Yeah i agree i would start center a, because he has a better inside shot, his inside shot is strong while the other is respectable. And you need defense more importantly, and center a's inside defense is better than the other one as well.

Yes the 18 year old has better game shape, but are you worried about injuries? I was told that game shape doesn't make a difference, because any one can get injured. I'm wondering why would you be concerend about game shape?

I'm not worried about injuries. However, a player with proficient GS is usually quite a bit better than an equivalent player with respectable GS. For comparable players, I would go with DMI to determine who should start - it usually gives a good indication just how much the skills are boosted.

DMI is really useless when determining who is "the better player" for players who have vastly different skillsets though - it's a really rough measure. But when one is just a stronger, but out of shape version of the other, GS can help you determine who is stronger right now.

Or you could do the smart thing and play player A however many minutes he needs to improve his gameshape for the future. If that means starting him, start him, if not, then don't start him. Simple

I thought people don't underestimate game shape that much. By reading previous posts, I think I'm wrong.

Game shape is what matter the MOST in BB imo. Right after that, it's enthusiasm and choice of correct tactics.

I'd start the B player without any thinking.

Oh, and people also underestimate free throws. Both have it atawful, but B has better game shape; who do you think will miss more FTs?
