hey smallfrie

Below is the list of my bigs and their attributes:

Francesco Razzante: OD: average
ID: prominent
SB: strong

Catello Brasini: OD: inept
ID: respectable
SB: strong

Unai Xaparrarte: OD: atrocious
ID: strong
SB: average

Team ID: (29823)

The last two guys are usually backups for my team but I currently do not have a starting PF. I am in league IV.9.

Hope this will help!

This sounds like a great study, as I too wonder if the SB skill is much more useful than the "Shots Blocked" stat reveals. It could be much more useful because a good shot blocker might alter a player's shots without actually blocking them or a good shot blocker might cause a player to pass up a shot he might otherwise take against a poor shot blocker.

I'll send you my info, but I'm curious if you'll try to adjust for the offensive opponents' abilities as well. For example, I play in D.V. (against bots no less), so very weak competition. I'd think even though my bigs don't have outstanding SB or ID, I'm still holding my opponents to a very low FG% because my opponents are awful. Do you think you'll be able to equalize for it because you'll have a large enough amount of data? My team's info might not be that useful, because my opponents are so weak, but I'd think there are a lot of teams with less drastic examples of opponents being outmatched, but where the data would still be skewed.

Just curious.

Thank you for your post.

Yes, I am splitting up the data by divisions. My goal is to not only find out how important SB really is, but also to see how much SB a player might really need in each division.

You wouldn't want bigs that are being trained, correct? Because their skills will be changing without you knowing, unless your expecting managers to be updating you every week.

No, I am not expecting bigs that are being trained in ID or SB. However, if you have a big that is being trained in IS then I will use him.

3 of the 4 bigs that I gave you will sometimes be trained in ID.
