I know. ;) and I had him in my bookmarks for 2 seasons. and when he hit the transfer list and I had the money... ;)
our Varakis has almost the same skills like Sutherland with 21y. Sutherland was a kind of a blue print for Varakis. unfortunatly it's harder on the U21 level... just take a look at Latvija and their 3 bigs. you can't stop them with only one such player.

I don't think its impossible to run a good outside team. But it does take awhile to find the right players.

Excellent jump shooters with handling and driving that have an OK range and passing...these types of players seem to do OK in Run N Gun.

Finding specialist rebounders is not a problem.

The biggest issue is finding specialist defenders/shot blockers in the post position.

But getting the other pieces of the puzzle is fine enough to run a good outside team. They can compete against LI teams...but will not likely be as salary efficient overall. Close though and its worth it IMO as the players cost less IMO to buy.

This isn't a GE problem, its an opportunity for good managers and trainers to make money in building players that the market is lacking.

Make JR and SB cheaper. So teams can afford to make perimeter shots and defend the rim. Right now IS and OD are dominating, leading to tons of LI/M2M cookie cutter teams.

its not foolish at all if you have the right game shape with good inside defenders with outside defense. 3- 2 is good if you have the defender with sb and ID , it also protect the outside shooting. So I dis- agree

It can work but your going need the sb and inside defense and gameshape. I would get rid of one of them it defeats the purpose of low post tactic. The majority of the players on the market are low post player/li players,.. Show us how many teams have Princeton skilled based teams or 1-2-1 box defenses.. Not many know how to run that ,if they do they are not telling.. Not many teams have 17 sb or even 15sb with players. I had one of player since start of season 16 his sb is 11..

IT really is a waste of time training sb because it takes to long to train, it can helps but at same time its takes a long expensive effort.. Its easier to build low post/Li players than build a jump shooter. This why they game is going in that favor because it easy to do and none understand those other tactics to play because there is no forum help for these other tactics. When some comes out and say this is how you run this othr tactic.. it becomes show me your proof and your team is not the truth for all?. But 100% accuratcy they can tell how to run lp /li even the managers in 5 league, but 1 cant tell how to 1-2-1 zone or Princeton in the nbba or w/e, if they do it become show me your proof. The your team is not truth for all.. it kills that argument right there.

Its like some dont want a to answer for these LI/low post teams or tactics. The owners will not make it harder to train low post/Li player or get rid one of them or the tactics.

I highly doubt anything will happen or it will happen because this is what supporters are really paying for. This is what is keeping the game afloat. This why I think the owners of the game just increased sb and not scale back LI/lowpost/ The best thing to do was just that.

Just please stop giving advice.

3- 2 is good if you have the defender with sb and ID

Wrong. You are still not going to stop an efficient LI team.

1-2-1 box defenses.. Not many know how to run that

Amazingly, correct. Only because nobody knows how to run a 1-2-1 because it doesn't exist.

IT really is a waste of time training sb because it takes to long to train

Wrong. It's actually one of the faster things to train, people just don't do it.

it will happen because this is what supporters are really paying for

Wrong. People get supporter for a number of reasons, none of which are what you said in the above blather.

A 3-2 against an LI can work if the team running LI doesn't have good ball skills - if you can force enough turnovers and pressure the passing lanes. But if they do have those skills, they'll slice right through the 3-2.

Or some of us don't want to just use the game's balance issues as an excuse for not being able to succeed and are taking our own approach. And heck, I don't even have SB on the guys I'm training. I suppose some people are only capable of trying to follow someone else's path to success, but nobody is going to try something until it's proven it'll never get tried.

1-2-1 does exist on the game is called 2-3 zone. The 5th man being the trap man, 3-2 zone is about the same. 3-2 zone is called 1-1-2. do you understand.

sb is a waste freaking time to honest, way to expensive little to no results. Managers don't do it .? why?? because it waste of freaking time, too expensive takes to long to get results. Get that point in your skull!!.. It doesn't not help, never has helped, this is the only season they tried to make it help and it still not helping unless you get a player 16+sb or play a weak team... show us who has that 16sb. Little to none has that. So before you open our mouth on sb learned I trained it since season 16. Its way to dam expensive and all 3-4 of my big men have 11, 13, 13, 14 in sb and we still get crushed by look inside.. You cant tell me nothing about sb. !! I train it with no immunity season before the game even said let increase shot block.. now they want to increase it .. ill say.. What the hell for? why not decrease Look inside so team can use other tactics and compete.? More better players on the market for all tactic not just 2.

Supporter for private is biggest perk on this game and look inside and that's about all. If they change LI or get rid of it. A up roar will happen . 8/10 team that play a week are using li or low post.

Why complicate things by saying 1-2-1, if you really mean 2-3? 2-3 is the common basketball term used by most in this game and in real life.

Did any of us create that flaw. A lot just used it to better their team.. ok sure. .

Whats best way to play this game. Li or low post.. IF that is the case then erase the other tactics.. what the hell you need them for.?? what good is a jump shooter when 60-80% of the market is made toward one tactic o r2 ways of play?

Your saying it not a problem. I'll say get for real hurley// seriously get for real.!! because it is huge problem and owners know it is. Instead scale it back, they upgraded sb.

For what its worth I do have a player with 17 ID and 16 SB
Figured him as a non scoring - defending stopper
haven't made up my mind yet
The one game I needed him was the only one he fouled out of after 31 minutes
