sense. I worded what i said wrong though. I didn't mean skills I should have said salary. I know the salary and potential limits have been posted many times, but they get lost and new players may not be able to find them. Of course, this has flaws as well because players with low starting salaries could still become good players, and it would be a shame for someone to not train a player just because he doesn't make the original requirements, but it could be useful to post salary and potential guidelines in a sticky just as a measuring stick.
