These players are all black holes on offense. The only way to limit the damage is to make them into a PG and hope they don't shoot (so I would really go for someone with starting 1 DR and never ever train DR or HA). However training a 140 TSP player against elastics is pure fantasy.

I trained a big man with almost 130 and 66 inside skills and with 12 IS and 13 PA he was a huge problem on offense. I've seen players with 19/21 ID/SB in the EBBL and they did not stop top big men. In fact too high OD may even force more inside shots which have a more efficient baseline even against elite defense.

I wish. Made him in BM.

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

Even if this is true, would it not then still be a benefit, and thus not useless, to have higher SB with the good ID to stop the few shots that get past the ID strength?

Awesome information, thanks for this.

My training plan is nearly identical to your guy. No shooting capability but high defense and PA. I have two guys currently in the training plan.

So here's the one question I have with this type of player - did you use him in zones?

This thread isn’t about how many skills you can pack into an efficient beast. It’s about a defensive monster. Less blocked shots doesn’t mean he was useless. His high ID meant less opponents attacking him, but in those fewer instances the SB was handy.
