Skills which i ignore for a sf is useally blocking, maybe handling and driving could be a bit weaker then the rest.

But why is GM-BadLarry putting Handling and Driving for SF on second position?
Small Forward
(1) Jump Shot, Jump Range, Outside Defense
(2) Handling, Passing, Driving
(3) Inside Shot, Inside Defense
(4) Rebounding

I think both skills are impotante for SF, because they are kind of playmakers next to PG.
And therefor Handling and Driving are pretty usefull. At all when you play offence with an outside focus:
Handling: Allows the player to avoid losing the ball to the opposing defense while dribbling. Important against a pressing defense (to be added later) or, in general, against good perimeter defense. Teams with good handling will have more success at creating quality shot opportunities.

Driving is pretty much the same, just that propably it helps more the individual player than the team:
Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on averag

The list from GM Bad larry, is a piece of experience like mine ;) You could play your positions in different ways with succes, so i write my opion/experience with SF and you the one from Bad Larry.

I would probadly say if w are free to design a Forward with XY Skillpoints, everyone with looks pretty differnt without beeing a "bad player", in center or PG i would bet they look more similiar.

don't get us wrong. EVERY skill is important to SF. We just pointed out which where the least of the importants.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

No worries, i understand ;-) It´s just that in my opinion they are pretty usefull, because to me it seems that these are the primary skills to go against perimeter defence.
