My only assertion was that IS is highly underrated for SFs


Possibly.


and it is one of the core skills for that positioin.


Again, this one really depends on too many things. I personally put jump shot, outside defense and inside defense as the core skills to the position. But really, on a high level SF it would be ideal to have everything. So I guess it really depends on your definition of "core".

the sf-position is tricky.

'core' for me are both outside- and inside d, jumpshot and rebounding. i disagree with steve_karren here. the reboundskill has nothing to do with outside or inside focus in my opinion since is mostly a defense-skill.

offensively i'm with HeadPaperPusher. depending on your tactics you should choose to ad either some range or some insideshot.

a sf with a balanced skillset will help you to switch offensive focus BUT if your opponent is right with his tactical choices your balanced sf could have a hard time to win his matchup versus a specialized guy.

to answer the first post: hard to say. for me both, inside d and rebounding are important. i would try to balance your team out. if your bigmen suffer in rebounding they should be lucky if the sf (and the rest of the team) can contribute, if they suffer in inside-d, they should be lucky if the sf can roll over for a helpdefense

(25780057) - a example how useful Rebounding could be at SF, i really dominated my opponent under the basket which makes my win possible ;) Ok in this case he also have lots of ID(he missed OD a bit).

The same opponent dominated me during the league game under the basket (23028825), when you watch at the off rebs he got against my man to man defence(my offense rebounds are caused from his weird defence)

you also learned of my game the week before vs the same opponent (25766649) this was a rebounding nightmare...
Bucianskis vs Sopar is a nice rebounding matchup for your favor. Distler had to hustle vs Gonzales, Krauss-Maffei and Mastorosa when he played Look Inside. No Chance ;-)

sry for ot btw

for me it isn't OT i think both games could show, that the influenced from the SF for the RB is quite strong, even when in your case even the dominance from him under the basket play a role.

PS. i was forced to play like that, because of my GS so i didn't learn ;) Even when i like to try this tactical move, after my last PL games.

Yes, against a SG who probably has very little rebounding.

I agree that rebounding is important for a SF and I should have mentioned it before. But I got bogged down in the "inside shot is king on a SF" topic. However, I think you only need just enough, I would not go overboard. Because once rebounding is close enough to your opponent on your PG/SG/SF, the rebounding battle is really between the PFs and Cs.

Not only that, but as jbmcrock has taught me, rebounding is expensive on a SF. You start going over prominent-prolific and you will have trouble affording your other players.

no against with the second most games at the german nationalteam at this position ;) or maybe third must, he could rebound i could promise you that. Maybe not that high but around 9 it is.

if you had it on sf, your c could have a bit less on it ;) And honestly the salaries increase it not close to the salary increase a center got.

i am pretty sure lost both matchups there ;)

Are you talking about this guy: (2221843)? He is averaging 1.1 offensive and 4.3 total rebounds on the season. My PG with respectable rebounding did better than that last season, playing PG. This guy seems to play SF often enough, so he should get more chances at rebounds. He has 6 RB max, probably even lower.

but your pg haven't that good rebounder by his side, and for me rebounding isn't a poor matchup thing - and he usually averages more then 5 each season ;)

Pretty sure he had 8/9 when i was in the NT staff.

I still don't believe it, unless you just had really good dice rolls for this game. Wendon has 10 rebounding and his averages this season in France pro A are: 2.5 9.6 offensive/total. The only time you see a SF get shut out like that is if the guy on the other side is completely dominant over him. Something like 12 vs 5 rebounding or 14 vs 6-7.

Once you get 14 vs 10 or 15 vs 11, for example, the match-up starts to even out again and the rebounds will be basically split between the SFs.

Even if it was 16 vs 9, I would still expect at least 1 offensive rebound for every 2 that you got at the SF position. Although, this also assumes that you did not beat him in rebounding at the PF and C positions. But if you did, why are we focusing on the SF so much?

I think that in a R&G a Sf is more important than in a motion offense,because while in R&G only guards and Sf take the main part of the shots,in a motion offense also the PF take a lot of shots


I disagree. The furthest I will go is that the SF is just as important in a run and gun as in a motion. However, yes indeed, if your SF has bad passing and handling, they will do much better in a run and gun setting.

In a well made R&G you have only three main offensive options,in a motion offense you have four main options(including PF).If your Sf fails in a motion attack you are in a slightly better situation that if the Sf fails in a R&G,because you could have more options in attack to make up your offensive situation
Surely Sf is fundamental in both the tactics,but is more fundamental in a R&G
