Hey there. I picked up this player in the draft recently and have been training him throughout the season (not all single position unfortunately) and I just wanted some opinions on what to improve on next season. The plan at the moment is to finish off the season with single position OD training and hopefully get another pop before playoff time. He was originally a SF but because of the height I'm training him to be a SG. He has decent secondaries that I can work on later in his career.
Any advice would be awesome

Plan so far:
2 weeks Pressure PG

I would get him 2 or 3 Passing pops soon. Even though you want him to be a SG if your one position training u will need to play him at PG a lot. So your offensive flow will be bad if he plays PG with mediocre Passing.

His defence is good enough for now...You should now take advantage of the elastic effect and start to train the other outside skills such as jump shot and jump range...

Yup. Lay off the OD for now, focus on JR and PA till around strong/proficient, then move to OD/JS training before rounding out what you need (PA/JR/DR).

Focus on Free Throws and Shot Blocking.... Naah, just kidding :p

The other guys are correct, 4 weeks passing, 4 weeks JR, 3-4 weeks JS.. or something like that.
Until he looks like this:

Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: prominent Handling: strong
Driving: proficient Passing: respectable

Thanks guys. I'll be going onto passing for a number of weeks followed by some JR and I'll probably be looking for more help

Hes got decent height and you should really train his rebounding up to at least inept or so.

I would do like the others said but instead of doing JS training i would do

JR
PA
1VS1

And repeate that over the season.

I train guards and doing something similar,one of them are potential U21

Switching between one position training and two position training is a big loss of training efficiency. I would rather recommend to train all skills that provide one position training along with three trainees and switch to two position training along with 5 or even 6 trainees as soon as the the first skills have developed enough. Of course its also possible to do it the other way around.
