Just saw this message - sorry I did not reply sooner. I believe you were in contact with me via BB-mail? My recommendation was to sell the player, since you are a new team and probably not in a position to train him effectively. In any case, thanks for getting in touch. I have added him to the tracking list.

you've got mail.


Thanks - you will notice that he is prominently mentioned in this thread as the #3 PG 19 year old prospect in the country: (121627.1). I'm guessing you will be training him as a SG, though? Is there any way to convince you to train him as a PG? We always seem to have a log jam at SG.

Weekly salary: $ 6 301

DMI: 27000
Age: 18
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: average
Driving: average Passing: average

Of course Pusher, you know that this guy is a damn good player and of course he should make the U21 :D....... Though I have not been able to get a skill pop in anything but stamina XD. I hate it how mid height players are harder to train (in my opinion, don't know if this is true).

Yes I am using a lvl 4 trainer...... problems have occured though....

Usually I could not train because one of the trainees got injured or the minutes were not all 48 XD... last Friday (Jan 8) was the only week that I got to train haha :)... and i still didnt get a skill pop... instead my PG and SG both got skill pops XD.... sadly my SG's height is 6'0 and PG is 6'3 haha....

I am making him an SF haha.... :)

I actually picked up a German with a similar skills set + height and have had 3 pops in 2 weeks. So I don't think height is the issue here.

I kind of wish you had sold him (as you know, I was willing to buy him if you had listed him for less money). It looks like he is languishing on your team... If this continues, he will not make the U21.

Your issues with training are probably mostly that he is not getting enough minutes at the training position (the drop is not linear for less than 48 minutes). Other possible reasons were outlined by AM and chris above.

So are you saying that if all three trainees don't get the full 48 minutes you just go with stamina training?

Weekly salary: $ 4 259

DMI: 38500
Age: 18
Height: 6'8" / 203 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: proficient
Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: pitiful Handling: average
Driving: average Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: respectable ↑ Inside Def.: average ↑
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: average

Have gotten a few pops, should I train stamina at all or just leave it for now?
Was planning on training inside shot/defense for most this season with a little 1on1 and maybe some pressure or passing.
