I'm highly considering it considering I have two 18 year old future U21 possible starters at the SF spot and I will be drafting another 5/4 A+ SF in this season's draft.

>>> I started the process of having an all SF team this season, just to see in 2 - 4 seasons how competitive it can be in BB. I have 2 Trainees in the program and 1 SF already set. Hopefully the Draft Gods will be good to me this season and I can pick up 1 more Trainee and find another developed SF on the TL next season. Should be interesting to see how well it works in a few seasons...

Good to hear.

I probably should have said in my earlier post, that I was thinking that there was most likely a few teams out there giving it a go, but as it will be a very long process, they are probably still at it.

It would be great if somehow this post brings out some responses from those currently constructing such teams.

@Mad Scientist; can you please keep us up to date with the progess, and perhaps your successes/ challenges?

I have a SF that is the best PG I know of for his price.

I have another SF who's best position is SG.

My third small forward plays best at PG but can play decently well at SG/SF/PF. He's more of a true SF.

My PF trainee is probably a decent SF as well as he has all-around skill set.

I think the salary calc is a bit off...because the SF position can get a LOT of skill points for the price.

I disagree. The low salary is the reward for training a SF properly which is a long and slow process that very few users even attempt.

Like the idea.

btw, isn't this the trend in the NBA?

I agree with your arguments about an all SF team. Having said that, a three tall SFs team(at SG,SF,PF) is very intriguing prospect.

The thing i think will be hard to over come is that you have worse players then everyone at every position except perhaps SF then. It will be weighted back in the secondary skill advantage. Sadly not enough i think.
I dont know what offense that would fit well for this kind of team build. Perhaps the isolation offenses.
And i dont think htis will work very well on higher levels where you really need good SF's to not get totally owned at every position. And that will cost a LOT of money.
I love these kind of ideas though and would love to see them in action.

I agree. Obviously it would depend on how each player is built, but if you're training up a whole team, I would assume they'd look fairly similar. Say even if you build up 5 freak players who have "tremendous" on all skills. It's a mismatch because of how well rounded they are for sure, but is "tremendous" inside D or outside D going to be enough to adequately defend a skilled G, or a well built PF/C? The rebounding discrepancy as well- again, even a team with "tremendous" rebounders on the floor at all 5 positions would ostensibly lose out pretty significantly to a team with a couple good rebounders at PF/C and a competent one at SF.

I think this strategy would work extremely well at the lower levels, these well rounded SF would be much more affordable than the standard players you'd otherwise be able to pay, but as you get to the upper levels, where teams are already very well-rounded, it would be difficult to overcome the skill differences in the primary categories.
