Good point, but why the guards doesnt need good offensive flow to go? Its enough to have great guard shooters to win games, but the opposite doesnt work? why? have you seen any team in real life having success without there big men to be able to pass? and if big men need good passing why not be able to train it? (please dont tell me about team training) Do you know how hard is to find a good passing guards out there? Do you know that is way easier to find shooters? and of course way cheaper.

Those are some facts that are making outside attacks much easier to built.

and if big men need good passing why not be able to train it?

I actually had a problem- I wanted to train my PF and also my PG. I thougt, that I will train passing. So, I played my two league games normally, and on scrimmage I played PF 48min on PG position. Hopefully, tomorrow morning both of them will pop. That shows actually, that you don't have to be farm team, crazy, or something else to train passing for big men. In fact, training it is quite simple. And if you're in cup, then you will have to choose a game, where you can blowout your opponent, and play your big men as guards there. It shouldn't be hard for you, or is it?

As Mav fav you consider Harris as a good PG? If yes then i can understand why you think that Parker is great 1 too. As a Mav fun you should know what is great PG. You had for several years the 2 times MVP, and now you have 1 of the best ever even if he is on his last days of his career. Deron? Paul? Those are great PG's not Parker. Even Rondo is better passing guard than him. Better player? Hardly. Do you think that Rose is great PG? he can drive at will but what about his court vision?

Parker is more product of the system than anything else. What he can do great? drive to the lane and use his unstoppable floater, using his quickness. Is he a great passing G? No. Just check his stats. Is he getting better? for sure thats why he can shoot some mid range shots. Parker will start fading away as soon as his athleticism dismiss. AI anyone?

Why Nash is playing at his 35 like an MVP? because he has great skills, 3pt shooting/passing/court vision. Qualities that will be there even when he will be 40.

What if you are training solely big men? (something that the majority is doing. Chose training positions and stick on them. What deference will make if i take my C from 1 skill at passing to 2? About cup. Just check my schedule. I had 2 strong games on the same week for the championship. Then cup game against CBBA team. Guess what? ive lost the cup game because i tried to give the proper training minutes to my players. Tell me again if its easy.

Handling for my big men its not a problem, and i am always finding time to train JS. Actually 4 of my 5 trainees have at least 7 on JS, with higher going to 10. I dont consider that as a problem. I can accept that JS is very important and i will find a way to train it. What about passing?

If you're training solely big men, then you have to play two games in week, with inapproriate positions:D You don't have to make a 22-0 season, or do you? And if you take your big men to level two, it might be useless, but what BBs should do about it? Make your C passing respectable? And about the cup. Again, do you want a 22-0 season? Plus now you can have scrimmages, what will make training even easier.

Solid but not great. The argument here is: How many PG's have won it all being the best player of there respective teams? of course you need solid to very good PG. Basketball its a team game. Thats how Tim won it all.

Nash indeed is not great on D, but from 1 side is not so bad either. Also Parker is not considered as a great one either.
