I totally agree
salary is not a measure... I've had people play against me with SG worth 23k+ that had only jump shot idk, tremendous or higher and no defense, def was around average... and my 11k prominent def players ate them and scored a lot...
without seeing the stats this thing is impossible since secondary stats aren't taken that much into consideration when salary is calculated and they play a big role, and some primary stats also weigh less on the salary but are really important in the matches...
