Potential: superstar


Jump Shot: average Jump Range: average

Thank you for any feedback!

If he is the only guy you are training, you have no choice but to make him your number one trainee :) If you have the patience needed to train a quality SF, and don't mind training him out of position, then I think you can do it.

First of all, I would train his OD/ID to proficient, so that his defense isn't a liability. Next I would train PA and 1v1 Guards to raise his HA/DR and PA to at least average. Training 1v1 Guards will help his HA and DR improve, while partially training JS. PA trains fast on everyone, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Since he is short and his IS is only pitiful, I recommend turning him into an outside SF. Good luck training him.

IS up till 10. Than ID en RB up to 10,12.

After all the inside is done, than I would start with the outside. The older he is the slower inside training will go.So you want to do that at the start.

Only in the dark, we succeed!

Speaking as someone whom trains SFs only and has for 3+ seasons...

for an SF, he will need passing 6+ Higher ID, higher OD, and MUCH better IS... plus better HN and DR

I would train his ID up to 9 since he is so short, then work 1v1 forwards and Inside scoring, on alternate weeks, until his IS is 8. Then I would get the OD to 9 then work on the jump shot.

This is my 19 year old SF:
Jump Shot: strong Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: strong Handling: inept
Driving: inept Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: proficient Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: inept Free Throw: pitiful

I'd recommend both of you train some one on one forwards and get their HA and DR up. It will help with OD training, which in my opinion is more important than ID. Both of your SF will become TO machines against players with 10+ OD. I agree that some passing is needed. I feel like a strong passing team is key to being a multi-dementional offense.

Here is the thing. My trainee's Inside Shot is so low, I may not even train it to that high, because it would be such waste of time. I am going to use him as my SG on offence, and as SF on Defence. I will find someone that is better on offence at the SF position, who can shoot from outside AND inside.

So for my trainee, all I need to do is get ID and OD up, Driving + HDL + Passing up, and also JS and JR up. That's my goal. What do you guys think?

I'd just make this current guy your SG, because if he's defending as SF, he'll give up a lot of rebounds. Might as well just train this guy's outside skills at the same time you train a new future SF. Then when your current guy is a good enough SG, switch to inside skills for your SF trainee. At that time, buy a guy who can become a PF or otherwise benefit from the inside training.

I would always train my SF trainee with OD. Get it to 10 at first. An ID pop might fall off in the process too. Then ID to 10 then afterwards.

My trainee just came off the U21 NT in Denmark, he's a triple double machine, and a complete beast on defense. OD is so important in this game.

His rebounding will be OK at the level he is at now, no matter what I would go with some One-on-One forwards. He will get much needed pops in driving and handling (about one every two weeks) as well as jump shot and inside scoring (about one every five weeks with a IS popping a little quicker than jump shot).

I would do One-on-One forwards for 5-8 weeks and then focus on getting that outside defense up to a 9 or 10 after that. From there he could go with more inside skills and make a SF or focus on outside skills and develop a SG.
