I am currently training a PF. I feel that rebound is pretty important, especially for the NT as the opponents don't let everything in, and a couple of OR or DR are pretty neat.
His current status is
12 8 11 - 14 14 11 - 16 15 17 13
Hopefully there is still some capspace for an additional JS/DR/IS. Gonna try anyway.

Hmm.. I agree rebounding is nice to have but even if they keep shooting and your ID and SB is good enough so they miss, you'll eventually grab the rebound. I definitely don't think RB should be higher than IS or ID, I'd rather have 18 ID and 14 RB, than 16 ID and 16 RB.

No need to push range, no need to train PA until he is 26+! Study your team. The rest should be your decision.

I wholeheartedly agree and my line of thought is that you should punt some skills and had the others at elite level. So to me a guy with 9/18/13/18 or 20/20/11/6 are more appealing than a 15/15/14/13 player (secondaries being equal). It requires a bit more strategy and effort in getting and using pieces that fit together so that you can hide the lower level skills.

Why is OD so important for PF, what about having low OD?

Because other top Power Forwards will almost certainly have higher JS/JR. If a PF has low OD, he is a basically a Center and will get torched on outside shots by his opponents. If you look at all the PF builds that people are suggesting, nearly all of them have a decent amount of JS/JR for their PFs, which is why OD is also needed. OD is one skill that you can almost never have too much of in my opinion.
