I agree in everything you say, my point was just about getting a better Offensive Flow, and the original poster's 2 players.

Am I the only one that thinks that IS isn't that important for SF?

Yes,you are
You can put in some games a player without IS in the SF position,but you can't call that player a SF

As I don't agree at all with the portuguese user,I think your affirmation is not completely right.Every excess is wrong,especially talking about Sfs that are the symbols of the balance and equilibrium
You are not completely wrong,but it depends from the kind of SF you are talking about

I dont agree with looking at game ratings. As there are many factors that create a game rating for a player. I believe I have one of the best SF's and his game rating is lower when playing the SF position on my team compared to the national team. Its due to the talent of the other players, enthusiasm, stamina, GS etc.

I agree with everything else though.

To the OP, i built my SF with more emphasis on ID than rebounding. That was good, but for a great SF but they both need to be at a high level. Looking at your two players though I would go with player one at SF and player two at SG. Thats just my preference.

I second this.

J-Dog pretty much has one of the best SF's around.

I built my SF/PF from inside first, so he's more an inside SF or really well rounded PF.

ID is more important than RB, just for the sake of versatility. You find teams sometimes play a Look Inside using a PF at SF. This can really gimp your team if you need to shift a big to eliminate the mismatch, cause let's face it, most guards can't guard a big.

With a SF with ID and OD, you never have to shift your game plan away from your strengths, as the SF can always guard what's thrown at him.

Rebounding is handy to have on any player though.

well said!

When I saw your SF in the trainee's thread i was like damn, got serious competition. Lol

You don't need to worry, Direwolf told me to make him a NT PF instead :)

J-Dog is right,you should not care about SF rating,while it can give you some idea on the secondary skills of the SFs(inside SF without passing skills has much lower rating than a Sf with passing skills,also if passing is not a so important skill)

I think people really never understood what a SF entails. A SF is an inside/outside hybrid. Even if your team favors an outside or an inside attack, you can't completely neglect one facet of their core skills just like you don't neglect the passing or ballhandling of a SG or the rebounding of a big man. People just have this idea that SFs are jump shooting guards with a little better inside skills, that really isn't true at all.

I completely agree

P.S. 9 in driving for an inside SF is a great value.I know very well Papalia's history,because he was the best of the world for his age when he was younger and was in the U21 when he was 20 while my player was fighting to enter in the same season under 21(he was 21),and I can say you that he started with very bad skills in driving,passing and bad in JR,but our NT staff find problems to sustain his training so they decided to work a lot on driving

P.P.S. I had at the same time in my league my player that I yet show you(strater in spanish I division),a former Sf of the italian Nt team stronger than the mine(Ardoino),an awesome 40k Sf that was only -9 in the first six skills to my player(Mir),and a 80k guard that plays in SF position... and I'm only in a III division
