Reduced minutes are for 27yo+ players, not relevant for young trainees. (granted 45min is enough for 18-19yo, but it only helps in rare situations where the GE decided to not follow the depth chart the last few minutes of a game for some obscure reason)
There are some training that are at 100% efficiency for 2 positions, like rebounding. If there is the choice of 1, 2 or 3 position training, like inside scoring, 2 pos would be less efficient than 1, and 3 less efficient than 2 obviously. Picking "alternative" positions just lowers the efficiency even more.
From experience, with 3 trainees it's already complicated to get 48min for each one every week. Fouls or injuries or simply the GE decided he had enough means you get a perfect 3x 48 only once every two weeks on average... Having two main trainee + a backup one destined to be a backup all his career is more manageable, and you're not to disappointed when the 3rd one doesn't get all of his minutes.
If you want to be somewhat competitive and your trainees are not starter-ready yet, 2 is already a challenge TBH.
Quality over quantity! Always ;)
