So, any thoughts?

If I were you, I might sell Goff, since his HA is only at pitiful. Plus, his IS/ID is a pain in the butt. If you decide to keep him, I would make him the 3rd trainee.

This week is only a 2-game week, and they are all draftees, so unfortunately, the most effective training for multiple players would be to play one guy at PG and another at SG for 48 minutes in your scrimmage on Thursday. You can decide if you want to train 1v1 Guards or Jump Shot for Guards.

Training Plan

Train OD until they are all at 8 or 9
Train 1v1 Guards to raise HA/DR to 7 or 8
Train PA until they pop to 8

These are basic goals I am suggesting, and you can specify them to your liking. Good luck training them.

If you don't have any trainees already, they all look like pretty good trainees for a D V team (I realize the first guy is 19, but his skills aren't bad). I would recommend training OD until 9-10. If any foul outs occur, you should go with 1v1 because their handling and driving is kind of low. Their passing and jump range are pretty good for their age, but you should train them up a little bit too.

Honestly, I would just try to single position train them at PG for as long as possible in Outside D and Passing with the occasional 1v1 guards if you get the minutes wrong.

edit: looking at them again, I would recommend a little bit of 1v1 forwards to get that handling and driving up. It also has the added boost of some inside shot training.
