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

2-3 DONT WORK because no one trains SB, trust me. Managers much smarter than I have concluded this, I am just relaying what I know to be true. Try to break out of the prevailing opinion from many many seasons ago, and try to apply it to what other people are doing. This game should and is about competing against your opponents, so in my mind the only thing that is a waste of money is something you dont need to beat your opponents. That said, if you are losing to LI, you need to train to beat that.

Who are them,exactly?

I know people always say well 2-3 sucks compared to 3-2. Think for a second. It is immensely harder to make a 3pt shot than to make a layup, so obviously a 3-2 zone is going to work better in principle than a 2-3 zone. People are so hung up on comparing totally different defenses that are used against totally different offenses as if they need to be equal or something. They dont, they arent, and they wont be.

The game of the Holland manager expalins that with a similar evaluation between attack and defense,his adversary shot 47%,and if we take out 3-pointers that are penalized because of LI(another stupid thing,if you take a 3-pointer with an inside tactic it should be a forced shot because time is running out or a shot with high percentage because your player is SO free that he can easily score,such low percentages from 3 with a LI are unacceptable),they shot more than 50%.That's a lot if you consider that 2-3 should be the best defense available.How much should a LI shot,60%?

I got nothing else to say though. If you want to stop LI, go SB + ID. OD also helps, a lot.

Thank,you,Mr.Obvious.We all know that ID+SB+OD stops LI,but at what cost?What is the salary/performance ratio of those skills?The salary/performance ratio of SB is terrible,comparable only to rebound for guards
