Outside shooting is Jump Range but of course they each train the other (jump shot being the other) as a secondary, just at a significantly reduced pace.

Pressure trains OD.

I always thought it was kind of backwards to have verbatim training options and descriptions for others.

The problem, at least for me, is that without a JS he can't really play SG or SF and probably not PG either. So is he better than any of your front court players?

I don't know what kind of cash you've got, but I would hope you could afford a little bit better. His ID is pretty poor...

Ultimately, the distribution of skills is more important than potential (which only matters at the highest level). I got a great power forward prospect in the draft -- unfortunately he was only 6'0". Wasn't really worth training because of that.

This is about as good as you can expect in BB (at least in the US forum). Just not alot of chatter going on.


So why don't we change that, starting with me?

Gotta have something interesting to bring about interest as well. Currently you are just cruising along.

Sounds like a sign and trade is in order. ;-)

I guess I'll attempt to move him in the off season.

Given that I'll be training my PG's in single player training. I'll need a SG.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around what I can only classify as the Multi-skill vs Mono-skill.

Is there value in this game for the Monoskilled players? In other words, if I've got a SG who can shoot lights out and a PF who can rebound like Dennis Rodman used to rebound will they play better/the same/worse as a team than a group of more mediocre but well rounded players?

After another blowout in league play tonight, I'm left with a dilemma.

My #2 PG only has 39 minutes at PG. What can I do to safely make sure he gets the 9 minutes he needs to get to 48 minutes without killing him in the scrimmage?

Right now, I have him listed as the only back up and I am planning on suiting up 6 players for the scrimmage.

Is this wise?

If you play him as the second string and play strictly follow depth chart he will get at least 9 minutes barring injury or foul trouble.

To start, it's not a good idea to have any players that can't defend at their respective positions. For a guard, any really low (1-3-ish) guard skills (JS/JR/OD/HA/PA/Dr) will likely be an issue at some point, and same for pf/c (IS/ID/RB, jury's still out on SB).

If youre going to build a team that only attacks inside, its not a huge deal to have really good shooting guards. But even then it helps, as teams will always go 2-3 and having guard that can shoot a little will really help. Likewise for a team that almost always plays outside. Inside scoring for your bigs is still nice to have, at least some of, to make the 1-3-1 def pay a little inside.

Then again, ive always tried to build a balanced team, while you can be successful building a team that much stronger outside or inside.

I come loaded with a natural bias against venturing into Global forums on any discussion board. ;-)

But I'll take a gander
