I completely agree with Manon... OD is the name of the game. Even though it doesn't weight heavy into game rating, bigs with higher OD force more TOs, defend jumpshots better, even when they are taken a point blank range and tend to foul a little less. And it's for almost no cash.

I don't know if I'd got for 12 ID from say 18 and say its almost a wash... but I would trade those 18ID/6 OD for 12 ID/12 OD maybe.

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll stick with the one I currently have, and look to upgrade later instead.

What im saying is i wouldnt take any of those players. I would try to get as much OD as i could and then higher IS but lower ID.


Besides IS, how about the effect of Jump Shot? I like centres who are good at JS, so that I could switch playing him in both PF and C positions.

Say JS / IS / ID: 10 / 14 / 12 vs 8 / 16 / 14 , which one prefer?

I could understand the importance of OD, so that he could defense the opponent's SF more effectively. But 10 OD would be very rare for big men, right? For me (I am in Div III), I think 7 or 8 OD would be good enough.

It is no doubt that IS, ID, Reb and SB are important skills for big men. How about the importance of outside defence (OD), handling (HND), driving (DR) and passing (PA)? Which one rates the most important?

In "Look Inside" strategy, I would put DR>HND>PA>OD ... I put driving is more important as this would make him shoot better (better shot selection). Handling would keep his TO and foul numbers in control, so this would keep him in the game.

I rate OD and PA in a lower priority, not because they are less important, but because those guard skills take longer time to train up. Time-wise, I would train one-on-one for forward to boost the DR and HND skills.

Really? When I drafted a decent 18 years old player, I always train ID -> Reb and some one-on-one in the first season. Then Reb -> IS and some one-on-one in the second season. Therefore, he could be 11ID 11Reb 11IS at 20 years old.

When would you train passing and OD for centre? At 18 years old or after ID,Reb and IS achieve certain level?
