If training together, it won't work out and neither will be great. Both can be OK.

#1 needs OD more while #2 needs lots and lots of IS and ID. I guess if you pounded the inside, #1 could just be a PF.

So i guess that trained together, they would make better SGs... did'nt they ?

#1 with just OD9 at this age will be tough to get up to OD17-18 for a great SG.

What do you guys think about this guy?

This is the first season where my training regime is going to be focused on him. Up until this season, he was getting trained with some guards, which is why he has such good passing. But I'm determined to play him at SF because I think his skillset is very promising for the position, except for the gaping hole at Inside Shot. Any advice on where I should start?

OD, then IS. Ideally you'd want 14 OD I think, but that may be tough now. 12-13 would be good.

Then pound IS as much as you can. Then I'd probably cap him by doing more JS, or RB.

I believe that a small forward should be versatile. The ideal SF should be able to play all positions at both ends of the floor. Maybe he won't have the right height to play C, but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't be able to play C, or PG for that matter. I won't suggest any skill sets because I'm too new to the game, and I'll leave you to your own definition of versatile.

Great player. I especially like you got ID out of the way.

I would train 1 on 1 for guards until HA reaches 13 and then OD to 17. You can always train passing later as it's very fast training and you will have a nice elastic effect set up. Even at 26 years PA will increase every two weeks, so no pressure. OD however is a very slow training, especially with negative elastic effect, so I'd advise to train OD before PA.

Upside to training PA now though is your team will benefit from it later when you train OD. Training OD on players with lousy passing can be quite detrimental to your team.

This is my SF who is still training. I'm planning for pops in IS (3), ID (1), JS (2) and RB (1), HA (1) and DR (1). 9 pops in next two seasons - not easy, but could make it, especially because he has high sublevels in IS, JS, HA and DR. I wanted to train OD or PA some more, but since he fits in PG formula that would make him reach his potential too quickly.

thanks, yeah that is my debate, i am thinking of focusing on training this season so OD might be a goer first. I have another 18y.o H.O.F big guy who will benefit from OD and Passing.

Can you share your 18y olds skills with us?
