Largely forget about them. The balls tell you about the actual skills. The box scores may give you a few rough ideas of what the player may be like. In this case, player 1 is much better, b/c 5 ball-skills. Don't even consider a player with 2-ball skills unless you've interviewed him for some reason and he has high potential.

What the box score can be useful for is getting a rough idea of some key skills. For example, a guard with 8+ rebounds likely has high rebounding, a center w/ 0 assists and 7 turnovers likely has atrocious passing, a player with 20 minutes played likely has really low stamina, a player who commits 4-5 fouls is likely very aggressive. But even these aren't 100% accurate, so plenty of experienced managers will say forget the box score altogether.

6'10" PG can be a great SF candidate. You know he'll have solid outside skills, and if he has good secondary inside skills then you're in business. Definitely do not forget about him.

Thanks!

If he is a PG, will he always have the "PG"-trademark or can it change to e.g. SF?
And does it make a difference which official position a player is tagged with anyway?
