ok, mr. smart guy, riddle me this:

how important is the SF? Your comments on the lower level SF fit with my experience, and your description of a SF at Div III, my current level, ring true as well. But at Div. II, you seem to throw in the towel at training / creating a LeBron (25 ppg, 8 reb, 8 assists, a few steals and blocks) and instead go to your bench and pull a guard or PF to fill the spot, depending on the situation. so my question: in the grand scheme of things, how important is the SF? can he be defensive whiz, and others score? must he be well rounded? can an offense function effectively without LeBron? should we just develop what is possible -- good guards, good big men, and forget about the mid-size multi-talents? look forward to your thoughts.

I’d say it’s so tough that do so, you’d probably have to sacrifice training any other position to a level where you’d even be able to make it to a top division in large country without having a ton of cash to spend on the TL since the SF training would mean training both outside and inside skills, and neither long enough to get a guard or a center to a salary anywhere near $30k or even $20k for that matter.

simple trick to avoid that handicaps, if you are guard trainer search for a "small" center who was trained to ~20ans in the big man skills, and make him to a Guard trainee. if you train Centers you could make the opposite with big guards, they aren't that expensive and you normally find one if you aren#t totally impatient.

which style SF u need ? Can i give me some of details?
By the way ,how about u draft ? ^ ^

JS/OD 12+ PA 6+ ID/IS 8+. My draft looks better than last seasons,(not great, 5 players with 5 balls but only 1 who i can see his potential) but having the best record in my league i dont have any real hopes to get something decent.

or you could go for three trainees:
1 big guy who has his outside skills too low
1 SF who is sort of in balance
1 small guard who has his inside skills too low

now you do single position training, switching between inside and outside trainings. you strengthen three roles on your team, the big guy faster his inside skills, the small guy faster his outside skills, the SF marching in balance. 2 of the three can be used competitively (semi-competitively in the case of the SF) in each week. I think it's better than raising 3 SFs at the same time like BC Töröö does - who needs 3 SFs?

but i things this brings some trouble then building 1-2 SF with your normal training, because training switches are difficult:

1. You only have one trainee who is strong at your current training program, but up to three games.
2. You have to move your C/PG out of the trainingsspots, if you train that position
3. When you buy your C/PG, you couldn't use that much founds, because you need starters for two non training positions instead of of one
4. Eventually you need also lot of medium trainee, who could be integrated in two position training, mostly for rescueing mins because the most two positions stuff works with the PF's.

Thats why i find iit is easier to integrate just one SF trainee into your training, instead of building then normal(if you plan to switch training you could start rigth away with 18 else i would look that someone else makes the first steps in the opposite training - but even a training switch after two seasons ain't that bad like mentioned before but switching all the time is complicated).
