his JS/JR is low b/c it raises salary.
guards have high driving/handling skills.
whole team (esp. big men) have good passing.
shot blocking raises salary, i doubt his big men have above respectable sb.
guards score inside by driving to the net, instead of taking jump shots & 3 pters.
and rebounding is a whole team thing. so, guards have respectable rebounding and big men dont have too much rebounding (raises salary)

these are all assumptions but I have personally transformed my team from having the highest salary in my league in allstar weekend (and losing 4 games) to having a below-average salary after allstar weekend (and losing 0 games).

the main thing i look at is not keeping js/jr low but instead keeping dr/ha high & PASSING + REBOUNDING being a whole team thing. I dont buy any guards who have lower than 6 rebounding or 8 passing. I dont buy any big men who have lower than 7 passing.

If you add stamina to all the above... I believe you have a pretty good explanation!!

That's true. I had a guy with Proficient Stamina and now I have a guy with Pitiful Stamina. First one played around 35-40 minutes/game with hardly any drop in qualitiy of his game. The other is also playing very good...for appr. 25-28 minutes/game. So for his backup, I have to have a quality guy because he will play at least 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, I had a bum as a backup for the first guy because he had to play only 5-10 minutes per game. So training Stamina is also a means to reduce salaries.

Sorry for changing subject a bit here. With 35-40min per game = 70-80min per week. Is it difficult to get up and maintain good GS for your Proficient Stamina player? Does high Stamina means he can play longer without hurting GS? I've always wonder about this but don't have anyone any where Proficient Stamina to know.

It's true, I had a bit of problems maintaining his GS at Strong or Proficient. So either he started two games, but one of them was a blowout, or he started one and came off the bench in the second. One week he had a bit of too many minutes, another week a bit less, so it worked out eventually since GS builds up through more consecutive weeks.

Thanks for the info.

Wow, I was afraid of that. So a player is "penalized" for having good stamina which is very odd. Stamina should be closely tied to GS.

Yeah, that was a downside. The upside was he had salary of only 11k, but because his skills didn't "deteriorate" much towards the end of the game, it was like he had a salary of 15 or even 20k. He saved my bottom many times. His most important game was this: (33307131) (N. Franca).

It's fascinating to see how he's beating down teams that have double his salary. It'll be interesting to see how he does in DIV.II against much tougher competition and how he adjusts.

Maybe he is successful because his league is really weak?
Very few teams put together a good offensive rating in his league,he can dominate with 1 offense and the defence...

True.
His league has a higher salary but salary doesn't mean skill. Its very easy to find a player with 20 000 salary that is MUCH BETTER and worth MUCH MORE than a player with 100 000.

SG with high JS & JR will have a high salary. if his HA & DR & OD is bad, that player ill be useless despite having a high salary.
C with high SB & (maybe RE) will be useless despite having a high salary.

so what i'm trying to say is maybe the teams in his league are uninformed of this and have many players like the 2 types i described above. In this case teams will be having hundreds of thousands more in salaries but they will be weak.
