Hello, I would like to help with training. My idea is to train SF, but I do not want my team to lose competitiveness in the process. What is the best method?
These are my players. What do you think?

Thanks.

There is always going to be a trade off with competitiveness when training SFs. You just gotta decide if it's worth taking the performance hit to train them outside and train inside skills on weeks where you have two or more important games (prob just IS at this point). One on one (forwards) is also a good option since you can train outside skills at SF and PF and you can get them both done in one game, plus it provides skills they really need.

I think the easiest way to train SFs in general is to have one or two main trainees who are guards or big men and then train your SF in the least important game each week. After you've got their skills to an acceptable level switch your main trainee so you are doing the opposite (if you were training outside switch to inside). It's easier to train one SF than two because it is a lot more likely there will be one unimportant game (like scrimmages) than there will be two unimportant games.

Edit: you could probably get away with training 1v1 forwards for the whole season, might even be your best option (with OD on weeks that don't matter).

Do you think it would be better to train them as SF or PF? Thanks.

Espantoso is 3? Really. Weird.

Do you think it would be better to train them as SF or PF? Thanks.

I think the 6'9" player could go either way. He'll worth more on the TL as an SF (or a PF with good outside skills) but that OD training will be a pain.

The 6'5" player I would definitely make an SF.

Edit: also you don't have to decide yet. Even if you wanted to make him a PF it's good to train his outside skills this season.
