How old is he? JR trains a little slow (as far as I remember, feel free to correct me). You could leave the JR alone and turn your guy into a shutdown defender or a pass-first guy. You could also make him a player who can shoot from midrange, but not threes (think DeMar Derozan).

The way you use him in tactics depends on your team as a whole, as well as how you build him.

Jump shot without jump range is not so effective.
So you should probably try training jump range, though it might be slow, at 18 and 6 feet one, training time should not pose too much of a problem.

Else you could always pump up both defenses,driving and passing and make him an effective mid range player like stated previously.

Im relatvely inexperienced,so im not sure if i might be qualified to say anything, but hope it helps.

From now until the end of next seasons I would rotate 1 on 1 Fs and Outside shooting traing(1 postition).
The 1 on 1 will get you the JS/DR/Handling. You need all three of these high to take advantage of the elastic effect for JR. With JR at 2 it should be pulled up quite fast depending where your other skills are. I am guessing with 6 1 on 1 trainings and 9 Outside shooting trainings your guy should almost be 11 JS 8 JR maybe more depending on sub levels and he would still be only 19.
Disclaimer...I always use a level 6 trainer, and your player always needs 48+ minutes.
1 on 1 Fs for short weeks. ASG/ offseason if you are not in the playoffs.
outside shooting needs to be done as 1 position training.
When he turns 20....all presure(OD) and passing training. These two really fly when the player has high driving and handles.
Good luck and I would love an update to see if this works for you like it has me in the past.

I wasn't saying get a level 6 trainer. I was just saying that I was able to fix a players crappy JR in a season. Level 4 or 5 would be good too.
