The answer is yes.

If one of them is suitable for SF depends on their skillset. Despite the same training they aren't identical I guess.

Or you can put two of them to starting line a the third will be backup for both PG and SG.

I do believe that's possible. But first you have to define what do you mean with "inside" guards, they have IS, IS+ID or even some RB?

If all of them are inside oriented in terms of IS, playing LI/LP won't be a problem. If IS in the designed SF isn't so high (considering the potential opponent's ID at SF) I would love him to have a lot of passing to avoid tough shots, but you'll definitely take advantage of others skill at PG/SG.

If they lack of interior defense AND rebouding, it's going to be a challenge defensively. Playing a 3-2 if they are really low in RB will put you in the position of needing big men very very talented in ID/RB (and their salary...). If at least one of them possess a good ID, I would play m2m, switching defensive assignments if necessary.

If they are all round players (IS/ID/RB), I don't know why you asked that question


By the way I don't think you'll have lots of problem. Of course I would buy big men accordingly to the real needs

I don’t think he is concerned about the training plan. His question, as I intended, was concerning the presence of 3 guards in the lineup once finished

How much do you care about results right now? And what's their potential?

If they have a high potential (9+) I'll try to fix the interior skills as soon as possible, before the combination of age+height will be hard to fight. By the way, it won't be "competitive" in the short term If i were you I'll train 1vs1 wings until HN 15, then IS/ID/RB until your personal target, starting OD/PA/JS later. This is something possible only with high potential and a medium/long term project due to obvious reasons.


Otherwise, assuming potential 7 (8 is a little bit in the middle), I won't train inside skills directly (just IS in case). At least, I won't do that if you plan to have anyway good levels of JS/OD/PA due to cap reason. I'll train them as wings in all 1vs1/JS training weeks to acquire some IS, hoping the 2nd player will reach ID 10+ during OD cycles. In that case though, their lack of RB will cost you in terms of big men

Very nice players for their age. I guess the third one can become a good SF if you manage to give him more IS and especially ID aside from the guards' skills.
