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.

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?


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

After all that, he only got to 45 minutes at PG.

So I guess I go JS guards, after all. This is frustrating to me.

Well then I'm glad I offered my disclaimer.
