Anyone end up with any decent trainees? My players are uniformly crap, so I'm trying to decide what my Utopia strategy is going to be.

and

Weekly salary: $ 2 830
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 9500
Age: 18
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: atrocious Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: inept Handling: respectable
Driving: respectable Passing: average
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: pitiful

Experience: atrocious

I think I'm going to train them up, starting with a couple of seasons of OD/PA/1v1. I haven't decided what to do about a third trainee. I'll probably look to buy a guy on the cheap, since I plan to invest heavily in my arena right away.

How is your Utopia strategy affected by your USA team draft?

Not at all. I can't remember the last time I got a really good player in the draft. I think it my have been one of the 30 year old guys on my team now.

My team is crap but I'm debating trying a purely homegrown team.

Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. I actually got a random draft pick (no scouting at all) with the 11th pick last season who was pretty decent. Allstar pot and 4 respectables and two mediocres. Sold him a couple days ago after some intermittent training last season.

For some reason I thought your statements of a poor draft and of your strategy in Utopia were related. I was just wondering if there is some actual connection between both teams. Haven't read all about Utopia, as I am just going with my original team.
