Hey guys,
I got a pretty good prospect (5ball and 4ball) in my draft. I was wondering if it is worth it for me to train him. I am in D5, and have a decent trainer (level 4). If it is worth it, what skills should I focus on and what should be my training pattern?

I trained PGs last season as well, so that helps a bit. Here are his skills and credentials.
Weekly salary: $ 5 041
Role: draws a paycheck

Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: mediocre

Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: atrocious

Experience: atrocious

Oops, did I shoot early again?

Not a bad trainee at all. Obviously it depends on what kind of player you want him to be, as there are lots of different great players who can help you win for different reasons. The one thing I'd suggest though is that you concentrate on the skills that are lower, as they will train faster due to the elastic effect.

So start out with 1 on 1, which is probably the most helpful training anyway because it quickly trains driving, handling and also puts a decent amount into JS. A lot of people will tell you to train OD because it's probably the most important stat for a guard and it trains the slowest (so it's better to do it while the player is young) and I'd agree with that, just not right away.

Yes, I totally agree with dunkface.

One on one is a two-position-training, just like jump shooting. To be as efficient as possible you should stick with these two trainings for one or two seasons and get some more trainees to fill the trained spots.

Of course you can also do it the other way around and train OD, PA, JR at one-position-training, but try to avoid switching between one-position and two-position-training.

And yes, I think he is totally worth it. Great primary skills and solid potential.

Thanks everyone. I am going to keep him as long as I can afford his salary. Also I am going to stick with one position training this season, and maybe some of next and then move to two position training afterwards. Hopefully this guy pans out and can make my current starting pg a backup sometime soon.

Is Vaiz your PG? According to their salary your rookie could replace him during the season.

Also, you're in D.V, so don't bother with such things. You could get rid of Vaiz and use the PG spot for at least one more trainee. Perfect would be 3 trainees overall of course and let each one of them play one full game a week.
