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.

"VELASCO!.... VELASCO!.... He didn't really mean it! Coco was just worked up, that's all. VELASCO!... come back!... You'll always be a shooting guard to me!"

Right before the playoffs! You could have timed it a little better Coco! Thanks a lot!

This is already done by the NT/U21 Coach, you'd be surprised at the number of managers new or old who a) Never respond b)Think they already know the best way to train their player (Yes some older managers do know how they want to develop them best for their team however there is a large amount of new managers that have no clue ruin the player and then are gone from BB 3-4 Months down the road).

Out of the Top 10 Rookies by salary in last years draft, 3-4 are being trained well, 2 are retired, and who knows about the rest

I'd be willing to show some of my New Zealand players' skills. Pretty sure we're not a hotly-scouted country haha.

Agree with FatCurry. I'd say about 1/3 of the people I have contacted even bother to respond. Even less take advice on simple things like how to get him 48 minutes per week or why you shouldn't play him 100+ minutes a week.
