Is it beneficial?


Though it might not be too common, I have seen players on the TL with JR higher than their JS. Whether this is good or not, there are factors, such as:

- Other offensive skills
- Opponent's OD skill level
- Experience of both players
- Shot clock

And I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple more factors. Players with higher JR are traditionally not as desired as players with lower JR, as higher amounts can spike a player's salary. If you run an inside offense, my opinion is to have JR as low, but reasonably useful as possible, so that your guards can hit three pointers from time to time.

JR is helpful but I would rather have some of the salary in rebounding instead.

EX. say you have a SG with 16 JS 14 JR 6 REB....salary 99K
now you have this SG......16 JS 12 JR 10 REB salary 97K
(all other skills the same)

I think it is cool up to 12-13ish, but after that it gets way to expensive.

In my experience JR 12-13 is not very useful (not to say it's useless) on the highest level. I'd rather have a player with very low JR who doesn't even think about taking threes than someone with 18 JS 12 JR who just fires away every game and shoots 25% or something like that.
If I want a three point specialist I'm looking for at least JR 16, but ideally 17 or 18.

If you're playing inside based offense, there are 7 skills I would rank as more important than JR for a guard. On top of that, it's a very expensive skill in terms of salary for players.

With people training OD to such high levels, even the top players with high JR don't make a very high percentage of 3 pointers. It's yet another thing that the BB's should be looking at so that all the top teams will stop playing the exact same offense (LI).

Well, actually I don't even know, what offense I should run, I'm still experimenting with the tactics. Although I suppose I will play MOTION or smth like that, because my guards will be stronger than my bigs. Thank you for your help!
