Keep JR always as high as JS. And these two skills should be influenced from the OD of you opponents. So if your league has OD 8 players, you PF should be around JS 8-JR 8 or a little bit higher.

Unless you are training an outside big, I would not worry about training JR at all. The data suggests that JS is the main skill used for all JS and JR really only becomes a factor for 3 point shots. JR trains very very slow on big men so if you want JR on a big man, I would make sure that you get a guy with alot of JR.

I agree with Phyr, unless you are planning to run a lot heavy Outside attack (Patient/R&G/Princeton) the advantages don't outweigh the costs as JR mainly effects 3 point shots. Long 2s in any offense (outside of Patient really) tend to be forced ones at so you'd rather hae high HND/DR for your big to create good inside shots and force fouls.

That being said, if you have a young player with 6 or 7 JR, training to 10-12 isn't too much trouble and it can be helpful for those few games were you can exploit poor OD bigs.

The OD's on those 4 PF are 11,10,10 & 9
Div I and really any league should have as much multi skill at every position as possible

+1 headless t gunner.

jr on bigmen is very nice to have and gives you the advantage of beeing less predictable.
if you have a trainee invest a few weeks in jr training. jr 9 is already very nice to have and good enough for most of the competition. furthermore I agree with nachtmahr on the JS/JR balance.

I'm really starting to rething the JR 12+ power foward plan I came up with.

Why? Because 99% of users against it? Be brave and risk something ;) I play RnG with an allround scoring PF and he's shooting 56% 3pts currently. You just have to surround him with the right players and your JR 12 PF will be a monster.

I'm afraid between JR/OD and the time it takes to train
you can't have an abundance of both

You of course have to train all the other skills too!

I have a 5th PF, his OD is 14 (ID is 15)
but his JR is only 6

Can't have everything on 1 guy but you can spread it out
Or of course you will run out of money
besides this is my first run at B3, thought I'd make a go of it
