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

This is becoming like LI 101 class LOL

You don't need much IS on your bigs in the current GE for LI to work.

no kidding!

IS is only the most important skill on an inside big, but other than that is not that important lol

im not sure why your struggling to grasp this and being somewhat of a dick about it. LI guards are the same as outside bigs. 10 IS on a LI guard is nice, but its not necessary if you dont have the resources to buy one or ability to train one. a base level LI gaurd only needs to have OD and PA. everything else is up to you in regard to how much offskill training you can bear or cash to pay premium for it.

i have a very effective guard on my team that only has 6 IS, 5ID. he doesnt start at the DI level, but his salary is low and does the job.

All the WC and B3 LI teams that have been dominate did so with IS on the Gs. This is a given.

Not every team is playing for the B3 and can afford 2m+ guards with amazing OD/PA/DR/IS/etc. Stop being dunce.

If you keep saying things that are untrue/demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of how the LI teams of this era have been built...then people will become very confused.

You're right, im a complete beginner and have yet to prove that i grasp the basics of the game. yikes
