At the start of the season, I picked up 3 18-year-olds to train. I have a solid financial situation, a good coach and youth trainer, upgraded training facilities — everything’s in place. Here are my trainees as of today.

Right now, I’m training 1v1 PG/SG. How should I continue?

How should I train them next season? Do you think they could be NT prospects for their respective countries?
I’m aware there’s a height gap between the three, but it is what it is. Thanks in advance for any advice!

My goal would be to get to first league and keep 2 out of 3 until then, prob sell one. Possibly get the legends to National team and/or U21. No idea yet about how I actually want to develop them as players. Also, Im training 1v1 forwards, not guards, sorry.

Edit: generally, my idea would be to train them as SF/SG, maybe selling the 6'1 one.
Edit: the first 2 trainees seem to be like they have very similar skills at the moment, beside, of course, the 4 inches difference.
