If the NT manager doesn't want my player, I couldn't care less, because I trained him with salary efficiency in mind (he will be useful for my club).
What I'm saying is that most NT managers would chose monoskilled over well balanced players. That encourages farming and inefficient training, but if you take into account things like salary and experience, I think it is possible to build a good NT out of players who haven't been trained specifically for the NT. I don't care if my player is selected for the NT, I will try to train a good all around player, and I know most NT managers are too narrow minded so I'm not expecting him to go to the NT.

maybe you get a good NT, but i doubt that you get an really strong Nt with players who are trained balanced.

I guess it depends on what tactics you like to play.

a cente still profitate much more from IS and Rebounding then jump Shot and Driving when you play Run and Gun ;) The same goes for IS/JS for inside tactics with guards, and i believe there even more ;)

I'm talking about keeping defenses honest.
A center with average ID will do a better job defending against a center who has sensational IS and atrocious JS and DR, than against a center with prominent IS and respectable JS and DR, even if we're only talking about inside shots in the paint. He will stand back, leave him open for the jumper, and he will know what's comming. That in itself is a huge advantage in basketball.
The best one-on-one players in basketball are the ones who can either shoot, drive and finish. You can't leave them open, but if you run at them, they blow past you.

but a center will have lot more oppurtunitys, to make an layup then a jumper so most times he uses his IS against ID and not his jumper.

It's not about using the jumper, it's about the threat of using it.
Therefore you attract the defender away from the basket, and it's easier to get good inside position for a higher % inside shot.
edit: Think about Shaq. He has no jumper, so if you deny him good position inside (think Ben Wallace, or Varejao), he can have good inside shot but it doesn't matter, he's too far.
Now take a center like Al Horford or Al Jefferson, with a respectable jumper. Ben Wallace will always have the threat of the jumper, or in the post, turn around jumper, so he will not be as effective at denying good inside position.
I remember when Shaq was trying to guard Bargnani, he Bargnani would just get an easy dunk because he would pump-fake and Shaq would jump, or freeze and Bargnani would just blow past him for the dunk.

but in BB the IS of the Center would be always way more powerful then the JS, and aboput the RL example Shaq is the better player then horford and jefferson especially at his best days by far.

I think the problem of the best players being unwanted is getting worse not better.

Hormoz Kavousi (7652290)
Center
Owner: Lincoln Gorilla`s
Weekly salary: $ 416 643
DMI: 988000
Age: 26
Height: 7'1" / 216 cm
Potential: hall of famer

This guy from Iran's national team is getting sold up to twice a week for as low as $300,000. Their national team loves his triple insane big man skills but no league team wants him. This is Shaq in the prime of his career and no-one wants him. Does that not seem like a problem to anyone else?
