Well, I see the problem that they are not really fitting together. Size-related you have a PF, and two SF (potentially outside SF). In addition you have two Allstars and one Superstar. So, I would suggest to focus on the 18y old superstar and make a nice PF out of him. The others can "swim" with him a bit until they reach their skill targets.

Ya, that's what I'm thinking as well, but that PF seems more of a SF to me than PF at this moment. That Superstar is my biggest priority. Also, I heard it was better to train outside skills first when they're young, so perhaps I should be turning him into a outside big, because of cross effect?

It is always better to start with the opposite training. So big players should start with guard-training and Guards with big man training, in case you want to build player that needs from both.

Your superstar is just 18, he can be what ever you want to train him, the skills are quiet balanced. But from his size, he is more a PF than a SF. So you can expect, that training his outside skills will take some time. And this is where the other two trainees can participate.

I would suggest training inside Defense for now until you figure out how you plan to train. Looks like you're training them to be small forwards? So you really can't go wrong no matter what you train.

It depends on what position you envision your two players being. My main focus would be the 18yr old HOF and then have your second rookie join in the training.

For me, I would say a mix of pressure training for outside defense and inside shot/defense.

Not really looking for advice as won't focus on training for next 2 seasons, but send me a link regardless
