Point guards seem to be the most expensive players in BB buying off the TL. It appears big men are a dime a dozen, but finding a point guard is like pulling teeth. Do any of you agree, and if so do you think this trend will continue?

PG's are one of the hardest positions to train and less people train them than big men thus I feel their prices are going to stay high for a long time. Especially because if more people are training big men they are all joining you on the transfer list trying to buy PG's. Less supply more demand = prices rise.

I train guards also because of the opposite. Guards are harder to buy and big men are cheap and plentiful. I don't get why more people don't train guards.

yes this trend will continue. If you want to train a center you don't need a lot of skills, is enough to have 3-4 skills, if you want to create a great PF the matter is completely different and imho this kind of players are the most expensive the only problem is that no one great PF is on the market now. Then if you want to find a shoter point guards you can easily find it and you don't have to spend a lot of money but if you want to buy a multiskilled playmaker, PG or SF yes you've to collect quite lot of money cause jr and od are the slower skills to be trained, cause you need to have also good secondary skills and because the salary of this kind of player is now around 100k/week against the 400k/week of the "best" centers on the TL.

PF's aren't too bad. A lot of the PF's on the market are a bit one dimensional and not excellent, but good enough to get you by.

However, I cannot find a single decent(8k minimum per week) distributor PG under a million dollars.
This is probably because I heard passing was the hardest skill to train in the game.

You must be joking about the passing bit, right? It is one of the fastest skills to train.

Anyhow, PGs are rare, every guard trainer seems to want to train SGs. However, the most rare is a well rounded SF.

Exactlly. That's why choose the "make your own SF, don't buy one" option.
