Thanks heaps.

I got another 18 year old guard that has respectable OD already. I will focus on OD until I get to Proficient with all my trainee guards.

What skills should I focus on other than OD?

Depends on your trainees skills.

You'll want a bit of passing on each your trainees as they'll be playing PG most of the time for training purposes. Higher passing = Higher offensive flow and less turnovers.

Good handling is also important for less turnovers, and if you want them to score you better train jumpshot, and if you want them to hit threes, then train jump range. Takes a while but you train those aspects and you eventually get a great player. Good luck!

Hey Swendle sorry to rain on your parade but there was a reason you got that guy for $1 you have missed. Average OD is fine, I just paid $400,000 for a guy with average OD. But he is brutally reduced in value by his awful JS. You could get a guy for about $10,000 with respectable JS. It will take you about 8-10 weeks of training to get there. But that isn't the killer. The slowest skill to train up in the entire game is JR and he has atrocious! To get that to respectable will take somewhere up to 18 weeks. Add them together and you will then have spent two seasons of training to get him to the standard of a guy you could pick up right now for minimal cost. He will be 20 and the standard of an 18 year old and ill never reach his superstar potential so he may as well be a starter or a hall of famer, it wont matter for him unless you keep training him until he is 25.

Sorry, but instead invest a little more get a great Aussie trainee for $100,000 and you will be much better in the long run. I am not allowed to name players on the forums but I think you would be better off with soeone else.

Thanks yodabig for the advice.

Just waiting for tomorrows game to get some funds ready to draft a better training prospect.

What time on a Friday does the pops from training occur?

Should be about now.

Okay could i get some advice about getting a pg then?

What should be the minimum stats for OD, JS & JR?

Also is passing and handling important to begin with? I see that you can train them up quite quickly.

My ideal PG trainee would be a 6'0" 18 year old superstar with respectable JS, JR, OD and PA. Now he would cost a lot but the closer you can get to that the better.
