Agree with Coco, pure defender would have a spot on the team. Yea I'd take someone with 20 ID/20 RB, as a matter of fact we have a prospect working towards that goal. 20 ID - 20 RB - 20 SB would I think have a humongous salary even if the IS was low. You can double check that at josef-ka's salary calculator: (http://www.how8.com/)

To add on to what Coco said about the pass first PG, passing starts getting very very expensive at a certain point and those players are usually only usable in a LI. I look at a guy like Esteban Moscote (Colombia NT) (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/6920462/overview.aspx) and I gather from his statistics that he probably is a "pass first" PG with high OD and relatively low JS/JR. While someone like that would be a great option for us on our roster, it would not be cost effective for an American manager, and if you have that high salary of a player it would be frustrating being unable to use him in an outside offense.

Specialists are always welcome, and we have several guard and big prospects that are working towards becoming specialists. The guide above was intended to be a very basic outline of what we look for.

Someone needs to sticky this post on the help forum...could go a long way

Xarn is still around (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/23885/overview.aspx). I had an epic battle for first place with him in Season 9 that ended with us both 20-2. I won HCA by PD by only 2 pts. (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/39/overview.aspx?Seaso...)

I don't think I want this put in the help forum, just want American managers who are curious to read it.

U21 is a weird animal as far as skills go. What is listed is loosely what is looking for, but exceptional "primary skills" will get a guy on the team even if his passing/driving is not quite up to snuff. The gameshape section is by far the most important to me. If your player is not in good GS, they will not help the team and I will not call them up. Period.

any chance in future for your NT :


Jump Shot: stupendous Jump Range: prolific
Outside Def.: prodigious ↑ Handling: prodigious
Driving: stupendous Passing: tremendous
Inside Shot: atrocious Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: average ↓ Free Throw: inept

Experience: inept


?

If you continue training him, he has some chance. You should send a message directly to jfarb or namssor if you want to know what you would need to do to get him onto the NT.
