I want everyone to look at this: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/22793/players.aspx.

This is BB-Charle's team. He must of went bankrupt or something because everyone was listed for $0. Anyway if you take a good look at his team, you notice that there are 16 players with 8+ SB meaning he had to do multiple seasons of SB training. Why would a BB who helped build the game train SB this high on even guards if it was not worth it? If it was not worth training, he would be the guy to know and therefore probably would not have trained it at all. This is a rare look into the BB's mind which should not be ignored.



for me it looks more like that the next BB is leaving the titanic...........

i believe it is more a pure event, at least from the player maybe additional id from the real defender ;)

"you would prefer to have a better defence on 5-7 adversary shots,or have an additional 80k player to use in a game?


the think is, that SB work pretty hard when the dude decide to try it while ID have very low efficiency even when it works on more shots. Thats my point of view currently. So i am currently going more for SB and OD then on ID himself.*

* even when my roster is still more oldschool with few blocking, but at least i trained it 2 of my last 4-5 weeks.

Shouldn't a pure SB event occur only when appears on the play-by play history that a shot is blocked?

ID works on EVERY inside shot,while SB sometimes boost it.Without ID,you just don't have defense,and also SB would have less effect because when it works boost less defense
Boost defense on 5-7shots/game worth 30-40-50-60k(depending on the other big man skills)/player?

SB works less then ID, but when it is turned on it affect the prohability a lot depending on BBs so also an affective shot should most likely miss.
While i doubt the efficiency of ID, with the few but mostly high percentage shots the C takes atm. So i go more for the tool, which avoids then from time to time then something which have little effect on every shot.

But maybe high ID makes it also easier to block, is possible and would be against my future strategy.

When SB works well,you have a super defense BECAUSE SB and ID effects are combined.SB seems in your eyes more efficient than ID,because when SB work you have two skills(SB+ID) that work against adversary player,but when SB doesn't work,you have only ID agaist the adversary offensive player
SB seems to work more as higher is its level,but seems to work only in a limited portion of overall adversary shots even when it's at the highest level,and when the SB level becomes higher,training of the other skills,salary and potential are highly affected,so you have less IS/ID/REB(that work every action) for the same salary

Not exactly.If you have more SB and less ID you have much better defense in 25-30% of the shots and worse defense in 70-75% of the shots.It depends on how much better is the defense on those 25-30% of the shots and/or on how much worse is the defense on the remaining 70-75% of the shots

Could you please explain these numbers more or were your speculation?
I'm really interested in the diference between ID and SB on defense, especially in terms of affecting the other team offense.

He went bankrupt,this is the main fact.Grubbs has a 191k salary with 15 IS,16 ID,16 Reb and 15 SB.There is actually a player on the transfer market with 15 IS,16 ID and 16 Reb with 7 SB who has a 115k salary(and this player has better guard skills)

It's a 76k difference for 8 level in SB. 76k * 14 week in a season=1064k in a season!!!over 1M of difference.I think it makes the difference between going in bankrupt or have a solid economy

These are speculations,based on this (205736.150) when Gm-Crazyeye gave data about his best shot blocker,and here (205736.152) I make some assumptions,corrected after next Gm-CrazyEye post here (205736.154)

If someone has larger and better numbers,I would be happy too see them
