And that's the point, I think, of making choices like in the real world. Players can't be perfect at all of his skills.
You have to choose the most important skills, for you, your future, your team..

So, for some teams SB is worth it, for some teams it isn't.

I haven't researched it yet, I am busy with it ;)
Within a season or 2-3, I can give you a detailed rapport.

But, sorry for going "offtopic", about talking how important SB is. I'lll shut my mouth ;)

When I run into an invisible spider web, I instantly become a kung-fu master.

Of course, my main point is more that Cs are more expensive than guards and I really do not see the reason for it.

But if you want to debate the usefulness of SB, we can do it. If it is as I described above (and how I understood the post from Charles on it), I suspect that we will continue to see a general lack of Cs with shot blocking.

I think the major issue most of the managers have with shotblocking is that it is an "invisible" skill as the output does not differ much for players with low or high blocking skills - instead you clearly see the better production you can achieve with a player who is trained in IS or Reb.

Also it is quite unimportant which position a player play for blocked shots - my best blocker was a SG, he even holds the record for blocked shots in my old league. thats not realistic, something has to be tweaked there too, imo shotblocking could be a perfect skill for guards if there is no difference in blocking outside or inside attempts.

It does not take away that the topicstarter has a point, that inside salaries are too high and a 'solution' is needed.

I debated the solution he offered however, he is right something needs to be done.
