I often find myself struggling over the SF position the most in setting up my depth chart. The thing about SF's is that you're always training them either as a guard or a PF/C, so they're never playing their position.

What, then, do you use for a Small Forward?

I've been tinkering around with different formations of guards, both point and shooting, with up and down results. I've considered picking up another SF off of the Transfer list, but it seems that there's not really that many good ones out there -- and if they are, they're horribly expensive.

Am I better off sticking with just using the SF position like another Guard position? Perhaps am I better having a SG/PG available for use in 3-2 or 1-3-1 type sets... and another PF available for 2-3?

Many thanks for any advice.

Not that I'm an expert, but that's exactly what I do. I don't even have a single "Small Forward" on my roster any more.

You can use the SF in any guards position but you can't use a playmaker as SF cause the SF must be the "most complete" player you've in roster. I prefer to play in attack so for me my SF must be more js than od but there are a lot of people thath thinks that defense is much more important than attack. Anyway an SF should be also have a decent skill in ID, passage and handing ball.

Well, I play him quite differently.

I see him as the most important player on the team,
And he has to be the only player that is lets say "a multiskiller"
Because very often he makes the difference between me and my oponent,

But what happen if you like to play 3-2 and insidefocus?

and even if you play a zone, the insdide def is important imho

for you small forward trainers.

I was thinking of training inside shot for the next 2-3 weeks. Is the training significantly quicker just training C/PF than training SF/C/PF?

I was going to train C/SF/PF just to get more players out there but not if training is significantly slower. (Level 7 trainer)

I could probably squeeze the main trainees in C/PF but I would prefer to train some others too.

I trained inside shot for 2 weeks and had 3 pops per week training only power forward and center, and trained inside shot 1 week and had only one pop when training small , power forwards and center. Coach level 8.
I don't think it's worth training three positions together, so I changed it.
