If you decide to make him a guard, I'd probably try to train only 1-position OD and PAS right through his age 18 and 19 seasons. I imagine you could get 15 OD/10 PAS at the end of his age-19 season. That'd give you the option to be more versatile with your training beyond that point, while already having a valuable role-player.

The SF route is attractive though, too. I don't think his height matters very much. My 6'5" PF popped inside skills extremely quickly.

BTW, your club team should have more than 6 players. Pick up 2-3 more players (even 1k scrubs if that's all you can manage right now). You'll greatly benefit by having better gameshape.

OD and PS to 16?

Personally if I'm trying to get him on the U21 team I'm looking to keep him balanced in the guard skills rather than pumping up a couple of them sky high at the expense of the others. Especially those 2 skills specific skills which are very expensive to carry in salary and considering that his potential is only P-AS.

I'd concentrate on OD right now and mix in some 1 on 1, jump shot and jump range. Keeping OD higher than the rest of the skills is probably a good idea but I wouldn't train it to 16.

I was just going along the general lines of a pg who made u21 at the age of 20 a couple of seasons ago. Albeit the crop of players weren't the best. The guys name was m scott. Think he had like high amounts of od and pa. Although his js was only about 11 as a result. It's a trade-off and depends on if you have the other players on the team to pass to to score

Jump Shot: sensational Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: stupendous Handling: wondrous
Driving: tremendous Passing: wondrous
Inside Shot: proficient Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: strong

Just curious what peoples thoughts are about this guard? Is it worth training rebounding and shot blocking?

What would you do if this player was yours and still trainable?

Height?
Pretty unlucky not to get a secondary or xtraining pop for shot blocking.
Rebounding is a lost cause, but I wouldn't keep SB at 1.
Either train it to 2 or keep training ID until SB pops with it.
Then it depends what offense you want to run eh?

He is 6'3 or so...

I agree the SB is a bit of a drag but I am not sure it is worth fixing.

Thanks for the response.

Wouldn't train SB. It's amazing for ratings at PF/C but not at guard and guards don't block shots. Rebounding, probably only if it fits into other player's training. The margins seem okay and REB is damn good overall.

I'd like to see that Kozlik dude's training template if he makes one. But I'd say IS for sure. JS/OD/HND/DRV probably. I think JR too but no idea.

If he's a guard, perhaps some more ID will help against any inside focused guard. Also hopefully get a SB pop while at it.

Curious is someone can assist me in determining if this player is capped? I am at work so cannot use the programs that I would normally use.


Weekly salary: $ 74 607
Role: rotation player
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 523200
Age: 26
Height: 6'7" / 201 cm
Potential: superstar

Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: prodigious Handling: prodigious
Driving: phenomenal Passing: tremendous
Inside Shot: tremendous Inside Def.: sensational
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: strong
Stamina: average Free Throw: strong

Experience: mediocre

If he was your player what would you do? Is it worth trying to get a couple more pops?

95-100% based off old salary formula which would have him at 77.2k salary. His actual salary is 74.6k. A little secret (according to a friend who pm'ed a BB-staff) is that if the salary coefficient things decrease (as they did, and always seem to), previously capped players can re-pop and grow into their potential again. If he was still popping last season, he definitely has extended room to grow.

I have 2 old guys probably 93-100% an 94-100% capped (too lazy to check) and they're still popping. We're both lucky, because potential sub-levels are apparent a thing. A lot of guys cap wayyyy before 95%.

Edit: btw I think you should only train big man stuff. Maybe not even REB. His PG salary is almost capped but SF salary is under 50k.
