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?

In alot of cases you are totally right, but the big factor will be match ups and tactics. Both can make a world of difference.

If you look thru my games you will see Maja has matched up against players that out level him significantly and he has held his own.

People here often forget there is more than one way to build a player and a team.
