Thanks. My fastest trainee and best player has a potential of 4. Hoping I can ride him into D3 then recycle him to another newbie.

Nice advice! I'm sure a lot of newer managers appreciate this! Just to put this into perspective a little bit, since I have a player like this right now:

I bought this guy for 1,000 (the minimum you can buy a player for on the TL)

Weekly salary: $ 2 869
Role: regular starter
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 20500
Age: 18
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: strong
Jump Shot: average Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: inept Handling: mediocre ↑
Driving: respectable Passing: average
Inside Shot: strong Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: average Free Throw: strong

Experience: atrocious

I have been training 1v1 a lot this season and this guy has been placed into my third training slot, and will hopefully be a nice reserve/cup game guy for me next season! Star potential is plenty for a third training slot player, especially if you get him for cheap!

Cool tag-along trainee :)

My main trainee is already close to capping allstar potential

9/10
12/12
12/8
11/10
9/9

Currrently 102 skills, I'm hoping to push him to 107 skills before he caps. Maybe even 110, but unlikely..

He was a mediocre draftee in my first season, probably not sellable at all. I used a level 3 coach all along and never bothered about missed minutes and injuries.

If I manage to push him to

10/11
12/12
13/10
12/9
12/10
9/9

i think he will be a nice backup, even for the top league, hoping for 13-14 ratings in games, for about 8-12 minutes. And all that for petty salary.

I'm not sure how players train after capping, if it's possible to pump few additional skills into them. I would pop JS+JR then REB(since another trainee needs a full REB season).

Anyway if one takes a player with better starting skills, his training would be finished even much sooner.
