Yeah i have found it nearly impossible to find a sf with at least proficient outside and inside defense for under 4mill. Mostly because the really good sfs that have the skills all around have too good of skills for my team to afford, there arent sfs that are just plain good. You either get garbage/semi decent or too good of a sf.

This was a big eye opener for me at the Division 3 level. In fact, its one of the reasons why I acquired Bryan Dubois. Dubois is a young player with sensational IS, strong JS and mediocre JR (plus respectable passing). He rates well in both OD and ID. I also recently acquired a player who is short for a PF at 6-6, but has a very strong inside base, and a guard like base with respectable JS, JR, and PA; only downfall is that his OD is not good.

So the goal for right now is to train 4 players at the Guard positions. Two I'm grooming for SF and the others I have slated for guards. I bought my PGs with a minimum of Prominent Passing, and my 3 core long term posts are all at a minimum of respectable PA. That way I can shorten the Passing training from my the NT regimen and spend the last 3 weeks on IS/ID training for young posts (Dubois being hybrid trained).

I'm hoping this leads to two decent SFs that can grow with me over time, and that can facilitate the offense in any style of offense.

To me SF is the most important BB position because it impacts both the defensive and the offensive scheme possibilities.

I agree with RIP. I basically bought Bubdivcious because he has high rating for outside and inside d and his offence is decent. I try to rotate him into my guard training as often as possible. SF is tough to manage and the tactics surrounding them are a mystery compared to all the other positions.

another thing is OD takes time to train.... making the SF very hard to "create"...

unfortunately I couldnt pull it off ... Beavers was about respectable in every skill..

yeah especially when they change the trainers skill level system and so the trainer you have is no longer as effective as he once was and it takes you a season to realize that your guys aren't training as well as they should be. Justin Knowles would have been a much better player and defender if i realized sooner.

I will say this though, OD is something that can still be trained for players that are beyond the optimal 18-21 age range. One of my former players, Cezar Valerio I acquired at proficient OD and trained him to prolific in one season. I didn't dedicate a ton of time to him.

FYI, I'm getting pretty bored down here. Just beat the #3 team in the other conference by 50. And I didn't even play all my guys.

Later skaters.

What would be the skillset of a SF who can compete in this league?
