Hey guys what are your opinions in shot-blocking ability? Does it contribute a lot in the team's defense in-paint? I am truly not impressed how a player with a top-notch SB but only avg like 1-2 blocks per game. It seems like they did some changes so a high SB doesn't make your salary sky-rocketing but still i doubt if it's useful in this game???

I honestly could not tell you. I do not think of it as a primary skill still, but I know lots of people do now

You have to believe in it for it to work.

by the same reasoning, an OD that results in only 1 or two steals a game is worthless, or perhaps, worth less. for some reason, most managers in this game find this statement ludicrous. i think the same thing when i see someone trashing SB.

i think the value of SB, in addition to the stat in the box score, is in the shots distorted or otherwise interfered with -- in other words, check out the other team's shooting percentage against a C (and of course other players) with a high SB -- i bet you will find their percentage is notably lower.

SB is not an end-all and be-all to a good team defense, but i do believe it is a very important component.

Lol, on the bright side my rival looks like they're having a fire sale.
