Hi Guys,

Just a thought and need your opinion about this:


I've been trying to rotate player to different position so that they could be trained and improve other skills.

Say I have my point guard earn minutes at center to have him trained with center traits ... etc.
and PF/C also to have minutes at PG/SG as well as to improve some of their OS,JR,JS...etc

I know that this could have a slow but ( I think ) balance way of developing my players.

But Is this a wise decision?

your advvicce is gladly welcome. Thanks.

my opinion is that this is not a good idea . it is better and easy to train for example 6 players in C/PF and sell 2-4 of them and buy players in missing positions .

Yeah i agree unless your developing a SF its too slow. A PG who is short will be very slow training in rebound for example because of their height. Training a PG in ID is ineffective because he will be defending mostly outside shooting.

Two of my bigs (and my SF) are getting some guard training this season because I am training them to be PF so they need some handles, a bit of outside D and a good jump shot. I am doing it now because in div IV I can afford to play them at PG for one position training, but when I get promoted it will cost me games to play guys that far out of position. It's part of a longer training plan to try to produce a couple of really good PFs and a decent small forward, and next season there will be more bigs brought in to concentrate on rebounding.

I wouldn't try to "round out" a guard by giving them skills that aren't going to benefit them. Think of it this way: Even if an extra level of rebounding is a bit useful for a SG it is still less useful than:
a) an extra level of jump shot (or driving, or whatever) on that guard
b) an extra level of rebounding on a big man

Thanks guys. that certainly help.

BTW, I got this player and he is listed as PG but I play him at PF because of his height. Hes got some good quality of a guard except for his OD. He also have some inside game but still needs additional training

Im looking to develop him as my PF/C. let mw know what you think.

Height does not affect directly how well players perform at a certain position. It affects the training speed of most skills.


if i understand him right he is training him, so the move isn't bad ;) I bought small center in the past too, to train then outside.
