So I have a 22 yr old SF, who has HOF potential, and I'm wondering how I should train him.

I feel like SF is the hardest position to train because you can't do 1 position training with them at all. You can do wingmen or foward training, but can't focus on them individually. The only way to do inside training or rebounding is to do 3 position training, which, correct if I'm wrong, isn't very efficient.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you are just starting to train him, I would recommend selling him and buying someone much younger. 22 is too late in my opinion to start training someone. Buy an 18 or 19 year old with allstar or more potential with respectable outside defence and decent other stats whose height is between 6'4" and 6'8".

Hope that helps.

Well, this is my first full season. I started late last season, so I started training him then (he and my SG were my main targets). I might take your advice and sell him though. I was thinking the same thing with his age... Add that to my difficulty training a SF and it may be a good decision.

Thanks!

No worries. Definitely try and get a younger player to train. SFs are hard to train and take a lot of time, but are very valuable. I would recommend trying to train Bigs or Guards first as they are easier to train, but if you are set on training up an SF, aim for an 18 year old with respectable outside defence, respectable inside defence, at least mediocre driving, at least mediocre passing, at least mediocre jump shot and at least mediocre inside shot. At least that's what I'd be looking for, if one of the stats is slightly lower it may still be worth getting it as the player is still so young.

SF is the hardest to train because if you make him well rounded he needs a lot of different skills. But saying that you can single position train him you just have to play him in different positions not SF. If your training his outside skills like OD, passing, and handling play him one game at PG for the 48 mins if you want to train him in inside skills play him at Center or PF if you can. It is a pain but you can do it.
