depending on the starting skillset i dont see why a specialty big needs lots of time at PG. PA trains fast, JS is can be trained from SF (wingmen, cause you dont want an IS). 1on1 and JR would be nice to have but not a requirement.

great ID/Reb and good PA/SB with low IS and you're on your way to a big that's similar to some of the OD/PA only guards.

its possible that it takes more time, but the market should reflect that value if the player is effective. of course, great LI guards take more time, as would great outside bigs.

edit - this might be a good conversation for another topic, which may or may not already exist.

LI guards dont have to have inside skills. Same for outside bigs. It's definitely better if they have some off skills, but the key here is focus on only necessary skills and keep the unnecessary ones as low as possible for salary purposes.

LI guards need OD and PA. Outside bigs need ID/Reb. to keep the salaries low, which can be used for the primary scoring players (bigs for inside, guards for outside), you aim to keep expensive skills as low as possible. for guards, JS and JR, for bigs, IS.

Thats the core to those types of builds. LI guards have been focused on. Not so much for outside bigs.

Take silverbacks in my league, provide him with a couple bigs like this (125k salary, roughly):

12 7
7 7
7 10
8 18
19 12

..and the rest of us are all entirely f'd even before a boost in SB.

We need PL testing for testing to work though...scrimmages are HORRIBLE for testing...we only use scrubs and trainees out of position...body can set scrimmage lineup for testing specifically...its GS and training day.

Clearly the reason for this was so that people would go back to aiming for fifth place instead of fourth, so they'd have an extra scrimmage instead of a pointless playoff game. ;)

I have a question.. Would it possible to put very good small foward with good js and rebounding skilling and defensive skills at pf . would that count as a Multi skilled outside big?

I dont think 2-3 zone is good enough to stop Look inside. Because it has to shift when the ball is passed if a good guard drive he gets easy assist because he pull the defenders to him then pass the ball..2-3 turn to man - man in the post the majority of the time and bug man get gurad 3pt shot is he good psaain

I think 3-2 is the better defense. Because it can be set a different way in action with skills of the player 3 at top 2 at the bottom

X x
X or XXX
XX XX BOth sets are 3-2 what I showed in 1st one looks like man to man because the sf shift behind the guards to trap the backside passing and in side passing from penetration. Each direction the guard go he has to 3 defenders to beat.. the big man will have to have jumper if want to score. Because he will be defended

Look inside the PF/ center /sf maybe even has to get position to post which will hard to do. even if the guard try to drive they are trapped. theres no passing lane unless the team has very very good vertern experience players.

I have been watching games and I saw a few thing.. I wont spill the beans to much but defensive is the key to stop look side.. Only problem I find with 3-2 defense is it hurt game shape and stamina. lol
