I'm sure if I really wanted I could pull up all my cases for my argument. I could probably also take averages for sale price of bigs at a set salary range and for guards etc. and do all that

So people pulling their random examples of sales doesn't really mean anything to me as it is not put into perspective with sample size and price range etc etc etc. if you are really trying to convince me give me some good empirical evidence

I agree but unfortunately when you look at U21 big men and young centers, generally no other skills besides inside shot, rebounding, inside D, and shot-blocking are above mediocre-average, unless they were drafted with skills like that.


You forgot to add "with few exceptions" Lots of our bigs sport at least one secondary above respectable, mostly it's DR or JS. Of course the primaries are a bit lower because of that, but you can compensate in other areas like turnovers...(22121)

I'm not trying to say that it's better to train bigs. I'm just showing my example of the type of profit that can be made from a big with decent secondaries. Of course, one can do the same for a guard.

Precisely.

The thing for me is that there tend to be more badly trained bigs on the market. More bigs with heavy-on-the-primaries, shocking-on-the-secondaries available than crapola guards.
But a well-trained player is going to get cash. Regardless.
