I personally would recommend using Buzzer Manager (http://www.buzzer-manager.com/)
It helps with multiple aspects of the game and one of the features is a thing that calculates player potential cap and how much of their potential is used up, so thats a helpful tool. (I'm pretty sure its "legal" to use and is a ok third party website to use for BB, and its free)
For trainees I personally like to start with 18-19 yr old trainees with all star+ potential if you want to train high quality players. Acquiring these players (especially with higher potential is not too easy) either with lots of money off the transfer list, or get super lucky in the draft. but always just buying a well trained young player to train is always another option.
For training I would say to just focus on a certain position- so either guards or big men, since it is difficult to train both at the same time, unless u are training secondary skills for a potential national team level player. always try to do 1 position training as it is the most effective, 2 position training if you must and try to avoid 3 position training at all cost.
I personally won't bother training players with less then star-allstar potential because they will never become too good so it may not be worth the investment. Try too aim for 1-2 good players to train with all-star+ potential because the time invested in those players will be worth it.
I also prefer to train Canadian players because it benefits the country more, and if you stumble upon a good young Canadian player, I'm sure the U21 coach will tell you that you've got a good player that worth training and they will usually give more detailed advice for training.
Hope this helps!
