I completely disagree about SB and ID. Exact opposite opinion, and I am not budging on this.
I see excellent results with proper development of SB in new GE. OD is a must for this to work though. I think people often are looking at high SB with crummy pressure, that is bad all the way around.
With high pressure high SB is the solution for the inside attack, and much much cheaper IMO (depending on position of course.)
We shall see, as I have several SFs coming up and all of them have excellent SB and only 1 has SB under ID.
I'm all in on SB for PF/C positions, but not SF/SG/PG
I think ID is still a stronger skill than SB, so for guard/Sf position it's better to have ID, since they have similar impact to salary.
SF needs a lot of skills, and you can hardly make a top end SF without at least 130,140 skills. So I would rather improve other things, SB 8-9 should be enough.
My own sf I trained, doesn't follow my own advice, but that's because he's a low salary guy.

Try to make some models in salary calculator, there just isn't enough skills to pump SB of a SF model. I'm fine with some 8-10.
