well, if a coach wants to play without PG and PF, and wants to play 2 SG and 2 C, then who will say he will do a bad thing?

Maybe in the NBA they should try to play a team like this: 1PG , 2SG and 2C for outside oriented teams, and 2PG and 3C for inside oriented teams.
I wonder what would happen. :รพ

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Every player on the floor is equally capable of lighting it up on any given night. Factors effect his performance obviously, but just because he is a pg doesn't mean he can't score (look at Chris Paul, or Mike Bibby) some are offensively challenged ( like Jason Kidd or my own teams Mate Mistic) but don't let the pg fool you. ( Look at my team, everyone (except Mate of course) usually has at least ten points and rarely has over 25. The other pg usually has at least 20)

I doubt that is going to happen lol. That would totally beat the purpose of having forwards. But I don't see much purpose of forwards in the real game except to have them play both inside and outside (eg. SF plays outside on a 3-2 Zone D but plays outside on a 2-3 Zone D and PF stands inline with the SG and SF for 1-3-1). But still I don't think it is possible to play without a player with the role of PG because PGs are suppose to start the play. But still I don't quite like the prospect of them shooting so much. It makes them look like a second SG or something.



Perhaps we are all missing certain ingredients of differences in skill levels that mean the GE still feels that PG's are better positioned to shoot?

Perhaps we need Legendary JS on our SG and Legendary passing on our PG (with awful JS) to make sure he has no option but to pass it?!

well, I like PGs who go for the shot when they are left open.

If my opponent's coach is stupid enough to tell his players my PG is only for passing the ball, and thus can play double defense on my other players, then my PG is free to go for it himself.

Last few games I played my SG at PG. He simply has his PG skills as high as my regular PG, and his JS is way up high. As expected he did shoot a lot, and he also scored most points. Should I have put him at SG, it would probably be the same, except that now, I had an other scoring machine extra in the game on my SG position.
It's all about what you want you players to do.

I also somethimes play with 3 centers when I play inside offense. It didn't make me look bad.
