Lol, ok.
Lets settle this......
Provide "short man" data of the micro shot blocker.
6'4 and below...... Let this be an offshoot of the OT.
And these little guys can be positioned in the post to make it easier.

Are the SBing values around respectable?

IMO SB plays into the overall aggressiveness of a player, as driving does for offense.
This question begins to dig into the heart of the OT as a whole. SB has an effect, but just how much?

and it would be pretty hard to compare as other skills may influence shot blocking too.
Then if we follow your theory why not think the same think of rebounding and ID too, as height helps IRL

I have a 6'6 sg..... pitiful inside defense, but respectable sb.
He has a 1.2 SB average for the season.
In RL terms we all know that height is a factor with a 6'6 guard.
With this game being basically math....the question comes eventually how to cover a human feel to it with math involved?
That is where variables come into play, in math out brings the human or unknown factor into this.......and if there is an unknown factor......that means it is possible that all is not known about this game. And if you think outside the box like I do, it keeps you coming back for more because of the endless possibilities this sim provides.
Back to my point, with a player with no ID to speak of, yet gets over a block a game...could just a decent stat of OD alone be the reason for this?
