Yo Experts I gotta dilemma. I recently purchased 2 strong Big men [PF And C]. I already had a nice PF though. His stats are all atleast mediocre with some higher stats [ prolific rebounding strong driving, strong inside shot, and strong jump shot. Except for jump range which is a awful. I also now have 2 strong shooters. PG has marvelous Jumper with strong jumprange, and my shooting guard has a proficient JS with Strong JR. So I thought a princeton offense would be nice having 2 shooters to kick out too if the bigman don't have a shot. but the main dilemma is my now SF. He cant shoot 3's well cause of his range. I don't know what to do with this. If i could put him down low i could have a pretty dominant low post. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Chainer249

Wow, is US Div. V that competitive now? I remember winning my D. V league with my players having no skill above strong and no player with more than 8k salary
.
Depends on your opponent I guess. In D. V, you're gonna be facing a lot of bots.

Maybe if you post your SF's inside skills so we can see.

dang, your league seems waaaay to competitive for div V.
That $147, 854 salary player in the 4th place team in your league has over three times the salary of my whole team (and I'm in first, easily winning my league). I would hate to start off in that league :)
btw, that player whose stats you posted is going to have a hard time playing as a big man with his mediocre ID (especially in YOUR monster div V league).

JR isn't that important for the PF even with princeton offense(i don't play it much but when i do, my Pf works could and he has weak JR for the level i am playing).

But i won't put your SF down low, because the inside Skills a lot more important for the PF then his shooting skills, so a C as PF works better then a SF on PF in the maority of cases.

PS: i would test motion offense to, which sounds to me more effective for your team with your JS heavy PG, SF and not so strong shooting PF. Maybe even Run and Gun could be your choiche, because it focus more on the guards and less on the SF(and you'll notce your good big man in every strategy, maybe a bit less then with princeton but i think your overall performance increase)

Unless the big guys know how to pass that pill don't do princeton.... it will create too many turnovers... I would use motion or run and gun

Winning a very competitive Div V took me my big man with Prolific + in all big man skills, as well as my PG with prominent passing. So Div V has gotten very hard if you are placed in a competitive league.
