I ran your analysis through the training simulator and the closest I get is:
TSP = 119
14 7
10 14
15 9
15 16
14 5
I get an age of 27.5 to reach this. Also those values send him exactly to the high side of his cap at 26. Note that JS is higher due to JR training. Also hand/driv training bumps up one each.

My strategy: TSP = 120
14 3
13 16
18 11
16 13
13 3
I get an age of 27.25 to reach this. I am not training JR or SB directly but I assume they will each pop at some point (3 is their original untrained values). My cap equates to 25.

So to summarize, you are suggesting SB/JR/ID in favor of OD/Driving/IS/Passing.

My strategy for the player = offensive minded player who can contribute from either the SF/PF position
Your strategy for the player = Post player who can can shoot outside/inside

Best offenses for my player: Inside/Neutral
Best offenses for your skill set: Inside/Outside

Why I like my skill set better?
He concentrates his skills in specific areas to make him strong offensively while being able to play at the 3 spot. He will be a matchup issue for an outside based SF.

One other note is that my build leaves him uncapped longer and has some wiggle room in case he is a low end superstar. Also, his salary is much lower in my build.

I suggested you my idea because i dont like specific but all round players and they are more useful...

Keep training ;)

In a way I am modeling after a player I just sold: Jason Koenig
12 2
6 12
17 7
14 14
12 8

He played SF for me 16 times in Div II. He dominated offensively and when my other players were struggling to score inside, he could pick up the pace. However, he would get scored on at will from jump shots and 3 pointers. The first week I bought him, he double dropped in inside scoring. So I never saw him with 16 IS.

Also he averaged a 13 Rating from the SF/PF position. Which I thought was interesting considering how bad his defense ability was.

One other thing to note is he didn't jack up 3's from the SF position. This is important to keep in mind when looking at him. His FG% was 52.5% for the season.

If you're going to use him as PF he doesn't need to shoot 3s to take advantage of poor outside D on PFs he can step out to midrange and shoot or drive past poor D so strong to proficient is plenty for me. I'd sacrifice a little range and maybe an inside/outside D pop for some shot blocking; if he is to play Pf he'll need shot blocking to counter look inside offence. Other may disagree but also FT is a worry....

Really nice player though and will be your cornerstone player for years to come :)
