For both candidates, give me a training plan for my draftee to make it to Seniors. How would you build it, what position will be his best chance to make Seniors? How much tsp will he end up with? What level of trainer would he need? How long will training take? These are the questions you will mostly encounter when you mentor a newbie just want to know your thought process. This will be my one and only question.
Jump Shot: 7 Jump Range: 1
Outside Def.: 1 Handling: 1
Driving: 7 Passing: 1
Inside Shot: 1 Inside Def.: 7
Rebounding: 7 Shot Blocking: 7
Stamina 7 Ft 7
Height: 6'6 tsp 40 tsp Age 18 (potential mvp)
I think I will mold him to a SF/SG role. He'll be like a 3 & D guy in today's NBA that's capable of playing the small-ball 4 spot. Let's say a Robert Covington type of a build.
I would have the newbie buy an advanced-superior trainer that's cheap enough for him to train the 18 y/o with a youth trainer as well. If he has enough money, then a gym would be useful, too!
I think he'll end up with 120-130 tsp if the manager takes care of the player without being spiked by the capacity of training the player has. I'll have the GM train OD first, then his IS to both reach at least 7-10 by season's end if possible. By season's end, it's possible that the player may reach 60-70 TSP, depending on the training the player has.
Age 19: Passing, handling, and JR to reach at least 5-7 until season's end for passing and JR, but for handling should be at least 7-10. Passing and outside shooting training for this season
Age 20: OD, ID, and JS (OD = 12-14), (ID = 9-12), JS (12-14) at season's end. One on one training, ID training and OD training for this season.
Age 21: During these times, the player should have:
JS(12-14) JR(5-7)
OD(12-14) Handling(7-10)
DR(9-12) Passing(5-7)
IS(7-10) ID(9-12)
Reb(7-9) SB(7-8)
Sta (5-7) FT (7)
TSP: 80-103(If this is possible, and 103's really far-fetched), but I think 80-90 is enough for U21
Age 22-23: I will continue the defense training until OD gets 16-18(Better if max, and if not yet capped, the better) and ID 13-15(Better if 16 and above, and if not yet capped, the better), same time the Reb should be at least 10 now
Age 24 and beyond is where the offense goes in and the GM has the freedom in the world to train JS, JR, and IS. Driving and handling should be affected, too. I don't think passing is really a need, handling's more important than passing for me. It is possible for this player to reach 120-130 TSP with proper training and great strategy in building the player.
