Like the other candidates have said 5th would be a reasonable goal for this season. Will we try to be better, of course, but 5th would be a decent season.

As for JR it's something I mean to look into, from all the info I've ever gathered/heard it seems like a waste(for the most part, obviously some is needed to maintain diversity). But I've just recently heard that Poland alway has high JR on their U21/NT players(sometimes higher than their JS), and it's something I mean to look into.

Can't say I'm impressed with the comments on JR.

As I've said in previous elections, if JR is less than 15 on an NT guard, it may as well be 9 as 12 as both are useless at helping you score three=point shots. And that's assuming something like 14+ DR.

England needs a 20JS 16JR guard with 17OD, 16DR and 9PA, which is a big ask and a lot of salary to carry at SG for any team. But we still need one!

This is unequivocal. I said: need to monsters. For example in Hungary there is Róbert Böcz with this skill, but he has 19DRI and 16PA and his salary never was more than 230K...
9PA in SG is terrible.

HUNGARY!

9PA is terrible if JS/JR isn't 20/16... it's not so bad when you can hit your shot

And what about the offensive flow and turnovers? Without offensive flow a team can't win.

You can say that about anything.

9 is the minimum to avoid turnovers. He's a pass-last player, so who cares about how well he can chuck it at the bigs,you want him taking shots.

As the new owner of Hong Kong's starting SG, I can confirm that HOF is correct. World class SGs cost upwards of 250per week. He's also not wrong about jump range. Most teams will start 2 guards with 18+ D. Jump range, passing and driving are ALL needed

Wooo, nice player there mzungu!

In this post I'm going to go over the defensive requirements I'd set down as minimums if I was elected. Hopefully we could raise these over the seasons.

For guards the absolute minimum OD level would be 15 to start with(this would be for players who are offensive juggernauts(I don't think we have any in this category) or still in training), 16-17 would be required for more balanced players, and 18+ would be required for defensive specialists. It'd be pretty much the exact same for ID, with the exception that we might actually have a couple of players who fall into that "offensive juggernaut" category down low.

These are probably about what everyone is thinking, but just getting it out there that these are what I would set as hard caps.

Just wanted to remind everyone to get out and vote as I believe the election ends sometime tomorrow! If you have any last minute questions I'll try to answer them.
