Say hi to

Ricky Lankford (30255091)

Weekly salary: $ 4 649

Age: 20
Height: 6'8" / 203 cm

Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: pitiful
Outside Def.: strong Handling: mediocre ↑
Driving: mediocre ↑ Passing: inept
Inside Shot: respectable ↑ Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: pitiful

I drafted him when he was 19 and projected him as an all-around small forward. Should I continue training him as such or switch into a power forward?

*edit: And how to train him to become effective at such position?

He's a little on the short side to be a PF, so I think he should be a SF. Do you want a scoring beast or lockdown defender type of player?

I would make him a lock down defender due to his potential. It will be more cost effective.

I am inclined in making him a scoring beast. But his JR is a concern, any tips to train him without losing his effectivity in games?

Not only that it is cost effective but also an easier route. I am yet to try training SB, how far should I train it compared to OD and ID?

Learn how to properly train first. I checked the minutes of both players, I'm not sure what are you doing?

Thanks for that concern, but I think I already got the hang of it last week, and sure Dax got the short-hand of the training last week, but as I am doing it so for the majority of the team, I am happy with the 7 pops I achieved for 3 players.

*edit: 4 players.

No no, they need 48 min for the training to be effective. With 30 and something minutes, he probably got about 30% of the training only..

It's best to have 3 trainees and each one gets 48 min at the training position. Except when you're training two-position, one v one and rebounding.

You'll also realize soon, that minutes get messed up often, so it's best to have two main trainees, plus less important third one.
