Those are two very fine youngsters!
Regarding player #1, I'd say it depends on what your team needs. You can easily go for PG, SG or a combo guard.
Player #2 could be a great SG or SF. Hes already got a good starting level of rebounding; inside shooting and defense are also well above average already.

Here are my two trainees:

I am going to train ID this week, then maybe go back to IS. Do you guys think that Boswell can reach 11/11/11/6 and ALexander can reach 10/10/10/8 by the first week of Season 21?

Well I normally do not ask others for their input but I am curious what other BB'ers think I should do with this player. He has the potential to become a very solid guard or could be trained to be a talented SF. The SF route will require a bit more work but may be the better option long term.

Thoughts?

In my opinion, he looks like a decent guard for an inside offense. I would go with the SF route because 1) He would be a better all-around player (I am the type that values secondaries on all my players), 2) He would be very cost-effective, and 3) He would be more efficient against most SGs and against SFs that cannot defend from the outside. His height would be a bit of a factor, of course, but I still think that it is worth it.

Inside Def.: mediocre

A little late at age 23 to train OD up to excellent SF standards?

I'd go guard.
