since this thread was highjacked again, at least i want to answer your entering question.

i'm with most of the others. sf should be able to guard both defensive ends, but od seems to be more important in general.
you say you play 2-3 most games. - why? do you adapt your defensive system to your opponents offense or do you just want to go for the rebounds?

if u really want to play a 2-3 because you think the opponent has his strengh inside, i would recommend sf's id-lvl should not be much worse than the id of pf and c. an awful id player will not help much guarding a driving guard or a posting frontcourt.
surely, the zone has the advantage, that the other two (or four) can help a weaker defender better than in m2m, but still the game is matchup based. maybe it needs some timeouts, but the opponent will still try to create a shot vs the weekest defender/ for his best matchup.

Your right about the topic. I would say that if you want to have a SF that you can start in just about any situation, then you have to have good OD and ID. If not, then you will have to have an outside SF and an inside SF. Those are easier to train up.

So I guess I would say if you want one good SF to be your guy then you need to have good defense for inside/out. I would try to have both at lvl 8 or above depending on how strong your league is.

personally i make the difference betwenn outside and inside SF in the offense, because a specialised offense could be very powerful but in defence is is often difficult to predict how the opponent plays - and if your inside SF also scoring wise inside(else i don't see the easier to train aspect) you'll run often in the best defenciv part of the opponent if you could predict it pre game.

PS: And you need normally a backup who fit, and if he don't fit in defence he get's punished a backup who doesn't fit in offence isn't that bad.

But a PF needs more inside skills than a SF

but the outside skills for a pF could be trained as a PF, in my eyes OD 7 even for a high class PF and this is possible with the rigth selection of trainees ;) And then you also got the possibility to make 1-2 Weeks without big problems out of Position trainign each season, thats different to 10+ weeks with SF.

You need to play the PF outside to train OD and you can use your SF prospect in the scrimmages and cup games.

as i said you don't need it necessary ;) Od 7 is enough for an PF in my eyes(i currently play with one who had 4, and normally controls high class opposition), so buy a trainee who fit to your targets. And 1-2 weeks, of of position training are normally pretty easy each season(i often used the offseason or ASD for it), without screwing your chanches in Championship or cup.

So you don't need to play your PF out of position or just in scrimmages or cup.

If you play Run And Gun your PF has to have decent Range and like a SF he needs Passing, I Think that the Forwards are the hardest position to train. A PF with low OD isn't very good for those Power Forwards who just have Jumpshot.

The ideal PF should have at least prolific OD imo. It will allow him to guard against strong shooting offences(motion, R and G). To train a big guy to that level is time consuming but well worth it. It is no different than trying to train a SF in ID, it takes time but pays off.
