Right now, his most glaring weaknesses are in Passing and Handling, and Jumpshot is less than what I'd like to see as well. Here's what I'd suggest.

-Take this season and train him 1-position on passing. It'll take a while, but bring him up to around Respectable passing. Trust me, it's worth it.
-Train 1v1 for Forwards until you bring Handling up to around Respectable as well, maybe Strong even, hopefully, this will do the same for Driving, if not put it to around Prominent, and in the process, Inside Shot and Jumpshot should both receive a pop or two a piece.
-Put him in a couple weeks of Jumpshot training; it doesn't have to be too much, but bring JS up to at least Average. If he gets this far from 1v1 training, you can skip this step.
-From there, I'd recommend Inside Defense until he caps, if there is space left. A couple pops on Shot Blocking to Average or so would be alright as well, but I don't value it as high as many other skills, and increasing it too much would be a waste if valuable skill points.

By the time you hit cap, he could realistically look like this..

Jump Shot: average Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: average Handling: strong
Driving: prominent Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: tremendous Inside Def.: wondrous
Rebounding: prominent Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: awful Free Throw: respectable

Thanks guys! This is the first I heard of training big men to be so versatile.

Also since he is a center, would training passing help switch him to a power forward?

Passing alone wouldn't turn him into a PF. He also needs better levels of JS, HA and DR.

If you want him to be a PF by Buzzerbeater standards, you just need higher Jumpshot, then his position will change.

About the training, I'd focus on 1v1, and train OD and PA when you have a good opportunity too (when it doesn't hurt your league games to play a Center at PG). If you can train him in scrimmages so your league games aren't affected, I'd train 1v1 forwards first until DR/HA are around 9, so you'll have a great elastic effect for OD and PA. You should start mixing in PA/OD when it's behind Handling 4 levels (so when HA is 5 and PA is 1, train PA until it pops then continue 1v1 training).
