Err... sorry Ken, but I disagree. Vehemently.
With the pre-requisite that the following is only my opinion, and not necessarily the opinion of Swoosh - whose thoughts are really the only ones that matter on this...

If you do LI (the most frequently used offense in BB), and your bigs are matched/over-matched (as a smaller nation - ours sometimes are!) then you'd better believe you need JS/JR on your point. 13 PA is enough? I would think it's not even close. And no: he's not a "good offensive player".
At SF, we have guys designed to play SF. That DR is nice, but the IS/ID are meh... and nowhere near what I believe would be necessary to play at SF. Hell, I wouldn't regard that IS good enough to play guard, and the ID barely so.

Anyway, I don't know much about the guards/SFs on the NT. I do know what I'm trying to do with Torii (currently on the U21 team). And I plan for him to be a helluva lot better than Ikuoga.
I have a much better idea about the bigs, having one of them on the team. There, I have an inkling of where the bar is.

For PG, maybe that PA makes the difference...but it would come down to GS....I HOPE we have better...then again Ikouga may have had training by now.

Faaaaark... I hope so too. Well... part of me kinda hopes *not* as the finished-product-Birdman will walk into a starting position on the NT if that's the case!
At any rate: I can just about guarantee that Birdman ends up as a significantly better option at the point than Ikouga.

As for as Shibukji....I don'T know his stats or rest of stats...but I am guessing its a primaries thing at the very least....IF either is on the team, its for a veyr deep spot on the bench. I can guess we have 10 guys atleast with better primaries and probably 7 or 8 with better TSP and primaries than either candidate.

K-Mat's secondaries are getting to be pretty good (the damn GE thinks he's a PF now! He almost never plays at C at the mo'), and obviously his primaries are massively better. Given he plays for Ken I guess Shibukji has very high DR. But with that salary there have to be some pretty big holes in his ID/IS/Rb/SB... and in NT competition (with LI so dominant) you just can't have that.

I am training but basically no-one is popping. I hope Eita & Kishita aren't capped, that would be really bad.

Asano popped to sensational OD yesterday......Look out!!

I think you have to fiddle with the BB Training site. I know that if Asano pops in 2 of the 3 big boy skills he will be capped....that is why I am filling up the OD and passing.

So... no scrimmage?

Why no game at all this week?

It makes no sense a MVP potential players with salary of $100k & a HoF player with salary of 116K how can they be capped? But a whole season of training every single week 48+ with a level 6 trainer & they have had 2 pops each. Really annoying.

Why ask me?

Sorry, was asking the coach.
