Paul Salas ↑popped↑ in Shot Blocking from inept to mediocre .

Nice!!! Those two pops will be very helpful BTW the australia dude that posted above is most likely your strongest competitor. He has a 6'9" 6k 18 year old Hall of Famer PF.... Your is at a slight disadvantage but you still have a good chance. Or America has a good chance at getting both of them on the U21 roster

Nice job there. I assume that you know how to single-position train. Just keep pumping his primaries and if you need help or want to sell him, just let us know. Do you want to make him a C or PF?

Well when you look at his height, you would think that PF would be the best options, but with his bad jump shot and outside defense, I would make him a Center.

His jump shot is good but not much range. Vinnie Soto guy (main competitor) better range, but worse shot. I think some logic to Soto being a Center and Salas being the PF. Between those 2... they both are like 6'10, 6'9 area. so not much change for either in that sense. Especially when you compare the 2... Soto has better Shot Blocking. Training will make all the difference in the world.

Perhaps the stronger case for Salas over Soto is the difference in OD. PFs are slightly weighted in outside team defense and do have to defend outside shots, so Salas's 6 OD is much better as a PF than Soto's 2. But still, it's a long way until season 21, so a lot could change. Both or neither of these guys might be contenders by that time. We don't know for sure, but they're both top competitors for roster spots at this very early stage.

No worries, cheers. I've trained up an Australian U21/NT C before (Dally Wilson) and a Philippines U21 PG, so I've got some experience training national players. I'll most likely train him up as a C for the reasons you guys mentioned above, and it fits well with the Australian 18yo I'm training too. Currently plan to rotate him on 3 weeks on the three big man skills.

My PF-prospect Kris Hunt got 3 pops week ago, his JS, DR and HN are now average :)

Nice job, keep training.

This is William Ortiz....the first Arizona Desert Storm draftee with real potential to be something special.
