I think an important issue is for NT players to have club stability, not being transferred every other week. That's why I think NT staff has to work together with club owners to ensure the skills and salaries of the players make sense both for the NT and the club. I also think it could help the versatility of the NT, with a wider array of usable tactics to beat difficult opponents.
With that in mind, I'd like candidates to answer a couple of questions.
What emphasis do you put on non-primary skills?
If you have been involved in the program in the past, can you give me an example of not selecting the player with the highest salary, providing their skills if possible? Answer hypothetically if you have never been involved with the NT yet.
well, to answer your non primary skills:
advtange of having good secundairies: it can help in other area's: for example. and SG with rebounding could be interesting. especially if he has a bitt of ID aswell, then you could play him as a SF and have a great shooting advantage. disadvantage in that case would be that you give up a bitt in inside defense and rebounding.
disadvantage of having good secundairies:
well their are a few infact:
1) it means that you'll hit your cap sooner ( especially for players with potential such as perenial allstar and superstar, it will mean that you'll have less room to put your skills into)
2) when you trian player to a high lvl, then it means that those secundairies, which you won't always use in the best possible way, will be adding alot of salary to your player.
example: you have 2 SG's
SG 1:
JS 18 JR 11
OD 17 HA 10
DR 12 PA 10
IS 1 ID 1
RB 1 SB 1
ST 7 FT 7
XP 3
SG 2:
JS 18 JR 11
OD 17 HA 10
DR 12 PA 10
IS 1 ID 7
RB 7 SB 1
ST 7 FT 7
XP 3
first SG will cost you $93676 a week ( according to HOW8 BB salary calculator) where as the second one will cost you $136736. for the NT, the second one is more interesting, but it means that the club needs to pay 40k per week more for that player for skills it will most likely never even make use of.

for the providing skills part. i hope you don't mind, but as a NT coach, the managers wouldn't like you showing off the skills of their player on the forum. When being a NT coach, you are supposed to keep the skillset of the player to yourself, and not to share em around. Theirfor, even tho i'd love to show you an example, it would mean giving someone else info over a player that you might face, and theirfor i won't show anyone. what i can show you is this:
this player:
(2597824) has been on BB for a while. yet he has never been selected into the NT. Why? he's got 62k salary, which is the highest salary for a belgian SF at this current point. but he's only got some jumpshot and jumprange. he hasn't got alot of outside defence, neither does he have alot of inside defence. players such as
(9438514) and
(9440316) might have less salary, but they are way better defenders, and their shooting is almost as good.
i hope that answers your question.

ps: do note that those in the NT now aren't the actual selection. i just need to update the whole database, and i'll be continuing the update soon during the weekend, after which, in the event that i'd be re-elected, i'll be reselecting the actual NT players right after the weekend.
