Let's take a last overview at the player pool.
Player pool:TSP = total skill points
Birgersson
(33689846), 33 years, PF, 131 TSP (+0). Hopefully his manager has a carrerr ext. coach. He could save him 1-2 seasons more.
Säfen
(35350416), 31 years, SG, 129 TSP (+0). For me the greatest swedish guard. It was a pleasure to have him in the team and a big thanks to Ryss and Manon for training him.
Sunesson
(36171202), 31 years, G, 121 TSP (+0).
Stjärnland
(36976134), 30 years, G/SF, 129 TSP (+0).
Lagerhall
(36171154), 30 years, C, 108 TSP (+0). Thanks to him and the other bigs, we never had a problem at PF/C during the last seasons.
Smol
(36975202), 30 years, G, 146 TSP (+0). Mr. TSP. I think there was never before a swedish player who reached 146 TSP. Always a threat...
Westerlund
(36975313), 29 years, PF/C, 128 TSP (+0). Besides Birgersson my first choice for the inside positions. Always a reliable player.
Lövlind
(36975297), 29 years, G/F, 128 TSP (+0). Didn't play a lot, but I'm still a big fan of his skill set
Tjäderborg
(36975226), 30 years, PF/C, 125 TSP (+2).
Danielsson
(37787598), 29 years, C, 109 TSP (+0).
Johansson
(37787040), 28 years, 137 TSP (+7). Great player for a couple of specific tactics! His skill set is unique in the team.
Tunglund
(38588455), 27 years, G, 120 TSP (+2).
Gustavsson
(38588303), 27 years, G, 128 TSP (+5). He was outstanding last season. The swedish NT has a phenomenal outside core and this guy is one of the main factors!
Martinsson
(39342531), 26 years, G, 124 TSP (+2). Great, young guard!
Höstner
(39342611), 26 years, SF, 125 TSP (+6). One of the rare players, who are primaly trained for SF.
Ahlhult
(39342633), 26 years, SG, 117 TSP (+6).
Hammarstrand (36975203), 29 years, C, 120 TSP (+1).
Molen
(40186543), 25 years, G, 123 TSP (+8). With 1-2 more seasons, he could reach Säfen and be a greater inside threat then the big master ever was. Molen will be one of the new core players of the outside team.
Svensson
(35350361), 31 years, PF/C, 115 TSP (+2).
Falborn,
(40186795), 25 years, 113 TSP (+7).
Hagelell,
(41772275), 24 years, TSP 108 (+6). Completely balanced. A SF/PF type of player.
Klangbeck,
(40186451), 25 years, G, TSP 100 (+5). Has to train harder or he will lose his chance.
Haraldsson,
(41772348), 23 years, TSP 110 (+11). He made a great leap. With him, the third wave of swedish guards is already building up.
Fjelmar,
(41772261), 23 years, TSP 103 (+5).
Rengren,
(41772140), 23 years, TSP 102 (+10). Like Haraldsson, trained by Seppu, he will be an outstanding guard.
Like you can see, there is a clear line up guards:
Säfen, Smol and Gustavsson (1. wave)
Martinsson, Molen, Ahlhult (2. wave)
Haraldsson, Rengren, Fjelmar (3.wave)
Supported by a couple of SFs, there is a strong foundation for the NT. But like I said a couple of seasons ago, the PF and C position will be the key factor. Currently there are still players like Westerlund, Lagerhall and Danielsson, who can fill in without any problems. But without the right replacements, the guards will have a hard time.
I wish you and the new NT, whoever it will be, only the best. I hope the current players will give you enough time to improve the team further and be more successful.
I enjoyed my time beeing your NT coach and it was a pleasure to work with you on all these great players.
Bye guys.
