how do you train these players as C?
Do I need to improve more jump shot?
or, just focus on inside skills, such as ID, IS, REB, SB?

JS is okay for a C.
The 3rd one needs to train up inside skills more, mostly IS, but you can make him a SF.

I forgot to add:
If you want to train them like centers, then they do not need big OD unless they go sometime on perimeter, but still higher is better.

Nothing really to add here, except say that I agree with your suggestions. Nice advice!

does center (C) need outside defence (OD) instead of more inside defence (ID)?

Some amount of OD is necessary at all positions. I don't even look at players with less than inept OD. For a top tier C, their OD should be around 10-12, but 7-8 is usually above average. C's should have as much ID as you can afford, but it's a question of how you want to balance it with other inside skills.
