Both are decent trainees. Training your own draftees is always better.

1st guy is better now but 2nd will be better long term. I would get a level 4 trainer (for less then $20k per week) and focus on training Pressure (OD) for a bit. To do this make sure they both play 48 mins at PG each week.

When they 2nd one hits 10 OD I would swap to passing till both are at least 10. That will keep you going more then the coming season. Then look at what you need then.

Best.
Draft.
Ever.

Not one but three superstars.

Pat Banks may be 19 but he is insane and surely even at 19 could be an U21 player. The other two need a lot of work. No way I can keep all three so some tough decision needs to be made in the next week or so.

Hello? Hello secondaries? 3 x atrocious on JR, HD and DR, far out. At least its not too bad.

Still - 7'2. MVP potential. Respectable and average inside skills. Mediocre JS and OD and PS.

If only my 3rd player had some potential.
