I'd train one on one rather than JS, it gives you all the jump shot you need. If you train pure JS than it inflates JS past the others skills once you try to pop his driving.

Any suggestions on how to train these two together. Jacob is obviously my primary trainee and look for him to be a solid SF. I think he has a real shot at U21 and also NT. Just looking for a little guidance.

Kris has 13 pops this season :)

Well that's because you're doing all or almost all 1v1 forwards. I used to do a lot of that myself, but then I decided to try to get serious about training a U21 player with Len Smiley and Billy Ray Gansler, and I realized that just doing 1v1 was a bad idea. It's pretty widely agreed that 1v1 forwards gives the most pops, but if you're serious about building a U21 or NT player doing a lot of 1v1 forwards will never get you there. You need to do things like defense, passing, rebounding. I would forget about 1v1 and work on his primaries for the rest of this season and next season for sure.

I want make him PF for your national team, so he needs very good handling and driving. Next season i train his inside skills and outside defence.
