I dunno if this was brought up or not, but I think certain players should be added to have certain specialties. Just like in hattrick, some players could have special abilities that would help their team. I have a few ideas and feedback is welcomed:

Clutch Shooter - A player that has the ability to make a shot in the clutch. Able to make long distance shots with more ease.

Board Banger - A player that is able to grab rebounds a little bit more effectively.

Quick - Players that have quick speed, and able to start fast breaks.

Technical - A player that has honed their skills to make them a technical passer. Weather it's threading needle like passes, lob passes or no look passes.

Powerful - A player that has the body frame of a tank. Able to drive to the basket with more ease.

There is no real need to copy Hattrick just because. Most of the effects you suggest can be attained currently by just training your players in particular skills: jump range, rebounding, passing, driving.

You're right about that for the most part. I didn't mean for BB to copy Hattrick in anyway, but i'm looking at it from a real life prespective. Every team has that one clutch guy to take a buzzerbeater shot. Jordan for example. I'd just like to see some type of player specialties to make things diffrent. If they arn't skill based, that's fine. Perhaps something maybe.
