Thoughts on my new draftee? I have to start him on Outside Shooting, then probably pack on the OD. U21 chances?

Only all star potential but great starting skills. Probably get the most out of him if you go the SF route but a little outside shooting and then plenty of OD is always a good place to start.

Hey guys got this bloke in the draft, am only new to BB and just wondering what I should focus on in the training department, I was going to focus on his inside skills IS, ID & reb should I focus on anything else? And is he a chance at NT selection?

Wow nice player, if you train him right he'll definately be in the mix for NT selection.

You could probably go quite a few ways with him, but I'd make him a PF.

To start with, I'd actually be tempted to get him JR up a few levels (with hopefully a JS pop in there as well). Maybe chuck in a level of OD as well. Should probably take half a season or so. From there, yeah I'd work on IS, ID and rebounding, with the some jump shot training chucked in as well.

That is some sound advice and with a surname like Careless, he is going to be a marketing dream for any team.

Ok guys, here's my draftee who i'm pretty happy to have scored:

Garland Stevens (16764376) Power Forward
Weekly salary: $ 4 517

DMI: 10000
Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable

Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: awful
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: mediocre Passing: inept
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: pitiful ↑ Free Throw: inept

I'm thinking i'll start off with some jumpshot training, then move across to ID and rebounding to make him a pf with range, or an inside focused sf.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Again, you could go a few ways with this guy, my personal opinion is that he may be best suited to the inside SF type role. Therefore, I'd spend pretty much all of this season banging away on his outside skills. Ideally, something like 2-3 pops in OD, JR and passing would be ideal by the end of the season. So his outside skills could look something like:

Average Mediocre/Average
Prominent Strong
Average Respectable

From there, you have a really solid base to work on his inside skills for the next couple of seasons, with some jump shot training mixed in there (and maybe a little more OD when possible).

If you want to make him into a PF, some JR and passing before moving into inside skills would probably be your best bet.

Either option sounds good and he has the right height for that sort of plan. I would throw in 2-3 levels of Passing training also and more for a SF.

Um, if you're dedicated to making him a SF, he may develop a bit too late to make the U21 NT, but he can still be an fantastic player.

If that's the route you'd like to take, just train JR and OD for the rest of this season.

8 weeks OD and 6 weeks JR.

Then next season, train jump shot and passing, split 8/6.

When he's 20, you can smash some inside skills, mainly ID and IS.

When he's 21 again, just train OD and JS/One on One for the season.

At 22 you can either polish his passing/jr, or focus a bit more on his inside skills.

Or that

I actually think he could make the U21s as a SF though, I could potentially see him turning into a Shortall-esque player.
