1. Yes.
2. Ath is more important at the 5. If you have a significant ATH advantage (30+) you should cause him to foul out.

Thanks. Have to start a SF there to get that 30+ advantage but he's also my best shooter and defender. Ima try it out.

if you really want to dive deep, take a look at the play by play for some of your opponent's games - check out where that guy spends most of his time. depending on how his depth chart is set up, possible that he spends time at the 5 and the 4 - dont limit look to starting lineup.....although that likely is enough info.

That didn't really occur to me but it's only my 2nd game. Not much data to digest. He started at C, played 25m and the back-up C played 18.

Don't ignore BLK rating. If the 100 LP guy goes against someone with a 30 BLK he's probably gonna own him.

Well, that's quite the conundrum, isn't it? I want the guy sitting on the bench with 4 fouls but, if I use a guy most likely to make that happen, dude is gonna score at will when he's on the court.

I'm playing a team with a 100 LP C. I don't expect I'll be able to stop him. However, he's slow and unathletic in a man D.

Could I feed my C in hopes of getting their guy to get in foul trouble? If so, would it be more beneficial to start a PF at C due to his speed/athleticism?

If you check his statistics by season, he isn't that good. He has an athleticism rating of 22.

I'm guessing you didn't look at my team. Not so good either.

Yep, I saw your team. Just saying, don't over coach it because a guy has a 100 LP rating.

I'm definitely in the learning/experimental stages. There will be times, when my teams are better, that I'm sure I'd like to get an opponent in foul trouble. This is more of a "How can I do that?" thing.

Any player with an ATH of 22 is not good in HD, no matter how good the other ratings are. I wouldn't worry so much about that player.

You could assign a bench player to yell at the 100 LP player. Make sure he makes quite a bit of comments about his mother. That usually fires them up. Maybe he'll get a technical storming off the court to kill him and get ejected.

Don't worry. I'm gonna Mark Cuban his *** the entire game.

I wouldn't call it a rousing success but the infamous Richard Harris was POG in the victory.
