Just wondering, I suppose SG and SF would take most of the shots if I use "Motion" offense strategy.
(71938408) ... However, my PG and PF took most of the shots in this game. I also looked at the opponent's SG and SF, both were weaker at position rating (14.5 and 13.5 vs 15.0 and 17.5).
How could this happen? Is something wrong with my coach? To be honest, I expected my SG would make most of the shots before the game, as he is the strongest player in the starting lineup.

Remember that managers can cross match defenders as well. So every position doesn't have to defend at that position. (i.e. the SG could be assigned to the PG and vice versa).

This right here is a huge point to make. I know since the start of the season, I've been experimenting with this like crazy. It's how my. PG often lead my team in rebounds.

Manon,

I think you're being a little rude here, why not check you're facts before being such a naysayer?

He wasn't talking about playing motion, he was talking about playing his centre at PG but then setting him to guard there centre, so his PG grabbed a load of rebounds. Just like this game, where his PG leads the rebounding......

Many thanks, jb13fury; you caught my point completely. I've been rotating players' defensive setups a lot this season, and it's produced some interesting results, including:

Two seventeen-rebound games from a 6'0 player with inept rebounding playing PG out of nine appearances for my team this season, but playing PF on defense in those games.
Another 6'0 player with 4 games of ten or more rebounds in a row playing SG and PG with mediocre rebounding, rotating to PF on defense.
A 6'4 player who's played PG on offense and PF on defense all season (save for one game at SF), and has had less than ten rebounds only once all season, and is averaging 14.4 RPG in league and 13.7 overall.

This sort of performance is impressive to me, and I'm convinced that changing the defensive positions of players makes all the difference in the entire game.

Just as an FYI height does not have any in game effects. Height affects training speeds. Short players train guard skills faster, tall player train big skills faster.

Y, and to add ur Information: Players with low Rebounding defending PF may catch a lot of Rebounds against weak teams (look at my Utopian team), but u´ll get trouble with strong opponents, having 10+-Rebound. Ur player maybe still´ll catch more rebounds than his skill would suggest, though u´ll loose the Rebound-Matchup. Condensed: Defense-position has high influence in Rebounds grabbed, but only skill leads u to the victory in Rebound-Matchup.
