A guard with
10/10/18/10/10/13 7/4/1/4
Is only around 40K
A guard with
16/13/14/12/11/13 2/5/6/4
Is around 76K
A 36K difference, but which would I take? The 40K can probably stop the 76K because of its OD.
Salaries for guards are also raised with rebounding. Guards with same guard skills will have the same salary, but if one had rebounding, it will raise his salary by a lot. Same guard skills but paying different salaries. Rebounding would be nice on a guard, but not needed.
A C/PF with
11/11/4/8/7/6 11/17/17/4
Is only around 87K even with that double 17 on ID/RB
A C/PF with
5/4/2/5/5/6 17/17/17/4
Is around 181K
About a 100K difference, and which one would I take? Obv the 85K one. The ID will be okay against a guy with 17 IS. His 11 JS and 11 JR will usually beat the center because of the 2 OD. So what if the first one can't score inside against the other, he can score outside.
If you don't understand where I am leading to, its just that a high salary guy can still be stopped by a guy that has a lower salary than him.
Now to make it more convincing, lets use guys around our salaries/ i.e. 15K-50K
A guard:
13/11/14/11/12/8 5/2/1/4
Is around 30K
A guard:
14/12/13/10/10/6 5/2/5/4
Is around 44K
A difference of 14K, but the 30K guard would be great for me going against that 44K guy.
Now am I saying we have these types of players in this league? Nope. But I'm just giving you examples that high salaries do not mean better. Sometimes it is and sometimes it is not.
Oh and also, lets say
a 5K guard looked like this
13/7/10/12/12/4 3/2/1/3
Impossible you say? Well he may have received some training in the year, of course that isn't the case here(maybe) since its only the beginning(kinda) of the season.
