I'm currently training my future SF and he currently has strong rebounding. My goal was for him to be capable of grabbing 6-7 boards a night, and maybe 10 on a really good night. How high would his rebounding need to be to accomplish this goal? I was currently thinking of training him until prominent, but I don't want to waste precious time if his current rebounding is high enough.

I think you're right! My current SF (who will shift over to SG when my trainee is ready) averages over 4 rebounds a night and he has awful rebounding.

I would say that rebounding at strong is quite enough for your level.

The number of boards he grabs will probably depend more on the individual match-ups and overall rebounding power of your team (i.e. rebounding level of your PF and C) than on raising his rebounding skill to 10. You can train his rebounds later (training is quite fast even at a more mature age) if you will feel that he's inadequate in this aspect (or, more likely, when you will have few more players that would need rebounding).


I disagree. Having him take 7-10 rebounds per game isn't just dependent on individual matchups and other team members. It's also impacted by team tactics and the strength of the opponents.

You're in Div III. I would expect Sensational Rebounding and no less imo.

Sensational rebounding for a SF? I wonder how high the potential cap must be in order to a decent SF be built with sensational rebounding. If you are talking about a Center, though, well, sensational looks adequate.

Well, I guess I'm lucky that I'm not in D.III.

Because my SF has nowhere near 12 in rebounding :(

Then again, that didn't feel like a problem even in B3 :?


Each to their own I guess.

You're in Div I...me, Div III...

...maybe I should defer to your great wisdom

There are users in D.III who know a lot about this game.

And there are D.I managers who are still clueless about many things.

So that doesn't tell the whole story in itself.

But I sincerely believe that 12 rebounding on SF for a D.III is overdoing things. Bigtime. There are certain more important skills for a good SF, and you need to first take care of those before raising rebounding to sensational. When his OD and JS are 16+ and IS and ID at 14+, maybe it makes sense (depending on the rest of your team) to eventually raise rebounding to that level. As Bernspin pointed out, RB eats away a lot of potential too, so you need at least MVP to achieve this levels. But that is not what I would call SF for D.III...


Yeah, fair call.

Rebounding also adds a lot to the salary of the players. It is often wise to train this skill at the end of the training career.

In my case, my three SF trainees are at 9, 8 and 7 rebounding while having a TSP of 122, 115 and 117. I plan to raise their rebounding by 2 or 3 skill points this season. I expect a raise in salary from 33k, 27k and 34k to 40-45k which is quite a lot for 2-3 more skills if you ask me.

I'm liking the dialogue I'm seeing in this forum. It appears a lot of people have a different opinion. Here's what I know: my current SF with awful rebounding averages about 4 rebounds per game and my PF with marvelous rebounding averages about 14 rebounds per game. Either way, everyone seems to agree that strong rebounding is high enough, for now at least. So I'll probably move to inside defense. I'd like to be done with his inside skills by the end of this season. He currently has strong inside shot, strong rebounding, and prominent defense. I think I'll train inside defense until sensational then push up his inside shot a little bit.
