true...but my starting point guard and back up small forwards can play down low. i just didn't feel like putting that in my last post.

do you mean by that, that if I have a center who's 7'1", it wouldn't give me any advantage to a center who's 6'8"?

Correct. If you have a 7'1 strong rebounder, and 6'8" strong rebounder they would be as equally likely to get a rebound, assuming they were in the same game situation with the rest of the players and tactics being the same. The 7'1" might take advantage of his height, and the 6'8 guy have better strength, jumping ability, timing, positioning, and anticipation of where the ball will carom to. But these difference have been collapsed into identical rebounding skills.

For training purposes, the 7'1 guy will train faster, because he can improve the underlying skills more (he can improve his strength and jumping more, learn how to positioning, etc.). The shorter guy won't be able to improve as much as he has already achieved more of his potential simply to be able to compete with the taller player.

I think it might win you the tip off.

He will play the best player available at a position regardless of how you set your depth chart(mostly). So he isn't going to do something crazy and play your center at the PG position.

You didn't see my first match of the season... (2421898)
The coach has put my PG & SG at PF although he had 4 better players to put at PF...

Yesterday I played "depth chart till 4th" for the first time.

I had my best C and PF set as reserves and the same rotation for C and PF, like this:
PF: A, C, D
Center: B, C, E

I needed D and E to play 10 minutes for training purposes and was expecting (hoping) my coach would play C and E in the last quarter, but he didn't.
A and B played most the the 4th quarter with C rotating with them. D and E did not play a single minute.

E is surely my best center, 2 level higher in all primary skills than B... why did he not play? Does anyone else have more experience with this substitution setting?

your D and E mostly will only play if A,B or C are either injured, or have foul trouble. OR when you are ahead by many points, and then I mean MANY points.

Thanks... I know that's the case with "strictly follow depth chart" and "coach picks from depth chart"... but so what's different with "depth chart until 4th" if the coach still never takes own decisions?
