It is hard to give specific training advice when:

1. You haven't said what you want to turn these guys into; and
2. You have 3 very different trainees with very different needs.


However, if I just look at this 2nd trainee, I would consider the following:

You could continue to absolutely hammer the 1v1 (Guards) and get the Handling, Driving and Jump Shot high, before switching to Outside Defense (OD). The elastic effect will train that OD fast at that point. That's assuming you are considering this trainee as a guard/small forward.

This would also be excellent training for your 3rd trainee who is most definitely a guard. 1v1 then OD would be great for him while he is still young. This with his potential will give him a great start.

Again, what your end plans with your player are is important.


My advice, after looking at all 3 trainees, their current TSPs and their potentials would be this:

1. Get onto Buzzer Manager
2. Play around with the 'Salary Calculator' to predict future builds that you like.
3. Reverse-engineer them and train them accordingly.
4. Consider selling the 6'8" big or be prepared to lose training at the expense of the other two


These are just my opinions. Would be interested to hear others' views.

My goal would be to get to first league and keep 2 out of 3 until then, prob sell one. Possibly get the legends to National team and/or U21. No idea yet about how I actually want to develop them as players. Also, Im training 1v1 forwards, not guards, sorry.

Edit: generally, my idea would be to train them as SF/SG, maybe selling the 6'1 one.
Edit: the first 2 trainees seem to be like they have very similar skills at the moment, beside, of course, the 4 inches difference.

1. 1v1 Forwards makes more sense. Good.
2. Selling off the guard also makes sense.
3. Those 4 inches of difference will matter when you are training big skills (for the 6'4" guy) and when you are training guard skills (for the 6'8" guy). So, the heights will definitely slow you down somewhat.
4. The bigger issue if you are serious about making them SF/PFs who are actually competitive in the higher divisions, is the ID (atrocious) on your 6'8" (and 'mediocre'?) and 6'4" prospect. This will need to be addressed and the sooner the better given age does factor into training too.

Well, it seems you have somewhat of a plan. Other than what I have already suggested, good luck.

Hey, hope you can help me again.

this is how they look now, i still train 1v1 forwards. i also have max level training court and gym, max level youth trainer and 6 oiut of 7 coach. still i dont really have a plan beside most likely selling the shorter, mvp one. what would you do as far as long term plan and what to train next? thank you
