What positon do you want to turn them into.
The first one is a PF but is the other a SG?

What are you smoking, the 2nd guy is 7'1" and has 10 ID and 8 RB.

They can be decent yes, if you train them properly they can start and later come of the bench for a good amount of seasons. You do need to ask yourself if you want to invest training time in guys that will never be real important to your team in the long run.

They can be awesome, and they are awesome for their age now. You just need to make them salary efficient, meaning, they need to have close salaries for each position, PG to center.

I suggest you spend the entire next season training jump range, timing is perfect.

I think they are an excellent start, and can definitely contribute to your team for a long time. Make them salary efficient like Aleksandar said, and you'll have very useful players. I trained a 19 yo guy for ~3 seasons and he still plays on my team.

Now, personally I wouldn't train JR on these guys, unless you're planning on being a big Princeton type team. Instead, I'd look for one higher potential trainee at the start of next season (p-allstar at least, preferably superstar or above), and plan your training around that. Spend the next season training single position stuff (like OD, PA, IS). So, your new trainee could be a future guard, SF, or another big.

At that point, these current guys stop being your main focus, but can be the 3rd and 4th trainees for training weeks of JS, One on One, and rebounding.

Aim for inside skills in the 12 range, and they can be very good D4 players, solid D3, and back up/cup guys in D2 (or you could sell one and pocket some money).

The first guy could be very good. A season of training od and a season of js would set him up well to be either a pg or sg with more training. Starting ft of 6 is a nice touch as well.

With the low starting handling and good starting driving and range I would probably go sg Personally. Will be a stud in the future either way.

woh, this is really a rare all around talent.

You could train, whatever you want, just make sure (with your other trainees), that you´ve got a long time plan. So it should be 3-4 Seasons outside skills, and then switsching to inside skills for another 3-4 season (or the other way around, depending on your other trainess). If you´ll do it like that, you´ll should have a NT SF...
