I don't know how fast such a player would train, no one has taken a player from 18 to 25 or 26 with cross training. ID and SB are connected, and passing trains very fast, but getting the last few pops in OD would be painful. Although, going off Josef Ka's new formula, a player with those stats wouldn't hit a potential cap with MVP or higher, so feasibly you could spend an extra season or two training beyond 26 if you were set on hitting those numbers, assuming it would in fact take that long. Even if you set the targets a little lower, you'd still have a very effective player.

The main issue is that you won't find many teams that are willing to devote 7 or more seasons to train a player with limited offensive capabilities and subpar rebounding out of position. That's also why quality SF's are so rare. It requires a lot of sacrifice to create unique players, and few people want to sell them.

it seems like being unique can be successful if you play it right, but it almost sounds to difficult to be logical unless its ingrained in what your doing.

We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

It's certainly expensive to buy unique players, but if you have a plan right from the start it's not necessarily so difficult. If you were creating a look inside point guard, for instance, you should get a player with respectable IS, then start out by training IS. The problem with a lot of teams is that they wait until a player is fully developed to train secondaries. It's much easier to train your 5k trainee at center in your cup/scrimmage than to throw a league game to train your 200k PG.

I'm looking at a player right now that has 16 OD 8 ID and averages and respectables on all other guard skills.... Think it's worth it for the cheap boost to my OD?

Ideally you'd want passing or some offensive capability, but a player like that would be great if you need to stop a good guard.
