I need to keep OD down to prevent the player to become a PG and pay even more salary. With OD 5, you can have PA 20 and he is still considered a PF. At PA=21 however he becomes a PG.

The idea behind this player: he'd be a passing, defending and rebounding machine. I don't need more than 5-8 points a game from him. Since his PA is so much higher than any other offensive skill (let's forget DR for now), he will be a pass-first player. He doesn't need much shooting since everyone is loading up on OD anyway.
You can play two such players on PG and SG and leave the scoring to SF, PF and C who would have heave guard skills with unlimited IS and OD=20 (they'd switch up on defense of course). Imagine two players like this:

17 13
20 14
15 12
20 12
4 3

Playing at PF and C with ~130k salary each.

Oh and BTW, the first player is not 250k, but rather ~220k.
Add a 100k SF and you pay 800k for five starters with:

PG: PA 20, HA 20, OD 20
SG: Same as PG
SF: A generic SF like Banelos or something similar
PF: JS 17, JR 13, IS 20, ID 20, SB 15, RB 18
C: Same as PF

I basically built a better-than-others LI team that can actually defend against other LI teams, while keeping it flexible enough to play occasional outside tactic or, even better, Patient. I maxed out offense and defense while keeping the salary low. What's not to like?

Btw, I here declare myself delusional to think this will actually work (so you don't copy it, haha)

btw, I don't know if you noticed...but centers with bad OD and high SB are not funny to play against Opponent's inside players try to exploit their defense and make more jumpshots, where SB can shine.

I would spend up to 6 million on a player that looks like this....
age:22
Pot: HOF
HT: 6'6

JS: 6 JR:10
OD: 18 HD:10
DR: 10 Pass: 14
IS: 10 ID: 15
REB: 10 SB: 10

This player would only need a season of 1 on 1 Fs and then a season of JR and SB....by the time this player woulkd turn 25, he would be a monster.

What you are suggesting is completely unbased in reality and completely based on numbers and formulas. I hate that idea. I want a bball sim not some meaningless number puzzle with no relation to real basketball whatsoever. If you make a guy like you suggest, he will have no real world equivalent, and be broke for the GE and that is a good thing.

I forfeited the idea of BB being close to reality a long time ago Now I take it as a challenge to exploit GE and salary formula.

Look at this game, for example: (59706575): My SG was so overmatched it wasn't even funny (34k player against 166k player). But despite having JS 13 and DR 15 (and PA "only" 12), he had a very quiet game offensively because other players around him had much greater chance of success in offense. He was a monster on defense though

So as I see it, you can tell GE "Listen GE, I have this player here, he's no good at shooting, so don't make him shoot too much ok?". THe only trick is how you build him and how you build the players that surround him.

it was more of 113 at the end of his season of being 22 not at the begining.

To reach 100 TSP by 21 years, the youngster should start with at least 65 TSP and have 35 pops in 42 weeks, which is doable but very rare. A 18y old I monitor had 13 pops in his first 14 weeks, but that's because of high sublevels and starting DR=1 which trains very fast.

Anyhow, if this player is to reach 122 TSP by end of his 22 years, he should get 22 more pops in 28 weeks. I don't say it isn't doable, but it's possible only if he trains guard skills because 1 on 1 and passing are such fast trainings. If he would have to train inside skills before he is 23y old, he would either have to be at least 196 cm (in which case he wouldn't get 35 pops in first three seasons anyway) or have great elastic effect on IS which trains fastest of inside skills for small guys (for example, IS 4 and ID 9).
