Hey guys. For this season and last season my offensive flow has been struggling because ive been using a SG as my PG so at the end of this season (according to my calculations and depending on how well i do in the cup) I will have somewhere around 400-550$ to buy a great PG with. I will be trying to get a Pg in the 15k-25k range. What should i look for when buying one?

Do I look for younger players with not as good skills that I could train or look for a 26-28 year old PG with great talent and experience?

Also what main skills should i look for my PG to have other then handling passing and outside D?

Finally what ranges should i be looking for for each category? ...

Outside D: prominent-sensational?
Handling: prominent-prolific?
Passing: prolific-tremendous?

Let me know what you think and if you have a good PG show me what his age and skill-sets are please.

The skills you introduced were kinda difficult to be found with the money you posses.Maybe looking for someone less talented would be more logical and feasible.

Ive actually been watching some transfer listed players with those general skill-sets and I could get lucky. These were two players that is around those ranges that sold for prices i could afford.

Player 1:

age: 26
salary: 16 458
Passing: prominent
outside D: prolific
handling: prolific
Jump shot: proficient
Jump range: proficient

Sold for: 516 200

Player 2:

age: 27
salary: 17 219
Passing: prominent
outside D: sensational
handling: prominent
Jump shot: prolific
Jump range: strong

Sold for: 532 100

So its still possible that I could get someone like this especially if its at the end of the season.

I'm monitoring the transfer market cause I need a PG in that salary range and I doubt you'll find a PG in that salary range with that budget of yours. Aim lower salary range.

For the skills, passing, outside defense and handling come first. Then driving, jump shot and jump range. Just my opinion.

Would this be a sufficient PG? Right now he's my SF but i could always buy a SF instead and move him to PG.

Weekly salary: $ 9 925
Role: regular starter
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 28100
Age: 26
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: mediocre
Jump Shot: prolific Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: average Handling: prominent
Driving: proficient Passing: strong
Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: strong Free Throw: prolific

Experience: mediocre

the only thing that I notice is that his outside D is way too low but what do you think?

he's an ok PG on offense, but with his Passing, OD and JR all relatively low, I'd rather see him somewhere else. If you find a SG with high inside shooting and OD, you might consider him though, as he might be a better SF on offense while allowing your guy to play SF on defense, where his shortcomings are less likely to be exposed.
