I would train both of them. The first needs lots of 1v1 training, as well as some PA, while the second guy is more well rounded and 1v1 training would help to raise his pitiful (2) HA.

Since you are the only human in your league, you could train guard skills like OD and PA without too many consequences. The best time to train secondaries on players is in D5. If you want, you can BB Mail me and I can give you more detailed instructions. Good luck, and don't forget to build your arena!

Thank you!

I agree with Big Dogs.
You could get them pretty nicely built up with 1on1 Fwds.
I'd train Passing for a while as well, as it'll be nice to have them as slick passing big men.
It's cool how they already are at average in OD. Pop them to Respectable or Strong and then they'll be a flexible defender later in their careers.

I can't bother to read through your wall of text, but I don't agree. While his TSP isn't good, he's got a plenty of OD,JS,JR and primary skills. Driving, handling and passing are trained much faster.

I wouldn't call two big men whose JR combine to 6 as having "plenty" of JR.

I got him through the training simulator, here's what I got by training until and including the 27th year

14/8
8/10
10/11
11/8
18/14
13/14

That's a hell of a PF only 192k salary. This guy would be a beast

He does have "plenty" of skills, considering his low TSP and advanced age. But he also has fixable holes, and nice height.

Read my previous post(it's short and to the point LOL) What I'm saying this guy is not as bad as he seems. I've seen worse players, but who look better than this one. This guy is gold in disguise of fools gold.
