He's a decent prospect but remember, you want to have players that you can train the same skills together. That's very important. So sometimes having a 6 foot guard prospect and a 7 foot Center prospect isn't ideal (although it might be in this case, at least in the short run).

Still that's a good purchase, you can probably pump up his guard skills for a season or two and then sell him on the market for a huge profit just around the time you start training big man skills with your other guys.

Okay :)

But if I'll take them as my future guard, isn't he good? I mean a 15/20k guard could be interesting?

If you want to train your 2 bigs properly, you'll never be able to train that guard up too $15K. Or vice versa.

Don't make the mistake that many new users make and load your roster full of players, both bigs and guards, that are all still young and in their training years. You want to either train 2-3 young bigs or 2-3 young guards and buy vets everywhere else to fill out your roster. You simply can't train an entire roster and you can't train both bigs and guards effectively. It's neither cost efficient nor a very smart strategy.

Plus as you promote, you'll need to upgrade your players anyways. So suddenly a guard worth $5-10K isn't somebody that you'll still want.

All that said, you're off to a good start.

Primary skills for guards are JS, JR, OD, HA, DR and PA. As for your trainees, I would train the first guy until his OD/HA/DR/PA are all at least 8.

Okay, I will do like this. And then? Should I begin with primary big guy skills?

Yes, I would begin to start training his inside skills.

Sorry but I disagree, I think it's always best to train the weaker/guard skills first.

It keeps the players salary down in the short/mid term and is the best way to build a well rounded player. Plus it's far easier to train these skills while in a lower division. The more your promote, the harder it gets to train the off skills.

On top of all that, he just added a 6 foot guard to the mix that requires training. Train all 3 of these guys on guard skills now and then when it's time to start training their primaries, that would be a good time to sell the guard for a profit.

When I said that he should do primaries, it was after I told him what level to aim for when training guard skills: (241553.12). After he said OK (241553.13), he asked if he should train inside skills when finished with secondaries.

You're right. Sorry about that. Good plan Big Dog. ;)

I don't think anyone highlighted this to you but you probably want to get a better trainer if you seriously want to train:) Personally, I would suggest a lvl 6, since your trainees starting skills ain't that high and the season is coming to an end. But, having said that, since you're new, I don't think investing in a level 6 trainer is a wise move, so I'd say go with 4:)
