It's depend on what do you want to do with them....you want to train them and don't know which one to choose?

Assuming u cant upgrade both of them , I would suggest u start the First Center and focus ur area of training on other players. By draft (and training) and buying new players you will be able to upgrade that position.
The first Center has better IS and better ID which in my opinion are the most important for Center then comes the others. He is even a better shot blocker, Rebounding is related to many factors including ur defensive tactics and 2 point upside to the second C is not enough to tip the hat for him. Both suck in JS, 2 or 3 is merely the same.
Hope my advice is useful.

i want to know both train and start

The second center is very clearly better IMO. I'm assuming you're not going to be using inside based tactics if your choices are between those two centers, so rebounding takes precedence over IS imo...

Also, a center with atrocious passing is no center in this game...The second one's stamina is also a plus, though, not that important.

yeah im playin in base offense

wht should i train gilbert in

Because he is only 18 years old and has a way good potential. I don't know his skills, but you can probably make him a decent PF/C or even SF.

here it is his stats

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: average Handling: inept
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: awful ↑ Inside Def.: strong ↑
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: atrocious Free Throw: pitiful

Experience: pitiful

and he is a sf

Yea, I would definitely train him. Try to manage all three of them will get 48 minutes (everyone plays one full game a week) one the position you're training, which would be center-training for now. Maybe you will consider to sell the two players you mentioned in the first post, due to their low potential/age (See what you will get during upcoming draft). But focus on Gilbert. increase his inside skills a couple seasons and then switch to Guard training for a while and you might get a decent PF.
Thats what I would do.

these might be the last 2 things i might want

I think in both cases the starters are the better players. But don't focus training on them (see what the draft will bring to you).

One more thing I want to suggest. You built a team of many young players. This is not a bad thing of course, but it doesn't make much sense in a game like BB. Young players are usually more expensive on the transfer list because they are trainable. But, if you are not going to train them, young age is kind of useless. A new team like yours grow very fast and you will see, that in a few seasons your best players now will become less and less important to your team (unless you train them of course), because you will buy better players every season. Buy older players with higher experience for the position you don't train. Imo experience give quite a big influence on a player's performance.
