I would try and get his IS, ID and Rebounding all up to prominent. Start with IS training until IS is up to respectable. Then rotate between the 3 skills.

I would also give him some One on One training and Jump Shot training.

Very nice players. I would give both of them some extra ID though. Well done on the guard skills though.

The first 2 look like good trainees. Third guy has low skills for his age so i would look at replacing him next season, hopefully you can draft an 18 year old big man with good potential

here are my main 2 trainees. ive had the first one since beginning of last season and the other one i bought few weeks into last season.

Those guys are ok players in your league, but when looking for new players put a premium on secondaries. Big men with solid secondaries can cost less and are far more effective.

What do you think of this guy? He's my best (and only) prospect, although I have a lot of money. I would like to build a really defensive team, but i'm not sure what i'd like to do offensively, maybe a good passing and shooting team. So what do you think I sholud do with him?

work on his rebounding, this lacks to much for a guy of his size but having this OD for a Big Man is really special and could make him to a very strong and asked player.

Are you sure he's your only prospect? Your entire team is made up of 18 and 19 year olds.

You have six trainees so I would consider two position training for the rest of the season (rebounding, jumpshot, or 1-on-1).
