I've been looking at the TL for quite some time and I realized that for Quality Big Men, there are not many compared to abundance of Quality Guards.
For example you can find 50 quality C's/PF's where as u can find at the same time more than 300 PG/SG/SF's.
Just a thought, what do u think?

I don't understand exactly what you mean but "big men" are easier to train, they need basically 3 skills, a complete SF needs to be high in all the skills

I mean there are few Centers and Power Forwards on the Transfer List relative to the number of Guards on the trasnfer list.
What you're saying should mean that there must be more Centers/PF than the harder to train guards. But from observation, it's the opposite. I wonder why.
I agree that SF's are the hardest to train.

I think the problem is that too many "big man trainers" simply follow a 'train IS/ID/Reb - repeat' formula and all this does is flood the market with very standard, 1 dimensional Centers. There isn't a lot of variation when so many people are training in exactly the same way and that's why the market has dropped more dramatically for big men than it has for guards.

The other problem with doing this is that salaries for those centers get out of hand fairly quickly so instead of changing their training routines and adding a little Jumpshot training or One on One, fixing up the passing etc i think a lot of managers just decide to switch to training guards instead because with 6 standard skills to train, salaries usually take a bit longer to get very high.

Honestly to have chances to be promoted I need at least another C/PF and a really strong playmaker or PG, before the po I need to buy someone otherwise I'll be relegated
