Depends on the training plan, of course. That said, about 10 pops per season are reasonable. Assuming you had the perfect 18yo PF trainee - all skills high respectables, all time great potential, and you are training him to be a C or the U21 and a PF for the NT, his development would look something like this:

end 18yo. Trained in IS, ID and RB
JS: 8 JR: 7
OD: 7 HN: 7
DR: 8 PA: 7
IS: 10 ID: 10
RB: 10 SB: 8

end 19yo, trained in IS, ID and RB
JS: 8 JR: 7
OD: 7 HN: 7
DR: 8 PA: 7
IS: 13 ID: 13
RB: 13 SB: 8

end 20yo, trained in IS, ID, RB and SB
JS: 9 JR: 7
OD: 7 HN: 7
DR: 9 PA: 7
IS: 15 ID: 15
RB: 15 SB: 10

end 21yo, trained in JS, DR
JS: 12 JR: 8
OD: 7 HN: 9
DR: 12 PA: 7
IS: 17 ID: 15
RB: 15 SB: 10

end 22yo, trained in OD, PA
JS: 12 JR: 8
OD: 9 HN: 10
DR: 12 PA: 10
IS: 17 ID: 16
RB: 15 SB: 10

This might be one possible path. While I haven't had such a trainee, I did have such pops until 21 for a trainee with a worse skillset, so this isn't utopian. Note that such a player will get expensive fast, costing more than 200k/week at 22yo already.

I think player trained in this way will not play in U21.

Touché. He'll play in the U21 though... as 20yo.

So yes, those are all upper bounds, and any player less than one season behind these estimates would still have great chances for the U21.

Depends on his height, but if you are training a PF, I would start with outside D and get it to level 10. It is the slowest to train, so you should train it while he is young. Of course, this might not help you win games as he may be useless inside. But, that is ultimately the better development path and he won't be starting for the U21 team before age 20 any ways.

One of benefit training OD is that it also trains ID, but don't you think it is difficult to reach 10 in OD for a tall PF or even C ?
First of all it is difficult to find C from the draft high OD. In this case he might have 1 in all other "small" skills. And other thing - to get to lvl 10 you'll need nearly a full season, are you sure to have enough time to train other, primery skills for a Big man ?

As a PF trainer, I prefer my trainees to be medium height. Too tall, and they won't have any good outside defense or jump range. If you find a medium-height trainee with a starting OD of 5 or 6, 10 is absolutely possible during the age 18 season.
