But if you want to do one-on-one training, which is a pretty effective method of training, you can train up to 6 players (although I wouldn't expect to get 48 minutes on that sixth player).

I often have 2 primary trainees and a couple of players, usually older players, who I'd like to get some additional training. When I do one-on-one I usually try to get all of them some training.

I have 3 18 y/o's as my main trainees this season as I've run 1v1 Forwards all year. They have 12 12 and 14 pops each. I slide a veteran into the training spots also to get some additional training. My team has 54 pops on the year and looks a lot better than when the year began. If you can grab 1 or 2 guys for next year and do a season of 1v1 then that will benefit them all.

KHenry thank you. That's what I was asking of the benefits of 1on1 training because it seems to pop in driving handling and js as well as long range and inside offense. Correct? ?? I've done it a couple of times this season and had a bunch of pops. Also, probably a stupid question but what do u mean u had 12 12 and 14 pops? Is that a total of pops by the 3 trainees this season using 1on1 training?

1v1 Forwards will give you pops in HA DR predominantly then IS JS and cross-training to random skills. I meant by 12 12 and 14 that trainee A has 12 pops for the season, trainee B 12 pops, and trainee C 14 pops. All using 1v1 training.

KHenry. .. that is so awesome I appreciate this valuable information... That is a lot of Pops man. I'll be doing this type of training for a while now and especially with my new guys once to draft takes place... and probably continue it with my trainees I'm working out now because they'll only be 19 next season... And I also have a couple that are 20.

Thanks Dross....I've heard that as well reading other forums. I don't understand it but I'll get it eventually lol

IF you want to prioritize training, you could aim for a 6-man rotation with 1on1 for forwards.

Select (up to) 8 players for each game, ON SF- and PF-positions you set 2 of your TO:s to starter, backup and reserve. The other positions have one player as starter and a second player as backup and reserve.
You must select "Strictly Follow Depth Chart".
By doing this, you maximize your chance of getting 48min on your TO:s. No guarantee thou, they could foul out/injure them selfs. Coach can even yank them in a blowout or when he feels like it =) But usually it works out fine.
You could let your best TO:s(preferably PG,SG or C) double as a backup+reserve in another game, utilizing his skills in more than one game a week.

If you do this, you probably need a Center that do not require training, to start your leaguegames at C-spot for you, with your (two best inside)TO:s as backup+reserve in one game each.

Optimal/Minimal roster: 2 starting Guards, 1 starting C, 6 TO:s (4 who can double as backup guards, 2 as backup C), 2 backup guards and 1 C for cup/scrimmages(all play 48min). Total: 12 players.

Happy training!
