They are by far the hardest players to find and I would guess that for most teams their SF is really a SG who has a couple of respecatbles and maybe a strong in their inside skills.
One odd thing I have one (a SG with strong ID like I described) that the TPE constantly tells me is worth only about $150,000-$200,000 but every time I try to find someone just a tiny bit better or even the same they are always without fail in the $600,000-$1,200,000 range when they finally sell.
In my opinion this is the rarity of players
5 centers - a dime a dozen, anyone can just train up the three basic skills and in 3 seasons you have a $40,000 + big man.
4 shooting guards - how often do you see guys on the TL with very high JS and nothing else, any guy who has had 2 seasons of JS and 2 seasons of OD training will be a SG for the next 10.
3 power forwards - there is a massive drop off here but there are a ton of those 3 skill centers who at some stage got a little JS and there they are. Real PFs who can pass, have high JS, good OD etc are as rare as true SFs.
2 point guards - I just don't know why they are so rare but have a look on the TL yourself. Guys with great passing and OD, good driving and handling and not totally sucky JS or JR are rare.
1 small forwards - to train one yourself you have to be a very special person who loves pain. To buy one you have to be rich. So instead as I said most teams just have a SF with some ok inside skills or a PF who isn't horrible at outside. Just search for guys with tremendous OD and ID and see how many you can find let alone afford?
