I'm not going to sell the first guy(specifically because he grabbed 23 boards in his first game). Just tell me how to train them.

First guy is a keeper. I would train passing up to average and then switch off training the defenses until both are at at least respectable. That would be a good start. As for the 2nd guy... Sell him if you can. The awful rebounding sucks a lot and his potential isn't great either. If you can't sell him I would just bring him along for the ride with your other trainee and get him some OD training but he will never be a good rebounder.

Does the first guy have to be a SF? I'm okay with it, I just wanted a good PF/C duo.

6'8" is on the shorter end for a PF but you could if you wanted to. I still think e second guy is a bit useless though due to how terrible his rebounding is. If you do want to make the first guy a PF then I would still get his secondaries down first to create a more well rounded player.
