The absence of capital letters or paragraphs makes me dizzy.

You definitely have the right attitude for a national team manager. Luckily for you, instead of searching through all these leagues for players, you can just join the offsite forum http://s3.zetaboards.com/BuzzerBeater_USA_NT/index/ and we have a database there that keeps track of the skills of all of these players (Although you can't see the name, but we got pipeline threads and stuff that will give you the names of the important people). Just register on there and message (28800) to confirm your account. This is where you can discuss tactics for games with other people. It's really handy for the manager and makes everything a lot easier. I hope you join, and good luck on your campaign!

So, one of the issues we've run into that everyone who is or will be running should be familiar with, is the relatively mediocre performance of Joe Bronson in big games. Which leads to my question:

Why hasn't Bronson played like the world class PG that he should be?

Are we just wrong in stating that he's been disappointing? Or is there something specific about his build that makes him underperform (in our usual LI)?

If the latter, do you think we need to re-evaluate how we select guards? Maybe more JS, or JR, or Dr, is *not* a good thing? Or, maybe we're prioritizing things incorrectly? What are your thoughts re: guards that fit our NT, given our experiences with Bronson, Nix, Frye, et al?

I mean I understand what you mean, I deffinitly expect more from him with those ratings its crazy with a dmi over 5 million he should be a top 5 pg in the world for sure, but if you look at his stats last season he gradually improved and at the end was playing very good ball so im hoping if i can get the job i will watch everyone but espicially him very very closely becuz im hoping he can keep the momentum and good playing he finished with and start like that this year !

My biggest beef with Bronson is not the low FG%, which is common among guards of in LI, but the high volume of shots. What I would like to know is this: Bronson takes more than twice as many shots as Nix (14.7 per game vs. 6.9). Those 7.8 shots are usually low percentage ones, so I wonder, when Nix plays are those extra shots any good or are they also crap, but tend to be taken by someone other than Nix?

Right, this is kind of what I was getting at. Basically, if you could, would you subtract, say, 5 JS from bronson's skills? (ignoring the ancillary effects on salary, and what that would do to his GS). Basically, would you trade a bit off the shooting % if it meant he also took fewer shots overall?

The reason I think this is relevant (beyond that fact that it's the strategy both of us employ on our club teams) is that it potentially changes the player pool, with guys like Selby, Kitchen (if he gets more OD) and McCullough then being more in the mix than they are now.
