For a team that usually plays 2-3 Zone Defense, is it better to train my youngster SF in ID or OD?

It really depends on what type of SF's you normally face. Personally I'd suggest a bit of both, with a larger emphasis on OD as many SF's tend to be mono-skilled JS players without a lot of the other skills high. SF is one of the positions that is very fun because there are a lot of different skillsets that people use there, so it's near impossible to say any one type of player is absolutely the best in all situations for that position.

SF is by far the hardest position to train and as a result a lot of people basically have SGs who have a couple of average or respectable skills in IS ID or RE so i believe and i could be wrong that until you get into high level leagues most SFs you play against will be much better in their outside skills

you can usually pick the teams in the lower leagues where that is not the case if a team is training big men and their sf is young then they are probably part of the big man training roster you can double check by looking at scrimmage minutes

the best way to make an awesome SF is to train him as a big for a couple of years concentrate on ID and RE then as a small for a couple working on mainly JS JR and OD

but then again i have never done this so what do i know

I think a good SF, must have both of them.It also depend on team's that you face up.For example, if in your league they have a lot of teams that train outside skills,you can buy a SF with good OD to increase you outside defense, and if you have teams with strong inside skills, and you play 2:3 zone, you can buy a SF with good ID.

im currently training a SF and he popped in ID (proficent). He also has OD (strong). Train ur SF in both OD and ID. i guess you are training Vassilis Gkertsos who is 6'5 and is a great height to train both inside and outside. Im just going on your players salary and i think you might be weaker in OD. I like to play 2-3 as well and it is important to train both. Just my opinon.

im training my man to be sf in the future and he is 18. im training his inside skills at the first year and that will be the only year i will train him inside... i have been told that outside skills is really more important than inside for most of the offence plays.

I am working my own SF prospect, he is 6'5, lvl 4 trainer, and this season got: 1 position training on OD, 1 week JS, 2 weeks ID 1 position, 3 weeks rebs, 1 week IS 1 position. Result? only 2 pop ups on ID/RE...is really painful for me. My 23 y/o C, got by the same time (no OD training) 5 pop ups...

ok, in your opinion , what is the hardest position to train? because , definitely, a good SF, with decent inside/outside skills is very hard to train

I know that is very hard to train, but I think that a good PF is probably the hardest because a Power Forward isn't just a Center with some Jump Shot.

I have to agree SF is easily the hardest position to train. I mean a proper SF none of this SG with average/respectable ID. Especially if they are being 1 position trained and have to be played at C or PG.
