OK I don't really understand you and you perhaps arent understanding me. What is sure, we have different opinions about SB. I think there's no point arguing anymore, so I'll leave it here. No hard feelings :)

I understand you,but you aren't throwing any serious arguments to affirm that SB could be useful someway

I think I can sum this entire thread up:

1) People complain about not being able to stop LI
2) People complain that is all teams run, LI
3) It is known at this point SB is what stops LI driving shots, and helps against other inside shots
4) People then complain they have to pay too much for SB
5) Paying too much = it is not worth training somehow

Simply put, you cant have the best of all worlds. If you want to stop LI, make a sacrifice elsewhere and train SB. It is that simple. If you dont have SB, you will not stop LI more effectively than anyone else. It has already been shown that SB costs less than other inside skills. Make your decision to train SB or not, but dont complain about how hard it is to stop LI if you are not willing to train SB.

The problem here is that you can't stop LI beacuse 2-3 defense DON'T WORK,not because you need to train SB who is a waste of money.
This is a better sum,imho

Never had problems with playing a 2-3, and I like shotblocking..

Lately my top center played against a player which was kind of similar. The only difference was mine had only 8 shotblocking and his had 16. And guess what?, mine couldn't buy a bucket.

Just 4 fun, do you think that now-days squads will find it difficult to play against this kind of player:

Jump shot 17 Jump Range 15
Outside D 7 Handing 16
Driving 17 Passing 10
Inside S 7 Inside D 20
Rebounding 14 Shot Blocking 20
Stamina 10 Free Throws 10

which is projected as SF with 240k salary (bb salary calc).

Do you think he can help you win a major tournament?

I think most teams are screwed with their LIs against this guy and for that reason, yes he would atleast help significantly his team in a major tournament in BB.

Instead of searching solutions with the current situation we have on BB, you prefer complain. I prefer the red's approach, that's why I give him +1 :)

In the current situation of BB some tactics,offensive and defensive,don't work.It's not compainin,it's just the truth
