I'm training 3 SFs and I can afford to play them any position because of the the league I'm in. I'm going to train them 1-position for 3 seasons, mostly in defense, and then move to 2-position training for about 2 seasons which will cap them out I think.

Do you think it's better to spend an entire season training only inside or outside, or to train a little bit of everything each season?

if you proceed the way iwen does, it's better to train season-wise. In your case, however, you can do whatever helps your team more - at least until you promote.

I'll promote this season. The Panama U21 coach has asked me to train ID and OD this season because the team doesn't have anyone to defend at SF, and my guy could be in the team as early as next season at age 19. I think after this season I'll spend an entire season focused on outside skills then inside for the season after.

All 3 started with respectable ID and OD, that was my main criteria for purchasing.

sounds like a good plan. If you want more specific advice, you can post them on the forum (on the other hand, better ask the Panama U21 coach if he cares...)

Age: 20
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: MVP
Jump Shot: sensational Jump Range: strong
Outside Def.: prominent Handling: average
Driving: proficient Passing: average
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: strong Free Throw: strong

This is my SF whom I'm one position training. I was thinking of training inside next season, but with his height, will the skills pop retardedly slow??? I'm asking this cuz I've never trained big-men in my BB career. If so, I might just keep training his guard skills and make him into a SG. Any opinions?

Training 6'5 as a big man (2 positions indeed but you will get an idea) one of the seasons i got only 2 pop ups...

Hmm how old is he??? well 2 position and only 2 pops...kinda discouraging.
What I might do is that I'll probably just get the inside shot and inside defense to proficient (I'm pretty sure one week of one position training IS and ID will bring respectables to strongs). Then probably hope that one week of rebounding will bring average to respectable...maybe that's it for inside training.
