Congrats. Nice buy.

What I'd try to do is get heavy 1 position training out of the way as early as possible. I think inside scoring for centre would be optimal training. 7 handling and 7 driving means you don't need those trained urgently right now (if you were to train forward 1-on-1), while 1 inside scoring is urgently needed to be improved. It's only possible to raise atrocious inside scoring to a sufficient level with a lot of inside scoring training and 1 position training is the "harder" way to train. If you can get a good chunk of the harder training out of the way at age 18, it'll be easy sailing later on.

Inside scoring for centre, pressure for point guard, inside defence for centre, and 1-on-1 for forwards would be my top 4 choices if you could train those.

He's on track to be a U21 starter next year.
He could get some 1/1 for forwards.

Considering
a) he's going to be a starter?
b) you posted his skills for other managers to see

> Outside Def.: atrocious <

is not going to get it done.

A smart U21 manager from another country will eat that for breakfast.

If you commit to him, I think you should really commit to a few OD pops. You're training a second big man as far as I can tell (your 9k PF), and he would benefit from the training as well.

If you're up for it, you should also train them single position pressure at point guard for the full 100% training.

7 weeks this season.

I guess you can leave his atrocious free throws for now, because can can hit some (.155) which means he has at least some sublevel.

I would give him a stamina pop so he doesn't tire so easily. If you want him to start and not have performance fade, stamina will help.

So...

1 OD pop (1-2 weeks depending on sublevel)
1 ST pop (same)

After that it depends on your (or the U21 coach's) preference for more offense or defense.

1 IS + 1 JS pop for offense
1 ID + 1 SB pop for defense

If time, add a pop of rebounding.

I would also start keeping his minutes per week in the 60-65 range to demonstrate you can keep a player in strong-proficient GS. Then he will actually play up to his skills and be eligible to play in U21 games.

Thank you very much, Cletus. I appreciate the help! I will probably be messaging you with further questions.
