I got a guy last year at the end of season off transfer market. A PF with these stats...8.5k salary a week by the way with these stats. Can he become a match up nightmare in division 5 at multiple positions ?


Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: prominent
Driving: sensational Passing: pitiful
Inside Shot: prolific Inside Def.: mediocre
Rebounding: average Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: inept Free Throw: strong
Experience: mediocre

Now I know his defense is blah. But can I potentially play him at 4 positions, sg,sf,pf, and c. I was thinking some games at SG or maybe even PG despite his shitty passing. But he has nice driving and handling, so maybe some games at sg. Or do you think he would be most effective as a PF. He put up some good numbers when I used the look inside or inside isolation. Trying to base my offense around him. I have another PF with prominent ID, much better than his, so I was thinking of moving the guys stats I just posted to SF or SG. Good idea?

the way he looks now, he's an inside SF/PF. I would probably play him at PF most of the time, or SF with inside tactics. Depending on which position you train and whether you want to trin him further (in which case you should improve his defense).

Oh, and he'll be hard to defend, but you'll somehow need to hide him on defense. Even rookies will score enough on him to render his offensive proficiency meaningless.

Here is my guy, Spasoje Šcepanovic (4386863).

Similar to your guy, but with a slightly better js. He tore it up scoring wise, top scorer 2 years in a row. He even outscored 40k a week guys. A defensive liabilty now I am in D2, but still scored 18 points a game for me last season. Short term I think he could be great for you in D5, and will still score for you in D4, but his defence is a liability which means he will probably only be a great bench player once you promote.

Thanks for the advice. My only worry is that he is my ONLY true offensive threat...and I'm going to have to maintain his game shape which means some games he probably will have to come off the bench...like if I have a few games in a week...I can't start him in all...because his GS would decrease...wouldn't it?...so in the games I dont give him alot of minutes my team is going to to be about as offensively effective as Butler in the championship game....So my solution I guess is getting a similar threat off the transfer list...that way my team won't suffer the games he doesn't play. any suggestions on balancing minutes? thanks..i'm new so I appreciate all the help. :)

if you have a good backup for him, you can have your guy start twice and play about 30-36 MPG, which should be OK for your league games. Just don't play him in your scrimmages or cup games and you'll probably well off offensively.

Also, good ball movement helps even if the offense isn't that strong... so if his replacement is a better passer, you'll get more open looks for your other guys.
