Dear All,
I'd like to ask for your help in connection with my best trainee, a hopefully soon-to-be U21 big-man.

He's 18, 6'10, MVP potential.

Jump Shot: inept Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: inept Handling: mediocre
Driving: respectable Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: strong Inside Def.: strong ↑
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: strong ↑
Stamina: atrocious Free Throw: awful

Experience: atrocious TSP: 58 (26 + 32)

Any ideas about how should i train him?

Coach is lvl5.

Thanks in advance!

I'd rather have JR on a big man. All the top big men are in the PF formula and in the PF formula JR has one of the lowest cap weights while JS is very high (and this will matter for a MVP potential). Also JR used to be salary free while JS wasn't. So I'd definitely prefer 10/8 to 15/3, for salary and cap reasons

I'd decide which skill to punt (keep low) among IS/ID/RB/SB sooner rather than later.

If you increase all the inside skills to medium-high levels the salary of the player will explode.

Thank you all for your insight!

I asked both the U21 (who i'm in weekly contact with (lol)) and the NT managers.

The original of mine was nothing special. His 1st training was a 1-on-1 (forwards), he popped in both OD and DR, then he got multiple IS, REB and ID trainings. I tried not to get a high SB rating.

However, i "have a crush on PFs", so i'd be willing to train him more outside skills. The low shooting skills bother me (especially the JR).

I'll be back when i have more info from the managers.

BTW Am I right, if I say, that JR can be also used to increase amount of shots (especially 3-pointers, which will harm non-OD inside players?)

Zolinho - I wouldn't be so hard on SB. Although it's probably the weakest from inside skills, it may be useful in some situations, such as defending shots of your player's matchup. Consider pros and cons of all skills before making a decision.

I know that it isn't useless, but if i know it right, it's a very expensive skill. I'd much rather have the others higher.

How high would be ideal? How would you distribute big man skills for an all-around center for U21, and for NT?

it's a very expensive skill.








4 possible combinations of choosing a non-trained inside skills. Skills are in Polish, but you can clearly see, which 2 skills are most efficient, and which one is actually the "expensive" one. I would personally get rid of RB, but I have to admit, that I just hate that skill. Probably the best choice is the one between 1st and 2nd build.
