shotblocking isnt only just the blocks in a game but raises the possibility the opponent to shoot with defence and not a free shoot which has more chances to go in.

shotblocking also helps i think if someone uses zones like 3-2...some shotblocking can make the difference

i average 8 blocks the game, so the other makes -5? And i have just one blocker who is sligthly in the double figures.

Edit: sry 2, one have 10 since the beginning of these season, the other 11.

my team averages over 10 blocks per game as a team, and opposition shoots less than 30% against me. So what if my best Shotblocker has only 2.0 blocks per game

Blocking shots isn't just blocking. If it was. Dwight Howard would be a no name player comparitvely. "all he does is effect 3 shots a game" ....its much much more.

Maybe blocked shots only happen on your team 3 times a game because your team's SB sucks :P

Nah but seriously, I would read through the rest of this thread before you go making comments about something that has been previously stated and proven wrong with reliable examples a million times.

I'm still trying to figure out why I lost my last B3 match, and ironically I have very low SB, which resulted in 0 shot blocks during all match!!

however, I have monster ID, and obviously that doesn't seem to help that much..

I have been always skeptical to SB, but I should probably give it a shot now..

Well, it wasn't clear why you should have won it anyway.
Looking at game resume, it was close game. That's all.

Try SB for knowledge sake if that's ok for you.

Call me crazy but I want to try something new.

If I promote and if this post gets a hundred gazillion balls then I want to try building a team that the BB´s have suggested for a long time.

In other words I will devote a season in D2 to transforming my team into one that looks something like this*:

Guards

JS: Marvelous JR: Tremendous
OD: Wondrous HN: Tremendous
DR: Marvelous PS: Proficient
Mediocre secondaries

Estimated Cost: 60k

Bigs

JS: Respectable JR: Mediocre
OD: Mediocre HN: Mediocre
DR: Mediocre PS: Strong
IS: Mediocre** ID: Marvelous
RB: Wondrous SB: Wondrous

Estimated Cost: 38k

(I realize that a big like this is next to non existant, I will most likely train two bigs with this build.)

*I know my players won´t have these exact skills but this would be the model build and I would potentially have a team that could defend inside players rather well and (hopefully) be able to score from the outside. I would definitely post any findings as well as how it competes compared to my run of the mill LI/High OD team that I have right now.

** I am rather fuzzy on the value of the IS I would aim for, I´m open to suggestions

What say ye?
