Okay, so back to Shot Blocking for Centers and how it benefits them. I would say that Shotblocking (SB) is not a Very important skill to ahve, perhaps a secondary. But if you are training centers than you MUST train SB once in a while. The lower SB is compared to the players other inside skills, the slower the main inside skills will pop.
Eg.
Player A- 7 IS, 7 ID, 7 RB, 1 SB
Player B 7 IS, 7 ID, 7 RB, 7 SB
Player B will train considerably faster than player A in all 3 main skills (IS, ID, RB) because of his SB skill.
Other than that, SB is probably just as useful as FT's but less useful than Inside Defense.
Anyone care to correct me or comment??
