Avoid team training. Very inefficient. Also, try to train 6 guys in anything other than jump shot, rebound, or one on one, is also very inefficient. You'll spend a lot of time making mediocre players.

focus your training on 1 player. maybe your "Star" player. "franchise" player. if you dont have one then buy one. or maybe you'll get your luck on the draft. you can buy your supporting cast in the market for your roster. it's hard here in BB to train your whole team and expect it to be the A team you wanted it to be. like Grabby said "you'll spend a lot of time making mediocre players"

There's no need to only train one player when you can definitely train two with one position training. Perhaps even a third if you schedule scrimmages and game plan accordingly. Training only one player at a time would also be inefficient.

Inefficient but eminently easier.

It depends if your trainee is able to play in the relevant position for meaningful games. If not then you can only really use the backup time plus scrimmage time to train. Or if you are cool to throw games by playing guys wherever suits your training, 2 guys is easy and 3 is doable most weeks.

Personally I like to train 2 guys single position when I can - 1 guy who can start in the training position and one guy who is the backup and starter for scrimmage. This makes minute management pretty easy.

Im also training 2 players in 1 pos training. Briones and Lim.

I'm trying to get a feel for each training type, with the goal of identifying what's the best, or most....economical, the most bang for buck, so to speak. What's most or least effecient. I'm thinking of centering my training on my 6 best guys, but I'd like to supplement that with regular team training. Then occasionally I'd like to drop a team training on them too. I'm currently trying to feel my weaknesses.

If you're determined to try something "outside the box" you could look at something like this:

Week 1: Train: A, B, C, D, E, F Sit: G
Week 2: Train: G, C, D, E, F, F Sit: A
Week 3: Train: A, G, C, D, E, F Sit: B
Week 4: Train: A, B, G, D, E, F Sit: C
Week 5: Train: A, B, C, G, E, F Sit: D
Week 6: Train: A, B, C, D, G, F Sit: E
Week 7: Train: A, B, C, D, E, G Sit: F
...Repeat cycle...

This is a two-postion training program for 7 players, each player misses 2 trainings a season. So after 7 seasons, they would be 1 full season behind in development compared to a 6 player two-position program.

Possible benefits would be:
injury insurance, if one guy goes down then you just keep training the 6 healthy guys
more managable salaries due to slower training speed
depth, you can focus on buying players for 1-3 positions, your trainees can eat up minutes as backups in non-training positions in addition to their full 48 in training positions

Disclaimer: Might be a terrible idea, might be better with 4 players in one-position training, etc. I'll echo what others have said, I really don't think you'll be happy with the results of combo three-position/team training, but I have no experience to back that statement up with, either.
