The 7'0 guys will train quickly, they will pop next week (maybe the week after at the latest). The 6'5 guy will not train very fast. It might be better to sell him and get someone taller.

No worries.

Also the fact that one of them is 24 years old so you might not see a pop in him for another 3 or so weeks.

You've got to stop replies like this. You are talking like he only has the intention to train the guy in IS only forever. You and I both know the value of players like this.. yes, I agree his IS will train slower but what about if the player is suitable to give some OD or Passing? He'll surely become more rounded (and therefore affordable) over time than training 3x 7ft guys. Think a bit deeper into the questions you answer and dont be afraid to not answer someone if you aren't entirely able to give alternative opinions.

If he has 2 guys that are 7'0 and 6'5, then it is going to be hard to train all of them effectively. Sure he could train the shorter guy in OD or passing, but then is 7'0 guys will train very very slowly during those weeks.

I was thinking in terms of effectiveness, I think he would get a lot more for his team if he trained 3 7 foot guys that can all increase their skill quickly, and are focused on the inside skills + passing + Jump shot. Rounded players are more affordable, but considering he has 2 really tall guys, they are going to train very slowly in outside skills. If it is a question of affordability, he can always sell one of them before the end of the season for a nice profit and then buy a rookie and start the training process again.

If you are honestly telling me that you would opt for 3x 7ft guys, I either won't believe you or won't take any of your other replies across the forums with anything other than a pinch of salt.

Even if he does opt to train 3 x 7ft guys he wont likely be able to afford the salaries after 2 seasons... and considering its going to take 3-4 seasons to properly train anyone worthy of a return off the transfer market then I would argue there are much better ways to plan ahead.

The profit margins seem too small right now so at best lets assume he sells one trainee out of 3 (a 7ft guy) keeps another guy as his starting Centre then buys a new guard trainee(s) with the money and trains the 6'5 guy with the new trainee(s).

7ft guys also from my observation train slower in passing than shorter guys and training 3x 7ft guys at PG, PG & PG is going to severly dent your chances of winning 3 games in a gameweek... having the 6'5 guy gives you flexibility with regards to what you train and gives you the ability to maybe train Guard skills if you are definitely looking to throw a game.

So you keep trying to justify to yourself that the 3x 7ft guys is the way to go.... I am convinced this is not the route you would take and therefore am questionning why you are advising so.

So you are suggesting to keep the 6'5" guy so that when you stop being able to afford the 7'0" guys, you can buy some gaurd trainees and continue training the 6'5" guy? Is that right, or did I misread what you wrote?

Thats what Im suggesting.

Assuming each 7ft guy goes to 15k salary (end of season 1) 40k salary (conservative end of season; Sell 1 7ft guy (saving 40k salary) Buy 2 x 5-7k guards and train OD/PA/DR anything really that wont really make the 6'5 guy that much more expensive.

At this time he'll have a great Center, a decent SG/SF(the 6'5 guy) and 2 other trainees as well as whoever he was fielding originally. He could be in good position to promote at this stage (much more chance than with 3 centres) and with luck he'll be able to hang on to all his players from here on in.

How do you see his team evolving with 3 big men only? At what point can you see him improving his guards (understanding that guards are the most expensive to buy off of the Transfer list.)

Well I was under the impression he was 2 position training 6 players, maybe I'm wrong but that is the impression I got from his original post. I was assuming that the height of the other guys he was training were high as well. His income from his arena would allow him to purchase some older but still good point guards and shooting guards. His remaining 6 players could be trained in the C/PF positions to improve his team from that aspect. Then at the end of the season (I'm assuming the players are all young) the salaries won't have increased that much and he will have 6 decent C/PF players and still have his older guards that will be good. Also he will be accumulating money from his arena in the mean time. I think this would be enough to promote in div 4.

To answer your last question, I see his team improving by having 6 big men (3 Cs and 3PFs) plus his older guards (that aren't suberb but good enough for a league filled with bots).
