The 1st is turning into a nice player. Imo you should train pressure for a fair few weeks to get the OD up to around 12 (sensational). It wouldn't do any harm to go higher than that. Maybe train OD up to 12 and then bring passing in line with it. Many would argue that OD and PA are the two most important skills for a PG or even a SG, so they are lagging behind a bit.

If the first guy is your main focus, bring the 2nd guy along with the training which is tailored to suit player 1 and then reassess at the end of the season. A 1 in rebounding could be seen as quite a big hole though.

I was really trying to get his secondaries up because I know those will train better while he's younger because he's so tall. To be honest I almost fired him when I got him so people didn't see how bad he was along with Pick number 1 in season 23 draft. What's worse is that I've got a starter potential Center that came with my team and he's like way better than this guy, he's dropping triple doubles on people even with mediocre passing. My division isn't very competitive, last time I checked I only have 1 other human in it and I'm really crushing most of the computer players. The only reason I lost this last game is because I screwed up my line up really bad and forgot to fix it before game time.

In that case, train secondaries in weeks you have 2 easy matchups that you'll know you win even if you play a bad C as a guard. If you're not sure, start with 1v1 forwards and play him PF, then Jumpshot wingmen and play him as SF. If you still win by large margins, you can play him as PG and train his passing and OD. I'd start with passing because I doubt many bigs in your league have a reliable jumpshot. Personally, I'd just leave OD as it is because if you want to train all his secondaries it will take so long before he can start for your team.

I'd focus on passing, inside D and inside shot. Then when you feel like you've got the hang of training and the rest of the game, you can buy/draft another/better trainee next season, and focus on that one. If you manage to get your first guy good ID/IS/PA, you can keep training him because RB/DR/HA/JS can all be trained with 2 position training. That way you can complete your first guy's training while also getting better trainees soon.

I'm showing one on my three talents. The one I think will take me to the top.
He's Lebron like, future triple-double machine!

What do you guys think about him?

He is a beast with no weaknesses besides free throws I would look at training free throws during all star week to get it up to at least pitiful.

Also,

He's Lebron like, future triple-double machine!

What do you mean "future triple double machine"? He is a machine right now! He has 3 triple doubles already this season and is averaging 12-7-8. That is pretty impressive.

Here's one of my trainees, I'm training one on one for forwards but not sure if it's the right training.

Any advice ?

Yeah, you're dead on!
He's currently on intense OD training, afterwards, we are going to look on some 1on1 skills for him.

I'm hoping he would carry his current game from now, and just bring it to the highest level. All around monster! I hate to say it, but he's my LeBron!

Oh, having him on the u21 NT already, surely helps to gain more experience than normal.

Idea is to train 1on1 mostly on first year. Maybe mix some OD in the end. Next year OD/JR. Maybe mix some ID also.
Goal is to have some balanced SF/PF guys in the end after 8-10 seasons. Any thoughts?
