Yes. When Bigmen have "good/great range" They will attempt a lot of 3s. That was my biggest problem last season with Chung Hui. Loved everything he did off the bench, and playing, and would have used him over Belkhauous, BUT Chung Hui, would attempt in LI offenses, atleast 4 3s a game when he started, and hit like 0.6 of them... Was almost a triple double machine... but shot so many horrible 3s, it just wasn't worth it. Belkhaous stayed in the paint, and could block/defend much better.

I also, personally would avoid atrocious FT guys.

I've had several, last season and some this even, games where They'd be VERY TIGHT and then Boom, I lose it, because my team shoots FT like LeBron James did vs the Pacers.

ooh, ouch. Sorry man, but I'm doing a strategy, I'm doing one of those "Buy for cheap, sell for BIG deal right now. I think I can do it. All I have to do is get Coleman, Delong, and this guy 48+ minutes a game, and he lives in a micro-nation, so he's basically in NTU21. With superstar potential, and great starting IS, he's too short to be a C. He can be a good PF in the future for another team. Ima sell him cause Coleman's homegrown, and Delongs' from USA. Would like to keep him, but he's Malaysian and I think I will selll him when he comes unmanageable next season. That's my plan. Will put him for like, 700k. Gonna do what you did with Salas.

His secondaries look bad though... thats the major difference.

Salas had great secondaries.

Malaysian U21 Prospect

Well, Mountain Eaglles are in the running to get a Malaysian U21 prospect. Here he is. (skills)

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


Can't rebound, wants to shoot 3s, but can't hit them, inside defense stuff is average... outside def atrocious. Atrocious outside defense means you either need to improve it, or he's going to be a Center.
Driving, Passing, Handling are all not horrible.

I see this guy as a problem. period. I would make him an SF. but with the atrocious FT, OD, Pitiful JS, and awful rebounding it'd take A LOT of work.
As a PF, you're still going to need to improve his OD some... Major problem again... and He can't rebound and will be matched vs people who can. That's forfeiting a lot of possessions.

The guy is just a whole bunch of holes that need fixing. If it was a boat, you'd sink.

Well, I'll fix em up with my other bigs, his IS will take buyers off guard. Still got five weeks of it left. I can get that up to sensational I hope. Then there's the REB training. I can get that up to strong. Then I'll get his ID to 13. SB to 11. Easy. Gets balloned. PF. Gos to sell for at least 600k. My hopes man, sometimes I am the Joker of the TL. And Batman doesn't come in time. 1 bid changes it all........

6'7 he'll train more slowly than Coleman and Delong will.

And depends on the buyers.

I put minimums on the secondary skills for the players I look for "by position" but thats me. I'm anal.

My Merchandise jumped 2K from last week to this week... hopefuly it jumps up another 2k Monday....

Kinda surprised I expected more of a HUGE hit, selling off Homegrown, american, drafted, came with the team players like. Arthur Quigley. Paul Salas.
Then some my minor studs, like Belkhaouos, Chung Hui, Falcao.

Hilton I kept, 1 of my recent draftees... (the worst of them). Sold off Val Jackson, and Rod Franklin... jumped the gun there. Would have kept both of them if I just sold Salas off first.

see, minor mistakes that I make that are detrimental. Too many hard fouls to the head I say.

Well IF you can get all his holes( i agree with the sinking ship theory) filled and get that CHUMP bidder which happens all the time the plan can work.
I always get too attached with some of my players so i hate to buy and sell but it is a good solid strategy.

I guess what i am getting at is ...GO JOKER....haha

Of the 2 players I sold on TL this season, I checked up on them. Heath Christiansen is doing quite well in cup games and scrimmages for his team, and with their SG injured, he looks to get actual league minutes in the near future.

The other player, played in 2 more games, got injured... the owner fired him, and now he is retired.
