I'd been looking for a small forward that i can afford forever, never found one appropriate for less than millions (which i can't afford).

I used to use the Look Inside offense, as my center and PF are very good for my league. Till recently i read that this goes through the Small Forward a lot. My small forward has great defense and inside skills, but hardly any handling, shooting, and passing.

Should i just use base offense?

My PF and SG are pretty good, nothing amazing. SG passing is lower than it should be.

Well try and snab a SF from the draft, or you can use Low Post if you want the SF to be less involved.

In div. 5 you don't need a great player to play SF. I had this guy start for me in Canada's div. 4 and 3 and he still plays some minutes for me and does just fine:


Weekly salary: $ 4 425

DMI: 17700
Age: 30
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: strong

Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: average Handling: inept
Driving: average Passing: respectable
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: pitiful Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: respectable

Experience: inept

His estimated transfer value is $2,000 - $20,000 which is probably a bit low but you can certainly find similar players for under 300k (even better players).

I bought a small forward for under 200k in the beginning of the season. Also in division 5, his stats are good, but his numbers are down. Any help?

Its funny seeing all these Div IV and Div V teams saying they have decent sfs and then they post absolute trash. average JS with awful JR is not good enough to "knock down a jumper" honestly. You guys can get away with it in these low leagues, but don't think those are good players, you will need to upgrade to get to higher divisions. Not trying to be so negative, just trying to tell you guys that the sf postion becomes more and more important to have a quality player playing it the higher division you get in.

got him at 300k i think. with 8k salary he is dominating the Div 2 league, one of the leading scorer, really clutch as well, i remember him taking 5 straight 3pts in the last quarter just to win a game from deficit.

NOTE!!! this player is in div 2.

you don't need a super high salary for SF, they tend to be pretty good at low salary.

any comment on the playing style that would minimize small forward? Low post?

i know i don't need a superstar, i had an older player i traded away earlier in the season when i upgraded some trainees. I just was playing look inside and then read somewhere that goes heavily through small forward. Looking for advice on how to minimize him in the flow of the offense.
