oops sorry i was to write 1-2 pops in JS and i dunno y i wrote 1-2 pops in passing.
and yes once i posted the last post and logged out i reflected that i had written a bit low driving for him.it would be nice to have his driving trained to about 13.
i will edit the last post.;)

Those are my 2 best trainees:

id - 16 or 17

buddy he needs a lot of OD(atleast 14 regardless of the fact whether u want him to be a SG,PG or a SF).aprt from this he need to be trained in passing as well.average is a bit too low for any parameter player.i would love some more driving too.
so the next season training plan should be-
OD to atleast tremendous followed by passing to proficient(atleast).then u can train him in driving to about sensational and then JS needs to be pumped up to atleast sensational.then u can work on his inside skills starting with ID to atleast sensational and then reb to about prolific and then u will have a player which i have posted a few posts back.

i would train the first one into an PF because your second trainee is a lot better for potential and as he is a C you will be training inside skills but both are nice trainees

Looking to make him into a great PG who has some offensive skills. I am going to train passing to prominent, then what should I train next? I'm hopeful he will make either U21 or NT team.

How many times did you have to train OD three weeks for a pop? Or did he pop every two weeks regularly?

I finally decided what i want to train for the next 3 seasons. I'm training guards for the next three seasons, i recently bought an 18 year old point guard that i'm currently training, and below is his skills and my plans for him.

___________________________
Last week i trained Driving so the elastic effect can take place the following week, this week i'm single position training Passing for pg. I want this player to be my starter as soon as possible. And i want him to be a pass first point guard, and the best passer on my team.

I'm planning on training Driving a lot this year. I wish his Outside def was at least mediocre so i can train that, but he'll probably never be a good Outside defender. He'll be a great offensive player, except for his Jump range unfortunately. I may train OD and JR a little bit this year.

But really, i don't want his Jump shot or his Jump range to be higher than his passing. The only offensive skill that i want higher than passing is his Driving, but yet and still, i want both his passing and driving to have similar skills. Also i want his handiling up to proficient or 1 or 2 skills better this season, i don't want this player to turn the ball over more than 1 or 2 times a game. Last year i couldn't decide whether i wanted to train bigs or guards, but now i know who i want to train and will take people's advice now, and stick with guards for the next 3 seasons; what do you think of this player?

Just wait on the draft that guy is horrible and his basically 19 with a salary of $2762. If you going to train prospects start at the beginning of the season.

So, to put it in the simplest terms possible, you're looking to train a guy who won't be able to score from outside, but makes up for it by not being able to play defense? Having a guy at the point who can't score himself but can set up his teammates is great, but not if he's also a turnstile on the defensive side of the court.

Do yourself a favor and start using the following criteria when you're looking for players (and I encourage it for *all* players, not just trainees or guards) :
OD >= mediocre
HD >= mediocre
PA >= mediocre
ID >= mediocre

Or go down to inept if you really feel like it. And then if you find guys who still have atrocious in relevant skills, ignore them. You'll be able to create much, much better players if you don't start with someone else's piece of crap.

Thanks, hurdey and thanks murl, i'll do that and i'll take both of your advices, much appreciated. I agree with you that that's a bad trainee.
