I didn't mean training is completely useless or that no one should train. I'm just saying that for my team training is not valuable at all and would probably cost my team a lot.
My tactic, which I'm not saying is the right tactic for everyone, is to finish 5th this season and sell all my players during the week before playoffs. That way I have no expenses for the offseason and I can get a lot of money.
But to come 5th I need to win a lot of games now, and so training young rookies would just get in the way of me doing that.

I plan on starting up training again next season though, assuming I get at least 1 good player in the draft.

Anyway, there is no indication that the market will improve either, but in my opinion, selling trainees this season is not going to net you as much money as in the past.

This is what I would do:
1. Train Inside Shot up to Sensational.
2. Train Passing up to Strong.
3. Train Jump Shot up to prominent.
4. Train One on One for 6 weeks.

The reason being that if you keep training inside shot you won't be able to afford the salary.
Training passing up is very helpful to your team and will add a lot of value if you choose to sell the player.
Training jump shot will add a lot of value and allow the player to play at PF more effectively.
Training one on one will allow you to get better secondaries and keep salary low and lower turnovers.

I'll try that. I want to make a push for Div 3 next season so I can handle an 80k salary, but we'll see how it goes. He should make U-21.

The above advice was only if you were keeping him on your team.
If you are going to try and make the U21 team and are not concerned with salary then I would do the following:

1. Train Inside Shot to Sensational
2. Train Jump Shot to prominent
3. Train ID, IS and Rebounding up to wondrous.

The reason being that I think that to make the U21 team, especially in the US, you can't spend too much time training secondaries.
However, I don't know what the current skills are for U21 players in your countries team so if his primaries are already good enough in comparison, then it would be far better for your own team to go with training secondaries.

Great player there.
If I were you I would do the following:
1. Train Rebounding up to prolific.
2. Train Inside Shot to prolific.
3. Train Jump Shot up to Strong.
4. Train Outside Defence up to Strong.
5. Train one on one until Driving is on Strong.
6. Train passing up to Strong.
7. Train Jump Range up to Strong.

Would be an absolute gun!

Goodluck in playoffs.

The reason I suggested training so many guard skills is for the following reasons:
1. Keeps salary quite low
2. Well rounded players are better players
3. They are already high so a bit of training in the guard skills will go a long way.
4. It will substantially increase the value of your players for when you sell them


However, I understand why you are training inside defence up high first.
Hopefully you can promote to div 3 and continue training this player because he has the potential to be a great player.
