One thing that REALLY bugs me about people training is the gulf they have between JS and JR, whats the point having a guy who has a 16 JS but can't shoot past the paint? It's pointless. Sacrifice some of his 1v1 and add JR, or reduce his JS. I've trained three guys who have gone on to be good shooters and every time there JS and JR have been very close in ratings, 14 JS, 12 JR, for example.

JR only has a big impact IMHO on three-point shots. If you are designing an inside/neutral team, it could make more sense to distribute skill points to something other than JR like DR/PA which are cheap on a SF.

I just drafted two Perennial Allstars, with their heights and skills they would make a great SF/PF pair in the future. How would you build them?

i got this guy on previous draft any suggestions/advice for training formula on this one. thanks.

I trained my allstar to

11/12
12/12
13/10
13/11
9/10

113 skills, probably can squeeze few more skills in, end build should be

12/12
12/13
13/11
13/11
9/11

I guess pallstar can reach some 125 skills, maybe more if you really pump up SB

125 skill points with allstar potential ... Sounds nice. Where is he now?

Tadic is now 121 skills

12/12
13/13
13/11
13/12
10/12

Andjelic 119

13/12
14/12
12/11
12/14
6/13

How old was he when Tadic achieved 121 points?

One of my trainees is 26 years old now, and having 103 skill points. however it's really difficult to get pop up.

any experience sharing, which skill to train at the last? Passing? or blocking?

I think I last trained him during 26-th year, or maybe 27-th. I used exclusively level 3 trainers the entire time.

I trained him balanced all the time, since I didn't originally have a final plan, nor I thought they would reach so many skills. I think I planned for 100+ skills orginally, it ended up almost 120 for all my trainees.

Third was Obradovic 116 skills

11/7
12/10
11/10
15/15
10/15

He was mvp potential, but I focused on maxing out two allstar trainees, since I didn't think Obradovic could reach good enough skills on mvp salary.

So who knows, perhaps balanced training is the way to go, I don't think we know for sure, training site went down a long time ago, and that simulator has shown to be too slow, actual training goes quite faster.
