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.

i don't think od is essential for your pf. if my opponents pf wants to shoot from outside, i want to let him do it, because if he misses, he is weak on the offensive rebound and the ball is mine. my pfs are 2-3 on od, and still haven't been killed by opponents pfs outside game. the only thing i am afraid of is the mismatch on pick and roll, where he is left against pg or sg...which can be neutralised by a zone anyway.

p.s. i really hope i'm right, because training my pfs in od would be a torture for me

i think every rebound is "the same" in buzzerbeater, you had to watch who get the rebound after missed free throws sometimes pretty funny who they put into the zone to grab the boards if you direct this to reality :)

While I *might* agree on this one, the statement above mentioned doesn't change by anything the fact that if the opponent PF miss a shot, you are more likely to get the rebound. Wich I think, was the point the other user was trying to make.

edit: Sorry, wrong button.

I guess that is why all players and teams are built slightly different. My thought is that a PF that is sensational in OD and JS will be a terror to play against. PF's like yours will have a nightmare guarding him, you may get more rebounds but if he shoots 60% or better from the floor I will likely win my share of games.

Maja is the player I am discussing, at this point he is still a work in progress. But will soon be a dominating force! Small forward is his prefered position now but in the middle of next season he will be converted to a PF that has all the tools. Long range he will have an easy time of getting 6 or 7 skills to sensational and will have a few well past that. It will keep his salary lower than if he went crazy in one or two areas.

Thoughts?
