Advice on training? I guess he'll get 1 Pos OD and PS for this season, then, blah?

I guess I would go with JS and 1v1 mostly next season then. Maybe 2 seasons of guard training, then 1 season of IS/ID/RB, probably get him on the U21. Do you want to make him an SF or keep him an SG?

All about SF for me. He'll get his Guard training first, good that it's the HD and DR that are low so shouldnt be too much on an issue. I guess I'll be switching to inside in a couple of seasons.

I know these guys aren't good enough for U21 but I would still like advice in training them from USA players. I have one guy giving advice from another country but what is your opinion. I only have a Advanced trainer but I want to make these American prospects decent if possible.

Got him for 29K

Any help is appreciated.

I imagine the managers of Lundy and Ugona might not be able to afford their salaries next season, if so I would like for them to pass on from Div II to the NBBA.

I don't appreciate your rumor-mongering Lundy isn't going anywhere except to the NBBA in a Knicktardeder Jersey.

Haha Ugona's manager told me the same thing, guess I don't need to worry about those two.

RC you need 18yr olds if you want to have a shot at U21, and high potential ones if you want NT, but if you are just looking for training advice for those guys then I would just focus on training the 6 guard skills (JS, JR, OD, HA, DR, PA).
