I'm going to build off of this if you guys don't mind.

I have a SF I really want to train without doing 3 position training. Is the only effective way to improve him... by giving him minutes in other positions throughout the week?

Yes. Aim for 1 position training if possible.

Yeah exactly if you train a bigman at a guard position it will affect training speed because shorter guys play guard not taller ones. So I said height affects training speed, I just didn't say it directly.

If my SF plays in games as a SF, do those minutes carry over into another position? For example

35 min in one game
35 in another
10 in scrimmage as PF.......is that enough for the training. Or does that only count as 10 minutes total?

Am I making sense in this post?

If you are only training the PF position, the minutes at SF will not count.

If you go to your team page, click on the drop-down menu. And then look at "weekly stats". (Alternatively you can go to "Set your lineup!" and click on "weekly player statistics" underneath the roster information.) This page will show you who got minutes at which positions. Use this information to help you decide which training regimen to use. If you train 2-position training for PF/C then only minutes played at those positions will count for the 48 minutes you need to get the full training effects. So, in the situation you describe (assuming your SF only played at SF in the first 2 games), 2-position training for PF/C will only get your player 10 minutes of training.

If I had to choose, I would go with the first one, but it is not that simple. Do you want an inside-oriented, outside-oriented or balanced SF?

Would a SF with high IS/OD or high JS/ID create such mismatch or is it not that simple?

well if you're just looking to create the biggest possible offensive mismatch at SF...
you can use a PF or C with good OD for inside scoring.
or you can use an SG with good ID for outside scoring.

Yeah, I was thinking more that a good, well rounded SF has good JS/DR/IS, so that regardless of what type of defender is on him (a guard-like SF, or a big-like SF), he'll have a good shot to take.

Of course on defense, a good SF is gonna need both high OD and ID, to defend whomever he's matched up on.

Throw in the fact that good PA is important for all players, and you start to see why it's so hard to train well rounded SFs. They need just about every skill.
