Oh i know good old Amill, he grew up with one of my boys (Palmieri)
Skill wise he's beautiful but achievement wise he's not amazing cause Shohoku CB never won much
Amill's international career is definitely remarkable but his GOAT INDEX is just 46'600 (of which 40'500 are thanks to his NT achievements)

1st Player to reach +170 STH in the BB game 99,99% secure.

Amil is special he have 129 STH at 21 and stomp U21 and NT

In my team is to be difficult to pay 292.000$ of salary if i don't have a lot of money in the bank is for this reason that amil can't play in a big teams to play B3 finals or something. Bad economy for me.

My intention was do the best Spanish player in the history in his position.

He's training with all the staff full max (Palmieri the same) and at the age of 28 the player is do it.

Oh don't get me wrong, Amill is definitely among the best players to ever live, there's no doubt about that
And his international career is amazing
And I understand completely that it ain't easy to have a 300k player on your team, especially in a competitive league like the ACB.

However for the GOAT debate I think you don't need just the skills but you need the accolades too and unfortunately (for good reasons too) Amill never won much

It's a bit like the BOAT vs GOAT debate
BOAT = Best Of All Time
GOAT = Greatest Of All Time

Is Amill the BOAT? Maybe
Is he the GOAT? Mmh.. i personally don't think so

Ahahah unfortunately yes
BB versions of Robert Horry would be massively rewarded by this system

But that doesn't mean they're better cause has i previously mentioned it's not the Boat-debate, but the Goat-debate and I would argue that accolades are a massively important part in the second one and almost irrelevant in the first one.

With that being said you could multiply the GOAT INDEX by a "Skill Factor"... for example TSP / 100
So in Amill case you'd have:
46'600 x ( 171 / 100 ) = 79'686
This would limit cases of bad players with a lot of trophies being high on the list

(2284837), for example.. won 4 B3 (s6, s7, s8, s9), like 11 titles (9 top tier and 2 low division ones) and 7 cups, yet he has no appearance for the Spanish NT.
His GOAT INDEX score is 83'600
If we adjust it by "Skill factor", assuming he was what? a 90tsp? That would make his adjusted score 75'240.. hence less than Amill

But realistically the GOAT has both Club level and NT level accolades that I don't think a random bench player can reach

Impressive...

...but only played 1 NT game in his career!

Can he even be considered in the goat conversation if he didn't even represent his country in the highest possible competition...?

I mean, this guy was awesome so why wasn't he playing in the NT? He was an impressive U21 NT player though...

...just putting it out there.

EDIT: On closer inspection, he certainly can't be included in the conversation despite his impressive scoring. He played in lower leagues.

An offensive beast who doesn't know what defense means. :D
