Yes he's 18 and 198cm tall and I'll try to make SF out of him, but he's atricous ID is big problem so maybe i'll just make a guard.

That's what makes this game great. You don't think it is worth it. I do. for a PG rebounding pops cost you roughly $1.5k/week in salary. For a SG it's $2.6k. I don't worry about my players' salaries. I worry about their skills. If you create multi-skilled players their wages will be lower than if you create more specialized or greenskilled guys. So if I think my PG would be a better player if he had an extra level of rebounding as opposed to, say, jump range or driving, I'm not going to sweat his salary. Better players = more victories. More victories = happier fans. Happier fans = more ticket revenue to pay salaries.

While this is undoubtedly true, it is irrelevant. It is not the total number of rebounds in a game but the rebound matchups. Just as I want my big men to get the majority of rebounds they fight for, I want my guards to get the majority of the rebound opportunities that come their way. In your 11 games this season the SG position has had an average of 11.3 rebound opportunities a game. If your SG is pitiful and mine is respectable, I have to believe I'm gonna get the majority of those boards, giving my team an advantage in that area.

Anyway, I don't know how the GE works exactly. I make almost all of my decisions in this game based on the 35+ years experience I have playing, coaching, and being a fan of the real game. I'm not saying you are wrong, just that I have a different opinion.

one day, when your every guard ask for salary in excess of 100k USD. you will find it out.

pls notice that more and more guard's salary will be higher than 100k even his REB level is atrocious.

IF you change his REB skill to respectable, his salary will be 150k-200k. do u still believe more ticket could solve it?

your team is in your country's top league, so one day you have to face to this point.

of course, all of us need all-round players. but guard's REB maybe should be considered after many things. such as guard‘s ID, BIG GUY's OD, all-round SF and future's finance balance.

superstar potential is good enough i tghink as i plan to seel all my rookies when they hit 22-23
iv been trying my 21 yo's for 2 seasons already and both have at least prominent on all inside stats so 1 more season and theyll sell for a good price which is y i think theyre alright as rookies....

Even an Allstar potential is good for C. Maybe not an elite player but he can bring you 3-3.5M. Thats the worth of my 21 y/o Allstar C. He is currently 2 pop ups away from his soft cap. Note that i have bought him for just 100k, and i am training 2 positions big men. Not a bad deal dont you think?

My starting SG has a salary of 56k and respectable rebounding. If I were to raise his rebounding to strong his salary would balloon to 59K. If I were to raise it to prodigious ( at stupendous his position would change to SF) his salary would be 90k, but I don't want my guard's rebounding that high. I want it somewhere between average and proficient. At the end of this season I hope to have him pop twice in passing, once in rebounding, once in Handling, and (fingers crossed) once in OD. His total salary increase for these 5 pops would be roughly10.5k- 7 for the OD, 3 for the REB, and .5 for the Handling. SGs get free passing until prolific, when they turn into PG and it starts to cost 10k per pop.

I look forward to the day when Thai D.1 needs to have 100k PG to compete. Alas, since a team with a 12k PG can compete in Thai D.1 I am not going to hold my breath for when that day arrives. Personally I don't think anybody needs a PG with a salary over 100k. I think I could build a highly competitive PG for 50k.

I certainly prefer rebounding for my guards above ID for them or OD for my big guys, so I absolutely disagree with you there. Passing is far more important to me for big guys than OD as well.

Looks like OD for PF is important. The 2 players that i am using there, playerA OD 3, JS 10, IS 13, RE 11, ID9 same PlayerB JS 10, IS13, RE12, ID11, OD1, 5PA for both. The B player is the better player no doubt about that, but the 1st works much better than the 2nd as a PF. Small sample but something you can consider as an indication.
