So I'm wondering if you have a SG with really high IS, how often will he take inside shots in LI?

The reason I ask is I'm looking at a promotion to D.IV, and I have a guy like this: 11/9/9/12/12/3 11/4/6/4. Currently he plays SF for me, but the 4 ID makes me reluctant to play him there in D.IV. So I wanted to play him at SG, but I'm not sure if the IS would be wasted there. Would his IS make him a huge mismatch against most D.IV shooting guards, or would it just be wasted there? Should I just play him at SF and just switch the defensive tactics instead?

I thought of that. It works fine (my starting SG has 7 ID) but my backup SG position is kind of up in the air right now, so I don't know what that will look like. The other thing is I was hoping this guy at SF instead: 10/8/8/10/12/5/10/5/6/8 Right now he plays PF but 5 ID is NOT going to cut it for a D.V PF, no matter how good his offense may be. So that's also part of the reason I wanted to play the first guy at SG, so I could play him at SF and just use the promotion money to pick up a more traditional PF. Thoughts on that?

Personally, when i have inside based sf i try to play low post. Since in LP sf is more important than in LI. in Li all they do is cutting to baskets, probably taking most of the shots as jumpshots from mid-close range. But in LP it seem sf uses to post sometimes.

I would definitely give it a try playing him at SG. The combination of driving and IS should allow him to exploid weak ID on guards.
I am running LI myself and am looking for a SG that can score by taking it to the hoop.

You should try and see. Sounds good, with LI or rng. IS or blocking on guards can give a real boost for your team. For instance, I have a pg on the top ten of my league in blocks, and was once one block away of the quadruple-double.

If you wanna know now, try a site like www.buzzer-manager.com, that suggests the possible rating of every player in your squad on every position...
