Hi everyone, this isn't to complain, just to see if this is normal, or ticket worthy-

William Allsup- http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=0&pid=1736277
I just received the message- "Hey Coach, just my 2 cents, but I think we could better utilize William Allsup's extra practice time by focusing on something other than rebounding - he just doesn't seem to be making much more progress there." after improving three points this year.  Not a huge deal, except this was the player thoughts this season-

"William Allsup:
athleticism: limited upside
speed: limited upside
defensive fundamentals: limited upside
shot blocking: big upside
ball handling: limited upside
passing: limited upside
stamina: limited upside
durability: limited upside
ft shooting: limited upside"

I had always understood that not being listed meant at least 7 points of potential remaining.  Am I incorrect on this assumption, or should I send in a ticket?

I would send a ticket.

3 point improvement before the email seems pretty low.

However getting the email with 4 points of improvement is not uncommon.   I wouldn't assume 7 points remaining with an average potential.

are you saying that 4 is in the average range? or that the player thoughts email is different? I've always operated under the 1-6 pts = low theory...

Well, here's where I was assuming wrong-

"The email from the assistant coach doesn't mean he has reached his max, just that he's within a few points of it."

I had always been assuming it was one point from the max.

I've had quite a few players that had the preseason coaches email list a category as average (or actually not list the category) and then the assistant's email comes after only 4 points of improvement.
Similar to how a category listed as "big upside" can get the assistant's warning email after 18 points of improvement.

Like asher says it still means that you should be able to get at least another point out of that category if you continue to invest the practice minutes.

i don't know, 3 points, that is pushing it. i am actually surprised about the 4 - i thought the messages were always until you got the capped email. but i guess i know you can get 1, sometimes 2 points after the capped email. so maybe its like, the ranges are what we said, but its until being maxed, not the maxed email.

still - this is disturbing. there was a guy a few weeks back who had avg pot ft% max in like 5 practices for like 9 or 12 minutes of ft practice. me thinks something is broken. of course, you are more likely to win the lottery than.... well, i guess i need to get out my horse beating gloves if i want to continue.
