3/5 of my starters have strong stamina(8). Is this enough to efficiently run ptb? Everyone elses stamina is lower. Or base offense seems better?

Your passing levels aren't that bad for D5. Replace your PF with a better passer and it might become a strength.

As for an offense? At first glance I should also suggest LI but experiment a little bit and you'll probably get your answer.

Inside shooting would be your best bet..

Just thought I'd follow up considering the advice I have received. Now we only have played two games, but its interesting results none the less.
Game 1. (59344678)
Against a weaker team,so my team converted about as well as expected for d5. PTB looked well getting my main scorers the ball and giving my PF his looks that make him play efficiently. Foreshadowing, check out Cardwell, my back up SF going 1-11 in only 18 minutes.

Game 2. (59344686)
I changed to outside iso and was playing my rival, and a better rank then me. This resulted in my SG getting plenty of looks to miss with. Again my PF had an efficient game, except his lack of rebounding which I expect a double-double every game. Back to Cardwell, 7-13 in 11 minutes. He shot almost everytime he touched it. Aside from him, my team moved the ball pretty good almost giving my C a triple-double. At least for my next league game, I'll look into Out Iso again. I felt like it complemented my team well. Except for my wanna-be Carmelo backup SF I was happy with shooting distribution even though my teams shooting performance was sub-par for 3/5 starters.

13 shots in 11 minutes worries me. The previous game he went for 1-11. His off games are OFF and his on games are average. I just think it's silly to jack up every time he touches is. I will admit, he was a factor in my win, but its just disconcerting when he shoots more than a shot a minute. He had 3 assists in the 594 minutes he played last season. He does have 1 passing though.. hmm. O well.

Exactly. He can't pass. So its either a) shoot, regardless of whether its a good or bad choice, or b) try to pass and probably turn it over

Train his passing or get someone better balanced.

Kumiko, you know nothing. This is AMERICA where it is all about getting shots up and getting buckets! Stop trying to poison him with your silly Canadian friendliness of "passing".

He will continue to shoot at a high rate, because as mentioned already his passing is terrible. His game scores have been low which suggest that he has not been a great fit in your gameplans, and he doesn't seem to be able to do much besides shoot and grab a few boards each game.

You can either use his limited skillset in situations that warrant it or grab a more balanced SF. They can probably be found for under 20k at 3-3.5k salary. Because you're not gonna stop him from going rover. ;)

It didn't occur to me at first with bad passing comes high shooting. I don't want to spend money on a back-up sf in d5. I just noting his performances this season. It's funny in my opinion. If you go 1-11, at what point do you think you should just start attempting a pass instead?

At the same point shaq tries to draw a shooting foul rather than dunk....
