shooting outright horrible...
OD decent for a big guy
handling.... ouch
passing is GREAT
driving... good

big man skills.... obviously rebounding needs work.

I'm no expert on this stuff, so I don't know what the effect of that horrible handling is...
But try and train him to be a Center. Pure Center kinda guy. Like Ben Wallace, only his Inside shot actually scores.

Edit: as far as U21... he prob has a lot of competition, that were more rounded-ish... but his high starting SB, may give him a slight advantage, that and his passing... I'd post him on that "what about my best trainee" thing in help forum (jack, link me!? lol)

So what about Coleman; The original.................who would like me to put him as a ""tall"" Power Forward??? I really like him cause he's my original and got decent OD/JR.....got strong IS/7ID/7REB


EDIT;i 'm thinking of selling Boyle after 2-3 pops........ Could sell him for at least 30k. I hope. I really want Coleman to be a PF I think, Coleman like Shaq/Dwight Howard, so now will make him more like a nicer version of Howard, cause Howard's really a PF, not a C, with some Shaq's characterisitics in him.......for Delong, he'll be like a..........IDK, Larry Bird???

older. Less potential. Salary not hugely higher... make him your 2nd trainee, backseat style.

JR for big guys, doesn't do much unless their JS is good too. Otherwise, like my player Marc Lanegvin, it just encourages them to inappropriately shoot 3s...

both of them, you'll want to get the ID up to prominent kinda area. Then teams won't be able to LI or kill you inside (d. V)

Yea be careful how you train him as bigs salary tends to balloon rather rapidly out growing a D5 income.

Don't worry, I think I can manage it...........what I'll do now is probably put Delong at C, put COleman at PF, then sell Boyle, and see what happens, for now Delong will back up Coleman and Start in scrimmages...........

That sounds like a good idea, training the 2 guys total...
starting coleman (homegrown guy) to try and get him in leaderboards etc. backing up with Delong, and then playing Delong in the scrimmages. Course, when you are working rebounding down the road this season. They can both play at same time... that's where it can be exciting.

Edit: Plus, don't worry about salary balooning, You plan to promote after this year anyways right? Their Salaries will only jump to the 15kish area this season anyways. Its after the next season, where the guys would be at like 50+K kinda area and be like.... whoa.
