That's fine and perfectly understandable. I have seen you mention the fact that there are not many inside players a couple of times now. I gave two logical reasons why it is quite possible for this behavior to continue. For example, there continues to be a serious lack of SF talent in the BB universe and the major reason for that is the extreme difficulty in training such a player.

On the other hand, my first point probably gets more to the heart of the matter and I just wanted to point out that most people have no way to see this because of the feedback they are receiving from the match report. I think this is the major reason why we will continue to see most Cs with little to no secondaries, whether or not it is good for your team. People see the boost in game ratings and that's all they care about.

Take another example: most people think that driving does close to nothing in terms of team performance. Only you know 100% whether or not that is true, but for sure the game ratings give credence to that theory.

Dwayne Wade.

Yea, having Shaq, on his closed to prime form. That season Shaq aved 22.9PPG, 60% 10.4RPG, 2.7APG 2.3BPG, being the most dominant C on that year. Actually Shaq had an other great year on Miami (only 59 games though) b4 he started to fading. Have u seen the assist stats? 2.7. Thats why i am getting mad. We cant train passing as a big men trainers...

I really want to give my big men some 2ndaries but how can i train my C some PA or some OD? Looks like that is very important skills for there performance. When u train guards u can chose from 7 different skills. When u train big men 4 with SB being the 1. Put on the account that training big men is expensive sport from salary wise and u can see again that guards are having the advantage 1 more time

Edit: The worse part from that is that when u train OD u r getting some training on ID too. The opposite it doesnt happening...

Well SB is relative useless, and when u r going against big man with good JS and u r big man has very poor OD then he is helpless. Even JS is harder to train than the G's secondaries couz u must put them out of there position with every risk that is involved on that move for u r team. Not all teams having the luxury to put there players to play out of there position. Something that is not a case for the guards too.

Guards have 4 major skills that every1 is very useful something that u cant said for the big men.

Considering how the passing is now such a big factor for the game is also an other major disadvantage for the big men trainers. Actually u can live with basic big men if u r playing outside tactics but the opposite doesnt apply. To be able to use u r big men properly u need great guards too. So whats the point to have dominant big men? Make them role players. Grab rebounds, play D and thats it

Check out Jabbar in 1980 or Worthy in other Laker years.
Tony Parker was series MVP in the finals 3 years ago.

You can train passing for big men. You just don't want to. It is as simple as that.

Its a long debate on those forums about SB, but no debate for the guard skills. About JS i never underrated and every season i am training for at least 1 week JS my big men, and believe me its not easy to find the time that my C will play SF and win that game. Even if i do that then will have GS problem couz after all somebody has to play C.

Still u didnt gave me any answer about the other things that i have pointed
