I got 1 Hall of Famer 6'0 height SG and 1 P-allstar 6'0 height SG and I had a reasonable trainee already for PG. So should I train 1position PG with them? The skills they came with are the following:

Bobby Onderwater
Salary 5441
Age 18
Height 6'0
Potential Hall of Famer

JS 7 JR 7
OD 5 HA 4
DR 1 PA 6
IS 3 ID 1
RB 7 SB 4
ST 5 FT 1

Jaap Oudman
Salary 4098
Age 19
Height 6'0
Potential P-Allstar

JS 7 JR 6
OD 7 HA 7
DR 7 PA 4
IS 6 ID 2
RB 1 SB 5
ST 5 FT 6

And I had one of my Originals who I have been training since I started playing halfway through last season

Hendrikus van den Bos
Salary 5625
Age 19
Height 6'5
Potential P-Allstar

JS 8 JR 6
OD 8 HA 7
DR 3 PA 8
IS 1 ID 8
RB 6 SB 6
ST 5 FT 4

Can anyone give me some advice please? Im not selling them, because I wanna go longterm with atleast Bobby Onderwater. I was thinking about doing PG 1position but somehow I find it hard to make three 48+ min how do I achieve that? Or should I just let Hendrikus play another position since he is a little bit too tall for a PG

Scrimmage every single week you aren't in the Cup and you can't care about the PG position basically. Each one plays the entire game each week and you'll train them just fine. You may want to start with Driving first for a few weeks at least since the trainee you have and the HoF guy both have piss poor Driving.

If I were you I'd toss Hendrikus though. He hasn't had much improvement, by the looks of it, and he'll be 20.

Maybe play Hendrikus van den Bos at Small Forward? Since I don't have any real SF. And just train these two draftees, starting with 1on1 training for a few weeks?

Unless you've got two other guys who could use the 1 on 1, I'd say you might prefer to go with pressure or passing for PG. The All-Star break is a good 2 position week (if you're out of the cup) and depending on where you finish you may have two game weeks in the offseason as well. Plus, 1 on 1 is always a good fallback if your minutes get screwed up in a normal training week.

I am not selling him;) I don't need to buy draftees and so don't really need to spend any extra cash this season. So all the money I have I can invest in building up my Arena. And my HoF guy will not be to expensive in 1 season I guess. Anyone agrees with me, that on the longterm its more profitable to keep the HoFer?

But the HoF guy really needs Driving, it's atrocious...
