well he did provide arguments... he said that support 4 good inside players and good guards to provide offensive flow for those inside players is way more expensive than having an outside team.
I believe I said that those kind of teams are, likely, going to loose many games. Just like those teams with 4 four expensive good outside players (of 150k each, just like 4 good inside players) with big mens having good rebounds.
Then, was it a really efective argument in the discussion of "inside vs outside"??
he said that training secondaries for big men are more complicated than training guards, because inside player training does not train secondary skills like for example pressure trains OD and a little ID, but ID training does not train OD. so inside team has more trouble to be competitive and it does not have rewards. i think that is what he is trying to prove.
I believe this is not true at all. You can train driving and JS in a very easy way for your C by making them play as PF. Just like an outside player can but his PG as SG to train JR in 1 position. Plus, it is really easy to train RB to inside man, while is not to train it for PG and SG.
Training IS to a SG it is a pain. Because you really have to wait a lot of time to get a secondary pop by training it with shoting for SF and PF.
And I can continue to do this with more examples. My point is, trainig secondaries is difficult for everyone. It is hard to train inside skills for outside players and it is hard to train outside skills for inside players. And it should be that way.
from my point of view... i also train big men. i do win games in my league, but i also see that training guards would be easier. you just need to train jumpshot as a wingmen to get additional pops in inside shot, for ID i allready mentioned it earlier. and... try to train big men in passing and handling (which imho are important skills, because higher handling/passing big players do less turnovers). not only you will have height penalty but also you'll sacrifice possibly easy wins, because you will have to put your clumsy big mens at pg positions :). there's a lot of other reasons (like the offensive flow), and i am changing my trainees from next season to guards... i agree with johnnyb on this.
You should do as you please. And probably switching over time between training outside players and inside ones is for sure very good developing strategy, so you can stop having in your mind the "Inside Team vs Outside Team" and start having the "Basketball Team" instead of it.
