If you don't one position train you do not have a hope of making the U21. This is because now all the other managers will be single position training and by not doing so your player falls behind.

I also sincerely believe that single position training is the best way to develop your team in the long run, I know the majority here will still disagree but it works wonders.

But, what if you have a core of solid players that you'd like to hang on to? I have five players that form a good nucleius for my team. It allows me to stay in games I would have otherwise lost. So, what does one do?

I have 6 people I train. 3 Are my main guys who will each get 48 minutes when I single position train. The other 3 get the rest of the minutes when I train something such as JS or 1v1 which I'm forced to train two position. As a result I have developed some very good guards which have helped me be successful.

Each manager has his own style but the bottom line is if you have a prospect you want to get to an "Elite" Level however you define it, Single position training is the only way thats going to get them to that level.

Single position is the only way to get them to that level ** in the short run. Long term two position training can be as effective.

I am also a firm supporter of single position training, but I think it comes with the caveat that you have to be willing to transfer players. When I was just starting out I bought a couple guys, trained them, sold them off in waves and bought younger/better players each time. Also use your single position players to upgrade your other positions. Train 3 PGs for a season, keep one, sell two, buy one good young replacement PG, and one good older big man.

Why not instead of saying this is the min. skills needed, we post some of the better player's stats at the beginning of their 21 yo season from the past couple seasons. We can take the names off if we need to. Sorta say "This is an exemplary SG and what we are hoping to see".

Rating and salary are not terribly decisive in getting a player on the U21. Although officially Velasco's suggested position is Shooting Guard, he is nearly useless there, and a much better choice at SF.


I Figured this was the case, and it is quite common. My team uses a SG and PF as SF mostly as well. Suggested position doesnt mean much.

I do think that a more well rounded player like the one mentioned, with a lower salary and ratings, belonging to a player that trains but doesnt participate in offsite discussions-this player has a low chance of even being scouted, let alone making the team.

Team USA is awaiting the arrival of Gabriel Nixon


My Tracy Owen (also 19, also guard, also superstar, though I didn't draft him) challenges your Gabriel Nixon to a duel.

Looking forward to seeing where the soon-to-be 20-year-olds stack up at the turn of the season.

Maybe send mail to the owners of the teams those players are in and tell them how to train them appropriately.
