yarrrrrr i know, i wasnt really disagreeing with you at all was i!? LOL. next time ill really disagree. promise :)

So yes, the training that he does needs to fit into his team and team structure, and yer, if his other trainee's are forwards then training inside skills might be the best option if he wants to keep them...... Otherwise the other option for BBB could be to sell his other trainee's, make this guy the pure 100% training focus for him and all other players that get training is just bonus. this would give him more flexibility with this particular trainee. whether he wants this or not is up to him.

The salary difference is neglible you are right, im probably thinking of my own circumstances here. Early on yes, it doesnt matter that much.

In terms of playing him in different defensive positions to hide his weakness, this is absolutely true, and is a very useful tactic that ive come to really appreciate over the last few seasons..... . However it does make managing minutes, others players playing positions and minutes and the general team strucutre/playing abilities need to accomodate this. ie: its a lot more difficult, when compared to just straight 'Play him at C, or PG'...
There is no right/wrong way here really, because the player is so young and has good secondaries, my perspective is just to keep training as simple as possible and as flexible as possible, especially if you are just starting out.

This guy is and will be the pur 100% training focus and your right, any other players that get training is just a bonus :) right now im in basically a bot league so i dont mind playing him in any position...

There is a PF in the SA U21 with 5OD and 5ID... I asked his manager wether he had any training plan, he answered:

"yes i have and it is very important.
i will training ribbons and short shot"

(figure out the fellow has starter potential)

this PF is the 6th best player in the team. I guess I'll have to make do =)

haha
ribbons

last time i was in SA, all i heard was 'shame about the rigby'.
i kept wondering who this Rigby guy was and why people kept telling me about his shame

One of the best players on the Indian U21 team a season or two was starter potential. Sadly he capped after one pop and by the end of the season was quite bad but there was no-one even close in skills to replace him with.

dude last season i had this player

Dante Talbot (13708642)
Weekly salary: $ 13 399
Age: 25
Height: 6'1" / 185 cm
Potential: allstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: tremendous ↑ Jump Range: proficient
Outside Def.: strong Handling: average
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: pitiful
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: prominent

notice the age?

not the u21 team but the senior team! serious couldnt make the u21 b team here but there is senior team material

So just wondering if im doing something wrong with my training. My main trainee hasn't had a pop in the last 3 weeks. First week he had no pop i was training him in ID, so i decided to train him in IS and he hasn't popped in these last two weeks of this training. Ive had him play 48+ minutes with single position and i have a level 5 trainer. Am i missing something??

I would need to know more details. Age and height for a start, but it is very easy fro a slowish skill to occasionally take three weeks to train especially if the age or height isn't great.

It used to happen to me when I was training big men. You don't have to worry about it: you get no pop for 2-3 weeks and then you get 3 pops in 3 different primary skills.

It is my 18 year old small forward, 6'5'' with superstar potential

Should average around 3 weeks per pop for inside.

When he gets to 20 it will be 4 weeks.
