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.

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.

I might if the problem continues... but for now.... I want to see if he will train this week (most probably since he didn't last week)... all 3 of my trainees had 48 last week and Dupre did not train..... the other two did train.... haha bad luck XD.....

What I also would like to get SOON..... is a lvl 5 trainer.....

This is an incredibly inefficient way to train. As long as you've got two guys at 45+ minutes or three guys at 40+ (or even if you've got two guys in the 40s and your primary trainee at 48+) or whatever I would just train as normal. You will never get any effective training out of your players if you keep doing what you're doing.

Why are you having so much trouble getting 48+ minutes? Are you setting the same player at starter, backup, reserve? How badly are your minutes screwed up?
