Hi all,

I have only one rookie this year but he should become my starting SF or rather PF in a while:


Age: 18
Height: 6'10" / 208 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: respectable ↑ Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: pitiful
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: pitiful Free Throw: mediocre

He's receiving Guard Training this and possibly next season. So far he's had 3 ups in Jump Shot (5, 2 weeks ago and this week).

Which kind of training do you think would help him the most? I'm thinking about getting his JS up to 9 or 10, that should also bring his JR up to 6. Besides that, 1 or 2 levels of OD might be nice. But that depends on how much his height actually slows down that training...
If I keep training guards next saison, he'll get some more ups in JS. If I switch to PF/C training, I'll rotate between the four big men skills.

But now I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts!!

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

Nice player that i can see him more as PF than SF, especially if you train 2 positions. (Training OD on a such tall player is really painful slow) He needs some serious improvement on his HA too.

Handling is his only real weakness, that's true.
But is it important enough on PF to train it with such a tall guy? I'm not yet sure if I'll train it. I'd definitely sacrifice 2-4 weeks if I train guards next season but that would only give 1 up or maybe 2 if I'm very lucky...

Currently he's averaging 1 Turnover in 19.2 minutes. But the biggest part of that time he's been playing as PG or SG, so playing him as PF or C should generally result in less turnovers, right?
That again leads to the question if I'd be better off getting 2-3 ups in a main skill or working on 1 -2 ups in a secondary skill...

I'd appreciate some more opinions regarding this.

Try training one on one for forwards.That should help you with both HA and JS..And of course,driving,although it doesn't seem to be too important.

I want what all men want...I just want it more.

But even if I train 1on1 for Forwards, the Handling part will still be slow due to his height, won't it?

Of course,but you'll be training three things at a time..That is if you are not willing to train him out of position and only one position.

At the moment I have 5 PG/SG trainees plus him so I do want to play him out of position at the moment. I.e. until my guards are more or less finished. At that point I'll switch to PF/C or C training.

I'm just not sure yet if that'll be in Season 12 or 13.

Thanks for your thoughts on this, 007 :-)

His average rating is 7.0. Btw, this was my first draft in the game. I love basketball and I'm hooked to this game, love it. :)
So since my team is pretty bad, still, I think I picked myself a pretty decent rookie. ;)

Inside Shot: average ↑ Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: strong Shot Blocking: average

He will be a pretty solid centerwhen all is said and done. I believe in great balance in all positions so am obviously pleased with his starting skills. Please let me know your thoughts.

Not bad that that atrocious on his JS is really a set back for him because he has almost everything he needs to be a really good PF during the road. My advice is to try to train him 1-2 weeks per season on JS. Even with 5 you will see great effect on his performance.
