very nice trainees. i like their OD, most people make well-rounded sf''s and they forget that they will mostly face outside minded sf's, actually sg's. So OD is still the most important skill to sf.

ok so i deceded to post my trainees as well-

Should I train some more Shotblocking or is 7 enough for a starting center?

I would train SB, but many consider SB to be rather ineffective & too expensive ... one or two levels in OD wouldn't hurt him in my opinion, while it would still be low for him OD 3 would be a lot better than 1

What do you guys think about, besides their low potential of star?

Low Potential! :O Im just kidding :) With their height and potential I would probably make them a PF/SF. Although they are lacking a little in OD and PA, but that can be made up. Also start training REB, but you already knew that. Good trainees :)

I picked all there up late in the season with no training.
1st one: December 5th
2nd one: January 7th
3rd one: January 13th

I have a level 6 trainer, will be doing some One on One and PA for the first half of next season and then OD.

I suggest that you work on trying to make them SF/PF type of players because neither of them are that tall, which would slow down training as just a big man, but if you train them like SF's then they could be much more productive and the star potential wont effect them as much. Id train the first one as an SF and the second one as a PF, and then train forwards on 1v1 for awhile to get some helpful pops in random skills.
