Actually KYW and Jackson's build actually follows the trend of top NTs in the world. You need a minimum of 12 OD for Cs to minimize the impact of reverse patient, and they also won't get torched by their opposing Cs, which have the JS/JR of prime Seet De Han. You also need a minimum of 12 passing to limit turnovers, and to reduce the passing load of your PG (because as you know, passing takes up a lot of cap space on PGs but it is essentially free on Cs). That said, you're right that Jackson needs higher IS, but that didn't happen because he was already 28 by the time he was close to the cap, so his training speed is terrible. With a more efficient training plan (and maybe the use of youth trainers, because I didn't use one) he could have better skills. Which is why I mentioned the single player focus in the last post. I've also been checking out different training plans of other NTs and talking to various trainers and NT managers. From those discussions,I managed to gather these info:
JS: 18-20 on all positions if you want more versatility.
OD: minimum 12 on bigs, 20 on SF/SG/PG. Top NTs usually train past 20.
Passing: 12 on bigs, 13-15 on wings, PG can have around 15-16.
IS: 17-18 on bigs. For guards you need 20. Ironically but that is the trend, partly because IS is free on guards.
ID: Minimum 12 on guards to counter LI tactics. 17-18 for bigs. But this can actually be offset by SB. Recently BB revealed that SB is the factor for fouls, increasing ID will not help you decrease shooting fouls (source:
(314816.1)). So right now the trend seems to be higher SB and lower ID. Something similar to Guang except that maybe 2 levels of SB higher. So SB might be an area you would want to explore n future players if you want to reduce shooting fouls.
With all these skills, your HOF would need to be trained beyond the cap (maybe only ATG can achieve it). But that's the way the top teams do it.
That said, I understand the struggle with your team. I know it's impossible to train NT players and compete at the same time, so if possible, I'd like you to just focus on winning SBBL and the B3 instead of training players. At least you can bring glory to us at B3 stage, while the young talents can be given to managers who want to focus solely on training. If you notice a MVP and above potential player who's team went botand is a free agent on the market, let me know, I will buy him then resell him off for $1000 so he will get a good trainer. This way it will not burden you so much financially.
