What else will it take to make an American U21 player?It takes a combination of things to make the U21 roster. We don't just take the top salaried 21 yr olds. Your player needs to be
consistently in good game shape. We look at secondary skills. We look at the needs of the team. The best way to know where your player stands and how you can steer your player in the right direction, follow the discussion on the offsite forum:

How should I train?Single position training is crucial if you want to win this contest. Here is a taste of Coco's
(23075) single position training guide:
I think if you manage to give training to three players every week 1-position training is not only better for the single player, but also comparably good for your entire team.
Ok: how do we make three players play 48 minutes at PG?
So we have P1, P2 and P3.
Game 1make sure that:
1) P1 is set as Starter, Backup and Reserve at PG.
2) you play Strictly Follow Depth Chart
3) you are dressing only 9 players.
4) every other non-starting player is in the depth chart as a sub for some position other than PG
5) do not play Full Court Press
6) If the game does not matter too much to you, avoid fast offenses (R&G, LI, PtB): they are, in my view the most effective, but they decrease the chance of your players' getting 48 minutes (lots of possessions = more fouls = more chance your player will foul out).
Game 2Same as above with P2 in place of P1.
In addition, make sure that between first game and second game, P3 gets a few minutes (say 15-20) as a Shooting Guard.
The reason this is important is that if P3 fouls out in the third game you can still use his minutes as a SG and switch to *two* position training.
Game 3This is your scrimmage.
Follow the same instructions of first game.
In this game however play Patient or Princeton.
Set "let them play" in the fouls setting.
