While I do agree with the others that mentioned training JS I would forgo that for now, while he is still young I would maximize his inside skills since he is only 6'9. You will sprinkle in 1v1 periodically which will help his JS, but I think what is going to make him dominant is getting the big man skills up 2 levels each next season at least then work from there.

Judging by the quality of your team I'd say no.

fine i give up trying to help people, i was taught by one of the best australian managers that payed this game, ill stick by what i was taught.

I know I'll regret getting involved in this but ............
Don't be such an arrogant pr!ck Zyler. Trying to help is good but seriously, I just read thru some of your comments to few of the other lads and cringed at the fact you are an Aussie. Pull your head in.
I know bugger all about this game, but I do know that box scores give you a reasonable indication about secondary skills for players i.e. 5 star centre with 6 assists = average / respectable for inside skills plus bonus of nice passing coz it don't count in their salary. 5 star SG or SF with 6 assists = average / respectable JS JR plus bonus of nice passing coz it don't count in their salary. 5 star PG with 4 blocks = average / respectable H, P, OD plus bonus of ID/SB coz it don't count in their salary.
BOX SCORE DOES MEAN SOMETHING. Not much, but only a proper goose would completely discount certain relavent information.
My two bobs worth. Please refrain from making Aussies look like a pack of know-all w@nkers from now on.

PS. I've had a few atrocious FT shooters and NEVER have they hit anywhere near 4/4.
I would bet my house on the fact that any draftee that's hit 4/4 is not atrocious.

After that unfortunate ugliness and back on topic, here is my rook.
12 pops thus far.

the only person i was being arrogant towards was shaq and that because in so many past threads he has given out so much wrong information and t seems the only way to get through to him is to be like that.

as for the rest of what you said about me if thats how you feel i cant do anything about it, i am who i am and i voice my thoughts the way i do personally ive read almost every thread in these forums, i now know so much about this game that im currently developing a team scouter program as well as a training program.

im sorry if i seem like a prick to you, or anyone else im just trying to make sure people get the correct information.

which is that the box scores are highly unreliable , i read this in many threads in the past and have seen my self to be true.

once again im sorry if i upset anyone .

Well I didn't show the skills or the other player's name but ok.

You've played the game for one season. So in one draft you've somehow deduced this information. Interesting. I've drafted for three seasons now with incredibly positive results, the box score is not decieving if you know how to read it correctly.

One of my biggest assets on this game is my ability to study statistics and acquire and place the best team I can have out there. I've based many of my decisions on this principle and it hasn't steered me wrong yet, so get off your high horse mr AUS Division IV promotee. From the way you talk, you will give Superfly a run for his money... -_-

And by reading correctly, I mean basing skills based on salary and stats. Therefore, a 3 ball player who scores 40, I can deduce is not Kobe Bryant. However if a A+ guard scores 40, his JS is probably respectable with a high sublevel.

Using this, I've pinpointed exact skills on opposing players, one guy asked me if I could see his skills.
