SB 2 20!

I have interesting stats from last World Championships. Quick review and it becomes obvious why Poland won tittle.

In columns: Team, Game Played, Blocks (total), Blocks (average per match).

TEAM    	GP	BL	AV/M

Poland  	11	38	3,5
United States	10	28	2,8
China   	 9	16	1,8
Uruguay 	 9	15	1,7
Chile   	11	18	1,6
Italia  	10	14	1,4
España  	 9	10	1,1
Canada  	 5	 5	1,0
Australia	 9	 8	0,9
Philippines	 5	 3	0,6
Misr    	 5	 1	0,2
Al Maghrib	 5	 1	0,2

layups are easier to block. But since more is better SB is great for SF

that is interesting but to be meaningful u would also have to add up the other stats

maybe poland had more shot blocks

but if they also had more rebounds, assists, steals and better fg% then what do u conclude?

I would love to train my guards in shot blocking until proficient or prominent but I'm too lazy for it.

i have a pg with mediocre in blocks n hes averaging 2.4 a game n is top 5 in our league in that category by looking at that i would say its not bad to have since im pretty sure it doesnt effect a guards salary

I often wonder why training shot block increases the salary of big-men significantly compared to the guards. I think that shot block is applicable to players at any position. For big-men, maybe block lay-ups and inside shots, and for guards, they can block the jump shots. Why should a big-man have a better shot blocking than a guard? (obviously not that they shouldn't, but just my point of view).

you can block both shots, but it is much easier to block layups and especially in the help defense in the post you did it often.
