The Best Position listed for a player doesn't really mean anything. You can play him anywhere. If he has the skills necessary for a PG, it would make sense to play him there. It's important to note that the game engine does not take height into account, only player skills. A 6'2" C with respectable rebounding will rebound as well as a 7'7" C with respectable rebounding. The logic behind this is that the 6'2" C is a better rebounder than the 7'7" C, but the 7'7" guy is way taller. Thus, it evens out.

Is it true that the taller player will train faster in rebounding?

Yes, IIRC. Similarly, a short player will train handling quicker.

The rules say that skill training is tied to height, so your 7'0 PG might not imrove his outside shooting and passing as fast as a shorter player, but may improve his rebounding faster.

But for example if he is a good outside shooter and ball handler, then it may be OK to use him at PG. If he is a respectable jump shooter and range, it means exactly that, and not that he is surprisingly good for someone that tall. If he has atrocious rebounding, it doesn't mean that he will get rebounds despite this because of his height, but that even with his height he isn't very good.
