He is one of the best PFs in BB, and I cannot believe that he is not on the USA U-21.

* Ranks #5 in FT made

He should be considered for the U-21, if not already on it.

Says the guy that had one of the greatest US prospects of all time and decided not to train him...

Hopefully Henry is not following in Diehl's footsteps.

Not true at all. Diehl is a true Small Forward, and I am trying to get him back to that position. Henry is a true PG, and I am training him there. Since I only used Diehl as a PG because I had nobody else last season, and my trainer was a joke, Diehl is not where he should be.

Right now, Diehl is my starting SF, and I am training him there.

Without any training at all, you could have sold Diehl at the beginning of last season for around 1m, at least.

Not training him has cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Look;

I am trying to build a team. I am not interested in being an incubator for bigger clubs. As for not training him, that is categorically false. I had a lvl 1 trainer, which did zilch. Since I changed trainers (to a lvl 4) three weeks ago, my players started popping. Diehl is finally starting to respond to the training given to him at SF. However, it would be easier if you had a singular option on training, instead of being buried as part of something else, making SF a virtual step-child.

Right now, my team is being built around 3 players: Henry, McCurdy and Diehl. When I draft next season, I will be drafting for need, since I have around 100K to my teams' name, I cannot buy big guns or upgrade my arena. So, I play with the cards dealt to me. I am sorry if people don't understand that.

Perhaps you could use a mentor Ray? I think what they are saying is that your player was worth a lot of money as a fresh 18 yo trainee. At 19, he isn't worth nearly as much. You could have sold the player, upgraded your arena, and bought a slightly older but more developed player to fill the same role. Then you would be in a better situation now and could concentrate on just training a couple of players (or a singlular position).
