That seems like about average. I have two 18 year old American SF/PF's too and they have received 13 and 14 pops but I have also been training a ton of 1v1 this season so that's also expected. BTW nice player! A 5k starting salary for an SF is sweet. What do his skills look like?

If you train your 18 year old rookie in one position training for a whole season, how many pops would be considered good? How many pops should you expect?

I've trained my guy for 12 weeks straight now and he's got 10 pops so far. Just wondering if that's average/below/above. I suspect he'll pop one or two more times before season 24 is upon us.


14 weeks = 14 pops is pretty good. Depending on what you train and coach level, anywhere between 10 and 16 pops a season is good for 18 yo.

My 19 yo trainee has 26 pops in 24 weeks i.e.

It all depends on what you are training.

OD on a tall player trains very slow.

One on One trains very fast no matter the height.

It depends on what you want. Do you want a player that can be a starter quickly? So you train him on either guard or big skills exclusively. Do you want a player that will stay low salary and be efficient even though it may take years to be a starter? You train him in a balanced method.

Overall pops will happen. I don't think it matters too much the number you get. Just look at the player you are striving for in the long-run.

Unless he is super high potential. Then you may just want to maximize pops. But if he's middling potential its more important to look at what he can do for your team.
