An 18 year old 6'7" dude with MVP potential

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: inept ↑
Outside Def.: inept Handling: respectable
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: inept Free Throw: average

What kind of training should I use on him? And what does Pressure & One-on-one Training do?

I would say do pressure training and one on one forwards alternating each week. You could also add in some jump shot and inside defense training. This is a good trainee that should be a force in a few seasons.

Thank you! Another thing, should I also worry about his stamina?

You're welcome. You don't really have to worry about stamina but if you want, you can train his stamina 1 or 2 times so he'll still be effective late in the game. You may want to train his free throws during the all star break or offseason also.

Train OD for the rest of this season, and then move onto JR. You have to first train the skills that take the longest to pop before the training speed starts to slow down. One on one training can be done much later.
Inept stamina is enough for now.

What skills take longer to pop? And what type of training improves OD?

Pressure, and train it until you get to about a 9 or 10 (at minimum, I might go up to at least 12 before I moved my focus onto another skill). At 6'7, OD takes a little longer to train and it is painful when you are trying to train OD at 23 or 24 years old and it takes 4 weeks to pop. If you want to break it up a bit, throw in a JR or One-On-One forwards.

And as far as the slowest skill to train, it depends on the player's height. Generally speaking, OD trains a bit slower than most skills, but it is also one of the best. However it will train faster than post skills for a player who is 6'0. Passing and Ball Handling train quite fast, regardless of height.

Focus on OD by training pressure, but you should do some one on one training to keep his handling at the same level. If you only train OD, it gets slowed down because of the elastic effect.

If you train an SF, you can train all skills. Best thing is to train pretty balanced because they use all skills and that way he is most salary efficient. You can adjust training for the offense/defense you want to run; I like my SF with high OD so I can run 3-2 zone. Then add some more IS for inside attacks or JR for outside attacks. Passing should end up above 9.

For some players (such as tall guards) JR can also be slow. For example, it took 2 weeks for my 6'8" guard to pop, if I remember correctly.
