So I've managed to buy a 6'3 pg with HOF potential, but the problem is I already have a decent 20 yr old pg as a starter. I think the 6'3 pg can play as an SG in the game, however I'm wondering how will it work if I have pg is played as a sg? Will he still get the pg training (I'm only training one position)? Can I also get a 6'5 pg and play him as a sf this way, and train three starters using just one position training?

No, to get one-position PG training, he needs to play 48+ minutes at the PG position. Yor PG starter might play as SG though - or you decide to play your new guy in scrimmages and Cup matches only.

There are 3 games a week. Make sure you play your trainee at 48 minutes (list him at all 3 spots in the rotation)at PG during the cup game. When you're out of the Cup, make sure you schedule a scrimmage every week and play him at 48 minutes against that team.

And actually, if you're doing single position training, I would suggest getting 1-2 more solid guard trainees and also play them at PG. Then play the PG you like as the starting SG. This will maximize your training routines.

Read the manual to learn about game shape too. You shouldn't be playing this starting PG as the starter 3 times a week or he's simply going to get progressively worse as the season wears on due to overuse. You only want to play him a total of 48-75 minutes a week.
