All of my players have atrocious experience except for one, who has pitiful (he's only 18). Does this mean that whatever player I play at point guard will just take the most shots (I use run and gun and motion), because that is what I have observed, even thought my PG is never my best shooter/scorer. And I'm not talking slightly more shots than SG and SF, but a lot more.

Depending on how fast your 18yo out-trains your 20yo you will likely be able to identify from your list the most likely reasons.

I think so far, I'd lean towards the weaker/stronger opponents.... when you have mis-matches in scrimmages or cup games you see players go for much better numbers (or as you've seen with CT)... so I think its more who they are paired up against on the night.. the other variables will come into play but this for me is the key one.

Also (and I know not relevant) if you havent got the cash right now, train OD up to at least strong using single position. The other skills you are improving will be nice but if and when you ever try to sell either player they are sadly almost worthless to anyone without the OD.

Well I have decided to stop training my 20 yr PG (Andrea), and got a new trainee to replace him. I want to do as you suggested and train OD next, but I have 6 good trainees, and want to do 2 position instead of 1 position.
The trainees:
age salary (est by calc) Potential Height
18 4226 All-star 6'2
18 5360 All-star 6'5
18 5384 All-star 6'4
18 5440 Starter 6'3
18 8636 Star 6'1
20 5854 Perennial 6'3

I only have 11 players on my team, so I do not want to sell the trainees this season. Is it still worth it to do 2 pos training OD for all 6 if they get 48 min each week?

(Too bad my 5th and 6th players can't switch their potentials :()

In my opinion any successful 1 or 2 position pressure training is profitable and beneficial to your team development.

Ok so most regimes are but I feel this is even more so.
