1. He's 28. Are you training him? (it appears you're training C/PF, but you have a team full of very young guys, so I had to ask) No I'm not training him. I just kept him around because his numbers were phenomenal.

2. You've improved other parts of your team via transfers. Are those guys taking the scoring opportunities away from Kimbrough?He's still taking about 14 shots from the field a game and making 1-2 of them. Jacking up around 10 3-PTrs a game and making 1-2.

3. He turns the ball over quite a bit and has virtually no assists based on his minutes played and the fact that he's a guard. I'm guessing his passing sucks. Is it possible that such a player is forced to shoot lousy shots by the game engine because he simply does not have the skills to get the ball to the open man?Yes, his passing is pitiful, but it was never an issue earlier on.

4. From what I can tell the only changes you made to your offense were switching from playing Motion all the time to occasionally playing Patient or Push the Ball, and lately only playing Base Offense. Have you tried playing an inside game at all? Your inside ratings seem decent, is there a possibility that something like Princeton could open up the outside for better shots?Don't read into it too much. i was running motion back when he was scoring all those points and I've been trying different formations to try and find something that works while I TiE til the playoffs.

5. Is your PG finding far more (and better) opportunities to score?Yes probably ... i recently moved some guys around to get a better shooter in there to make up for Kimbrough

6. and 7. are the types of things I'm wondering about. I mainly just want some sort of explanation that tells me whether or not this is something that will work itself out or if I'm just wasting minutes having this guy on my team now for some reason.

He's generally playing about 80-85 a week, though I'm trying to lower that.
