I kid. Honestly, just threw it up on the screen. By rolled the dice, I meant more that you'd had a string of lucky 7s. Not "luck" per se, but with the opponents you faced you still kept on throwin' out those 7s - winning.

Well the draft was very interesting but now I have a huge problem yet again of too many trainees, this seems to happen to me all the time lol so asking for some advice.

There are my possible trainees:

1) Shin Shidehara (24273129) Point Guard Weekly salary: $ 20 209 Age: 21 Height: 6'2" / 188 cm Potential: superstar

The Shinkansen is the 1 certainty whatever I do he gets trained.

2) Takayoshi Kawagichi (21305663) Point Guard Weekly salary: $ 88 868 Age: 23 Height: 6'3" / 190 cm Potential: superstar

Should be my 1st or 2nd trainee but I think he is capped so he has been my 4th trainee getting minutes when I do position training.

3) Eita Wakatsuki (21305793) Power Forward Weekly salary: $ 50 963 Age: 23 Height: 6'11" / 211 cm Potential: MVP

I paid $2.6 million for him because he could become the player Sonada never could. His primaries are behind but his secondaries are 52 to Sonada's 29 and he is still improving fast. Probably a NT chance & my trainee #2.

4) Ichiro Nishimura (25318371) Center Weekly salary: $ 15 075 Age: 21 Height: 6'9" / 206 cm Potential: MVP

My draft pick I sold then bought back. I should love him but somehow I just don't. I was expecting to get nothing in the draft & he would be trainee #3 but I got 2 trainable rookies.

5) Mitsutoshi Fukuzawa (28983260)
Center
Weekly salary: $ 2 956
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 0
Age: 19
Height: 7'1" / 216 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Jump Shot: awful Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: pitiful
Driving: inept Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: mediocre Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: inept

If I am training bigs he is great but I just know I wont train him, will sell & don't expect much.

6) Sasuke Horiuchi (28983247)
Small Forward
Weekly salary: $ 3 955
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 0
Age: 18
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: inept Handling: pitiful
Driving: respectable Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: average Free Throw: inept

My potential next U21 guy. Potential is a bit low, so is OD and don't mention the PA but what great secondaries, if I do a season of inside he could have all secondaries to 8s before turning 19 then I slam the OD & finally train a SG.

Shidehara & Wakatsuki need inside training so inside training it will mostly be. If I train Shidehara, Wakatsuki & Nishimura I can win most league games except against the very top teams. If I train Shidehara, Wakatsuki & Horiuchi I wont win more than 1 league game a week. It is a big decision.

I am very happy with my draft pick....I was tired of getting 18 bench warmers so I moved a 19 yr old 4 ball 5 ball player to the top of the list and boom....Got me a HOF.. he is a little rough but I'll work with it..

I have a chance to get his 1st strong this Friday with rebounding....and then it is all JR,OD,passing and that is all the stuff Asano needs....so Motoori moves to my 3rd trainee spot..

I wonder if I could get him to this by 27...

Jump Shot: marvelous Jump Range: wondrous
Outside Def.: phenomenal Handling: marvelous
Driving: prodigious Passing: prodigious
Inside Shot: sensational Inside Def.: tremendous
Rebounding: prolific Shot Blocking: prolific

This would make him a 191K a week freak of nature..

Ok... salaries came in - I'm at 770k. We have 6 teams over the 750k mark, and one only slightly below.
MUCH better than expected!

New guys are here... and holy crap: we have a new biggest arena.

Schedule's in: WOOT - home game Saturday!

I respectfully disagree...I got Asano at 1 week before his 20 birthday and added 54 skill points....that means I could have this kid up to 106 by his 24th birthday and maybe 125 by his 27th birthday....but I know..nobody can train a player like the GREAT WOLPH!!! I guess we will have to wait and see what is really possible.

BTW....He is only 6'2....I am going to blow up OD to 17 or 18 and ID and passing to 16 and then ID/IS to 12+....a 6'2 PF, now that is funny
