I agree. Free IS is a problem. I mean, last year's winner of BB has PG with IS>PA. How ridicolous is that?

Russel Westbruk ? :)

Thanks. It is rare to find teams with higher SB. Interesting you also have Ferkaluk who is a lower SB, so we can compare and see how your other players have higher SB average, about 1~1.5 more average blocks a game.

Things we could look at in detail with your team~

break down by opponent team IS rating (too hard to get specific DR/IS skills of opponent players, so must use relative team ratings) and flow ratings, then by position how well the high SB vs. low SB holds back opponent scoring per position, overall scoring, shot selection, and just shooting % of opponent.

1 block a game is not enough IMO to justify the massive raise in salary that 15 SB vs. 8 SB causes, BUT we might see some impacts to shooting %, shot selection and so forth of opponent to justify the higher SBs.

What I am looking for is high SB, low ID.

Also it is important to know the OD of these players. If all 3 are about the same OD, then I do not need to know, but if one or another has much higher OD, then obviously this is a big factor in why he may do better on defence. OD may even lead to more blocks (because it leads to shots being pressured/covered vs. completely open/assisted). Maybe not the OD of the C per se, but the team OD ratings etc.

If we go to the federation

There should be some links for tools from breaking down game and shots by shot type, so we can see specifically performance of SB player vs. putbacks, inside shots, layups etc. vs. 3 pointers or jumpshots etc.....and we can see if your bigs are blocking any shots, deflecting or harrying guards etc.

BTW, what is the SB of the rest of your team? Guards, SFs etc? I have high SB guards/SFs (relative to the norm) so I see them rotating to block shots and/or blocking shots of their own opponent...I think this also plays a factor perhaps in how important or maybe how often the bigs would be rotating or getting SBs against guards...
