Which of these two players should play Center and which should play PF? One has better outside D which makes me want to play him at PF and because he has lower rebounding (a little too low for a big man i must admit) but he has better inside D...
The other player has worse outside D but better jumpshot and passing and handling... What do you guys think?

Player A:

Game Shape: respectable
Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: awful Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: inept
Inside Shot: prolific Inside Def.: sensational
Rebounding: prominent Shot Blocking: strong
Stamina: inept Free Throw: inept

Experience: average

Player B:


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

Experience: strong

Player A at center, player B at PF. Basically on outside skills, it's a toss-up. You would want more JS on your PF, which would indicate player A, but you'd also like more OD and JR, which would indicate player B. We could debate the importance of JS vs. the combination of higher OD/JR on PF, but let's move to inside skills for a tiebreaker. Player A has better inside skills (+1 IS, -1ID, +2REB) and those inside skills will be better used at center. Higher team ratings and overall, he should be better at C. And the JS won't be completely wasted there. At least, that's my reasoning. Feel free to disagree.

Player A pf on offense, and switch defensiv assigment to make him center in the d.
