The game is not a sprint. If you don't like the player and do not plan to train FT's more than once in a season. Perhaps just sell him and buy a player that suits your needs. What is your next request? Being able to train anything at any position?
GS training has it's place (for salary capped teams or teams with game shape problems before playoffs). FT training can be used with lvl1 trainer and 20+ players for example.

I totally disagree with you. Shotblocking not only helps players to block shots, it improves their ability to play inside defense. Training GS improves how well your players perform on the court. Both of those facts make me believe that training those skills can be of great value to your team's success.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

In my eyes shotblocking is useless training. I can't imagine bigman which I recommend shotblocking training rather than IS, ID or rebounding. Additional value of higher shotblocking is not equal wage it costs.
GS training can be usefull in some specific situations. I have used it several times.

Shotblocking isn't entirely useless to train, it's good for fine tuning. You might want to take SB from 6 to 9 rather than ID from 16 to 19, depending on what salary you can afford.

It's definitely worthwhile to have some SB on court, but not double-figure levels in terms of performance versus salary, I would suggest.

It's better to train some outside skills for bigmen when ID, IS, REB is high enough than training shot blocking.

You can go that route yes, some guys already have those skills though more passing is always useful.

No. I like realism, and I think it's an idiotic build where a player can shoot the ball really well but can't make a free throw ?

Good for you! I like suspension of reality, which is why I play simulation games.

As for shotblocking, at higher levels the cost of improving shotblocking is basically half that of improving any of the other inside skills. If a guy is 14 at all four inside skills increasing his ID, IS, or REB will increase his salary by about 20k. Increasing his Sb will increase his salary about 10k.

Shot Blocking and Jump Range should be more important than they are now. BBs should change the Game Engine and boost the importance of these 2 skills in order to have more balanced players.
