i just bought a new center as a backup. i was wondering how i should use him in the depth chart. he would be by far my best backup big man and was wondering if i should have him back up both my center and power forward, or just have him backup one position and have one of the lesser players backup the other position? what do you feel is the most effective way to deal with this situation?

I usually find that if you back up 2 positions with one player, the coach will 'usually' still only play him at one position while one of the starters plays 48mins or the reserve will come in..

If you feel he is most suited to both backup C and PF, then there is no reason not to put him in both slots. Doing so is still an advantage if he is significantly better than the other player that is going to be a backup as well. It just means you will run a 3 man rotation at the front. e.g when you starting C sits, the backup will play C. When your starting PF sits, he will shove over to PF and your starting C will come back on.

I would do exactly as you suggested, listing him as backup for bot C and PF. In my experience a 3 man rotation is the best way to deal with the frontcourt: I've been using it for many seasons and I think you can have the top production (one of your best bigs will always be on the court instead of two backups) and minutes (always about 36 per starter, which I like). It's probably important that your lone bench player isn't a complete liability in JS and OD though, as he'll have to hold his own against forwards and not only centers.

That is, obviously, if you don't have training purposes for centers and power forwards. In that case you would be best suited to have two different young backups, in order to train more people.
