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.

I'm sure you can build a good pg with 50k salary in your league in near future.

Also I think Passing is more important than OD for big guys.

I didn't mention Passing bcz I believe you know its importance for whole team and every single player.

I just want to discuss if the REB is so important for PG and SG as you said.

let us say our training priority to SG.

OD, JS, and JR >Handing, Driving and Passing>ID and IS>REB, it's mine.

And I still believe a world-class SG don't need training on REB, because SG's REB will become his team's finance pressure and can't bring benfit to his team so much.

A sg with poor ID could lead to be fouled out or losing a game. A sg with poor REB usually means nothing bad happened.

It's my best rookie.

Weekly salary: $ 4 179

DMI: 10000
Age: 18
Height: 6'0" / 183 cm
Potential: hall of famer
Game Shape: average

Jump Shot: strong ↑ Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: mediocre Handling: average
Driving: mediocre ↑ Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: strong ↑ Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: atrocious Shot Blocking: atrocious
Stamina: strong Free Throw: respectable

Experience: atrocious


It cost me 2.17 M, if his REB is above mediore, maybe I wouldn't buy it because I will train him to a world-class SG with lowest cost.

what's your opinion?

for any guard these are my stats in preference

OD, JS, and JR >Rebounding and Passing>Handling >ID and IS >Driving.

I dont rate Driving at all...

and i am talking about handling at a decent level, respectable or so.

In my short experience as a dedicated guard trainer I rate my priorities as (For a PG not a SG)

OD, JS, HA > JR, PA > DR, ID (While I do like ID on a PG I would never train it)

I don't believe in ever training IS for a PG and while I do respect the argument for Rebounding on a guard does make sense I believe the time can be better spent on a more important skill.
