Alright I need some advice for these two trainees ive been training for about 1 1/2 season. One of the biggest mistakes I made when I first joined this game was get low potential trainees and now I have hit a problem. 2 out of my 3 trainees probably are going to cap sometime this season, I just want to know what I should pop because I know they each probably have a 3-5 pops left if im lucky.
Here they are.

I know they dont have the best secondary skills, they were my first trainees and now I know what I really need from my future trainees.

You should look at Josef-Ka's formula to see how close they are to capping, but they should be close

Secondaries give smaller contributions to the "total", so you can still try and train them

No sorry maybe I wasnt clear, Im trying to ask like what you guys think i should train, like what do you think they are lacking in so i can get them before they cap.

For the first one I think you can reach these skills before you experience cap. If you train 1 skill on 1 position for 4 weeks and he didn't pop, he is capped.

Age: 20
Height: 6'11" / 211 cm
Potential: 5

Jump Shot: 6 Jump Range: 2
Outside Def.: 1>>2 Handling: 6
Driving: 1>>5 Passing: 4>>7
Inside Shot: 10>>12 Inside Def.: 11
Rebounding: 13 Shot Blocking: 5>>7

I give these skills based on josef ka's potential formula...
The second player is closer to capping but I'm sure he can reach these skills...

Age: 21
Height: 7'0" / 213 cm
Potential: star

Jump Shot: 3 Jump Range: 1>>2
Outside Def.: 6 Handling: 6
Driving: 4>>5 Passing: 2>>7
Inside Shot: 12 Inside Def.: 12
Rebounding: 11 Shot Blocking: 6>>7

If you manage to train them so they reach these skills, they'll be well rounded and they would definitely reach their full potential. Not to mention they'll be beasts in play and worthy if/when you decide to sell them.

Sorry, I didn't read a part of your post, so I misunderstood what you were asking. I more or less agree with what ibarix told you to aim at. You should try training driving for forwards. It will help boost the atrocious driving one of them has, plus boost other secondaries. It is easier to train because you don't have to plug the guys at PG or SG. Disagreeing with ibarix, I would stay away from the shotblocking. It will take you much closer to the cap, and I would rather use these last pops in other skills

oh yeah its going to be really hard to get the passing prob the rest of this season, and im prob going to lose half my games
