Anyone that can answer on what lengths that are recommended to not lose effect on training due to length?

I have a 2.06 tall SG, will I lose training efficiency on him if I train Outside shooting and Jump Shot. Might sell him instead and get money for a better trainee.

when only training JS and OS you dont need to worry that much about height. BBs explained a few seasons ago, that tall players dont have a huge disadvantage due to their height regarding shooting. the reason why they did this is, some of the best shoooters in the NBA are pretty tall (e.g. Dirk Nowitzki)

however if you want to train also passing, OD or Handling (this I'd recommend by the way) then you should transfer your tall SG.

Maybe BB wants this slow down. Maybe it wants to be like...gulp...Hattrick...where to be a top team you can't train your own players, you have to buy them. Maybe.

I have to disagree with that... BB is alot about how you train your players, as well as selling and buying them but you have to start with training before you can buy or sell. The more you train a player, the more he is worth and therefore you can sell him to buy a younger trainee and so on. It is probably best to sell him and find another, shorter trainee.

Alright, here is some info about outside defense, only PG, training. Sorry it has taken so long for me to put these up, but the last few months have been pretty busy in the real world.

So, I trained pressure training solely for PG from the end of August until mid-October, breaking only one week for stamina training during the all-star break. Unfortunately, only one of my trainees received full training every week, but I'm guessing that will be extremely helpful nevertheless.

Trainer = Level 10, reduced to Level 9 sometime during training (don't know exactly when), and is a current Level 5 in the new staff system.

Player A --> U21 US national team player, 20 years old, 6'1" (185 cm), all guard skills at the start of training were between 7 and 13, . He received full training every week.

Week 1 --> OD to 9, HN to 10
Week 2 --> OD to 10
Week 3 --> No pops
Week 4 --> OD to 11, ID to 4
Week 5 --> No pops
Week 6 --> OD to 12
Week 7 --> No pops
Week 8 --> No pops


Player B --> 19 year old, 6'0" (183 cm), guard skills were between 4 and 8 at the start of training (JS and JR 4/5 respectively, other guard skills at 7/8)

Week 1 (Full training) --> OD to 9, HN to 7
Week 2 (47 minutes) --> No pops
Week 3 (31 minutes) --> No pops
Week 4 (Full) --> OD to 10, ID to 2
Week 5 (Full) --> No pops
Week 6 (Full) --> OD to 11
Week 7 (Full) --> No pops
Week 8 (40 minutes) --> OD to 12

Then, to add a little more info, the week after I finished pressure training, I trained both guards in 1 on 1, SG/PG, and neither popped in handling. So, clearly the secondary training for HN and DV is extremely small. My best guess estimate for the first post:

Pressure
PG:
Trains OD @ 2 weeks
Trains ID @ 8+
Trains HN @ 8+
Trains DV @ 8+

Comments, suggestions, inquiries...
