Good evening basketball dudes. I got myself into a little jam. I have 3 Young trainees, a point guard (age 19), a Big shooting guard @ 6-10 age 19, a PF/C (age 23 w/ MVP potent) and maybe a 6-7 small forward. The rest of my team consists of 4 guys over 30, 2 guys at 26 and 27 also with MVP potential that I still like to train at certain things. Is it wise to have this many trainees? I see on here many of you only have 1 or 2 players at the most. I feel like its a waste now b/c I want to do a ton of stamina so my team is in good defensive form by the playoffs.

I would do single position training for 3 players. However i wouldn't train Jara because 4k wage on a 23 year old doesn't cut it. His MVP potential is irrelevant because he can never reach his potential, Same thing with the 26 and 27 year old, their skills are more developed but at that age i would only let them get training when you want your 3 main guys to get 2 position training. As for the 19 year olds would need to know their skills to see if they were good trainees. At that wage Tirado doesn't look great. Looks like you will need to find a trainee or 2 on the transfer market

Train those young players first. Forget everything else! Think about it, some seasons down the road they're either gonna be the one you're building your team around with -- in the way that's best for your team -- or players you can profit from (selling). Side by side with a training program, you slowly upgrade your arena. Few seasons later, you will (whether you like it or not), not only promote (if you haven't) a tier but be competitive enough for USA DIV.

THX!!!! A ton for the advice. NOW i have a more confusing situation on my hands when one fella tells me that they're really not worth training b/c of they're salary. This McCledon guy for me just cant seem to get into any kind of basketball zone..cant shoot, cant play d...he is a 6-10 guard and was originally gonna train him for a PF or C position and got nothing all last season.

If you consider a base trainee has 4k wage then 23 isn't considered young for training purposes. If the 23 year old has 20k+ salary then they may be worth training. Also be careful not to overvalue potential. A 19 year old 4k star is a lot better trainee then a 23 year old 4k MVP.
