Depending what defense you play, SB on guards can definitely be useful.

Because of the fact that most of BB plays look inside, I think many people have been experimenting with the best way to defend it.

In a look inside offense, guards take a lot of the driving shots. If you play a 2-3 then SF, PF but mostly C shotblocking will defend those shots. If you play a 3-2, PF and C shotblocking will mostly defend. However, if you play man2man like I do, the PG and SG will defend most of those drives. In my experience, a center with 12 SB won't help much against driving guards in man2man.

I have a guard with 7 shotblocking and I notice that he defends LI rather well and can accumulate some blocks from time to time.

Good luck training Ogle. He should prove to be a beast when you are done with him.

perfectly logical at a higher level when looking for trainees. But these guys tend to push 1M, which isn't going to be worth it to most D.IV D.V who are looking for cheaper, less talented alternatives so that they can spend on arena otherwise.
