nah, he's shite, I'll take him off ya hands for a few k :)

If you have the patience I'd been making him a small forward, train big skills, the small skills. And make sure you read all about the elastic effect for training.

Jackpot! Lucky duck.

1. Id strongly advise a level 5 or 6 trainer. This guy is worth it.
2. Id strongly advise a youth trainer. The results i got testing last season showed it was worth it.
3. Agree that SF is a great option, but you need to be in for the long term. You could also train him to be a PF, SG, even a PG if thats your need.
4. Where to start... if you want a PF id start inside- train inside shot and inside D right away. If its a guard, one to one fwds. If its a SF, you can start inside skills or one to one. Personally id get him going inside early- inside shot up to 10, then inside D up to 10. From there you can go to OD and js. The main 4 primaries for a SF are IS, ID, JS and OD. But passing, rebounding and JR can all be very useful and not neglected.

Ill keep in touch.

Personally I'd start with ID, as you get good IS training from 1on1 forwards.

Oh, thanks for reminding me that youth trainers exist. Shows how much I've been on auto-pilot these last few seasons, it totally slipped my mind.

ID would also be a good spot to start. I would rather train js fwds over one to one for a SF, simply because you get much better js and IS. And particularly by u21 standards, something has to give with skills. Id sacrifice dr/ha so they dont skimp on jr, pa and reb. But thats my opinion only.

I prefer to get DR/HA up as it helps later with elastic effect for OD, and JS is easy to train last. Also help keep their salary down longer.

But you are certainly right that it makes them less useful in the short term :)
