Well it's coming up to the end of my first full season and I have built a balanced team. What I am wondering should i continue to build a balanced team or is it better to create a team that is guard or big man based?

you should be defensiv stable, and you got be succesfull with all three ways offensiv ... But depends on your target i think a specialised team(outside r inside) is at least for the fight against relegation better, while it is harder to reach the overall level to compete with an balanced team.

The more balanced you are, the most difficult is to face you.
You should try to have to, maybe three great players to carry your team, and assemble the team according to that. What I suggest is not build it around two guards or a C and a PF. You should have two aove the average players as PG and PF or SG and C, so you may shift your offense according to the matchups.
It depends on a lot of factors, but balance is good. If you are too outside orieted,everyone will pla a 3-2 zonee and have an edge on your team.-

If I helped, let me know!

If your are going to base your teams on guards or big men I would suggest picking guards cause their salaries are less than big men. And there are less good guards on the TL than big men.

Yes, but right now big men are cheapers to buy..

My advice would be to pick a strength . . . and then train in the opposite direction. For example, try to get some inside players that are strong enough to play PF/C for two seasons; then draft a couple guards who you can focus your training on for two seasons. At the end of that two seasons, either sell the the guards for cash or keep them as your guards and switch to training bigs for a couple seasons.

I have found that the key to BB is having one area of strength on my team . . . then focusing my training on another area. That way I have a strength to turn to when I need to win a game . . . but my team is ALWAYS getting better because I am training areas where I don't have strong players.

I know that this is 'easier said than done' at first . . . but be patient and keep moving with a plan. The most damaging thing you can do is try to train too many players in a season. That is the best way to get several players minimally better, and no players significantly better. The MOST players you can train during a single season is 5 (and that is EXTREMELY rare). To do that, you would need to find 5 players that are young enough (younger than 22) with decent enough outside defense and passing so you could train guards or forwards 1v1 all season. But I would NOT recommend that for your team right now.

thanks

i am training 3 guards at the minute and my best player is my PF so my team ratings are equal both inside and outside because my C is mono-skilled as a rebounder so i will be looking to upgrade at the C with the promotion money i will be getting.
