Post players are bigmen: PF and C.

Not sure how effective such a build would be, but assuming you're aiming for a C with high passing, you would probably need 1v1 forwards at the start.

1v1 forwards until DR/HA hits 12 (it's not height dependent so it's not that bad
Monorole PA until 12 (apparently PA pops faster the taller your player is)
ID until 12, then RB until 12, IS until 12 and SB later on.

Also it would depend on how high his potential is.

I'm not quite sure if it's advisable to train passing against elastics, but I guess when he's so tall, it might work out.

Currently I started with pass because I have only 3 players to train, I don't have players to fill the slots for 1v1 right now.

I was thinking to go 1v1 next season so I can add a new players to my training plan, but i want to optimize the training so I can switch to 1v1 right now

why ?

anyway i want to try strange builds, its ok if its not the best to do.

excuse me i dont want to be too cautious with semantics but in basketball, a player who uses the post area to his advantage can be considered a post player. I know there is no lebron james in buzzerbeater but, lebron is the definition of SF who is post oriented. anyway my 2 cents would be to train the player as a scoring/rebounding machine

"A post player is a player who is comfortable playing with his back to the basket. He is not afraid of contact and will come back play after play despite getting hit even when he doesn't have the ball."

I think its a playstyle, not really a position...

Good ! And they are same size so we can compare.

That is a modern interpretation IMO. Basketball has come a long way, traditionally post players meant bigmen, who are the two positions who are tasked to attack and guard at the post (basically they're the two people at the post for a 1-4 on offense and a 3-2 zone?).

But since times have changed, I guess I will need to use bigmen in the future to avoid confusion.

Not having enough players to "fill the slots" shouldn't matter. If you are serious in training players, having the most efficient training is what matters.

There you go, you've got your answer mate. IMO games are for enjoyment, so even if what you love to do isn't the most optimum, it's totally fine as long as you don't mind the things you're missing out. In my previous team, I really loved the NT (particularly the U21), and I would go all out on buying up these former NT/U21 players to fill my roster (most of them were past their prime and had skills dropping here and there). It was terrible for my finance, and coupled with the NT player I was training and a small arena size (I didn't expand it and by the time I knew it was important, I didn't really have the funds to do so), I was constantly going in and out of debt. But I loved it and it gave me a sense of purpose of the game, so it's totally fine to try inconventional builds if you love to do so.

why ?

As for why, it's because usually people train the faster skills to be high enough so that the slower skills can pop faster than their usual speed. But it's just my personal preference of not training passing that way. It's totally fine if you want to do so.

Swedes and Finns had some players built that way (although I doubt they were that well rounded). This was one of them (28622847).
