If 2-3 defense depended only on one specially trained player, more people would try it. What about SB on PF? And more important, what about ID on guards? How can you develop complete guards when you have to spend a lot of time on their ID?

I'm trying to build a team that can defend well Look inside...if it happens that my players will be able to do that via 2-3 zone, so be it. But for now it's M2M only.

Or do you think that the traditional builds of each player is the best build for any offense?

No, I think traditional builds of each player is the best build for neutral offenses. LI and LP are most efficient tactics right now (% of FG is highest among tactics), so I see a lot of PGs built solely for inside offenses and same for SGs and SFs. I guess LI and LP player's builds cost less as opposed to Motion or Princeton (JR) because Driving is so cheap and JR is so expensive.

I know that if you build your players for Princeton, you will have big salaries on guards and small salaries on bigs - kinda the opposite of Look inside and Low post. If only OD wouldn't be so overtrained...

And it's sad that, despite stopping them both, OD is cheaper than JR or PA.

A lot of ID on three outside players. At least 10 on PG, 12 on SG and 15 on SF (SF wouldn't be a problem because I'm training it as a PF with good OD, and SG is already training along). Some shotblocking on SF. A lot of ID, RB and SB on PF and C; to avoid big salary, keep the IS to medium levels and boost alternative offensive skills on bigs: DR+JS on PF and PA+JS on C. At least 12 OD on PF to make him get at least a couple of steals per game and to be able to play 3-2 if necessary. I know it takes a lot of time to build good ID on outside players, but I will sacrifice a bit of OD training in favour of ID because 1.: nobody wants to train JR since it's expensive and it's easily stopped by globaly overtrained OD and 2.: PA is undertrained. Btw, I'll try to train PA on my future PG up to Legendary to compensate for lack of IS on inside players.

At first I didn't want to come out with my plan, but:

1. Maybe it's not good and I will fail
2. Maybe it's good, but nobody will take it seriously
3. Maybe it's good and some of you will take it seriously, but by the time I'll be playing in B3, you will all forget about this post.
4. Maybe it's good and somebody will try to copy me. By the time I came to the end of that sentence, I just smiled and shook my head.

I edited the previous post a bit, so you might want to check it again ;)

It's a 6-8 season's time project. Polh will be my SG, Anžic SF and Kacil PF. Polh will cap in three seasons which is the time to give Anžic and Kacil majority of inside training; along the way, I'll try to buy a 21-23y old C with good inside abilities and boost his RB and JS. When I'm done, I'll buy a HoF PG; along him, the now 22-24y old C will train 1 on 1 and PA for at least two seasons. Then when said PG will be finished, it's time to bring down the house

Ok, so maybe it's 10 season's time project...I hope BB is not going anywhere. I know I'm not

Ill add your team to my bookmarks and keep an eye on how it comes along.

It will be very boring for at least 6 seasons...nothing but trainnig and promotion to D.I somewhere along. Oh, and cup at least once.
