DII, I'm wondering if I should set this big to -1 on the 3PT setting:

Athleticism 53
4
 
Speed 16
3
 
Rebounding 87
12
 
Defense 45
7
 
Shot Blocking 84
7
 
Low-post 79
 
  
Perimeter 42
13
 
Ball Handling 29
1
 
Passing 12
 
  
Work Ethic 89
1
 
Stamina 75
13
 
Durability 52
12
 
FT Shooting C+  

I would certainly set a guard with that PER rating to -1, and the ATH is good, but not great.  Will the lack speed drag down the PER effectiveness, or is this guy built like Zydrunas Ilgauskas?

Thanks for the advice,

homr

I have a guy that has pretty similar skills to yours on my Naismith team. Through 8 games set at a -1 he is shooting 3-13 from 3.

-2 for now, if he hits 55-60 at some point I'd consider a -1

My basic formula is 0-40 (-2), 40-80 (-1), 80+ (0).  and with him only being a JR, you have another whole season left for him to improve some more. So I would set him to -1 to start getting him comfortable with shooting from the perimeter now, so he's more adept next season.

I would never set that guy to -1, he'll be able to hit some J's, but I wouldn't want that guy anywhere near my perimeter. That's just my opinion though...

Maybe it's just me but this post seems completely wrong.

I'd say that he's right on the borderline between a guy who should be at -1 and a guy who should be at -2.  Given that your team is really hurting for 3-point shooters and will likely face a lot of heavy - defenses, I'd go with -1.

It's wrong. There's no experience factor in this game. Just because a player chucked 300 3pt in his FR year doesn't mean he will be better from beyond the arc in his SO. year.

Set the SG J. Duncan to +2, with a slightly higher distro if you are worried about teams going -3 against you. Setting this guy to take 3pt is not efficient, and also hurts your oreb since there' s a lower probability of a reb going to a person who missed the 3pta.

Personally, I never (or maybe once out of a hundred opportunities) set any of my players at anything higher than 0.  Of course, I've also managed to choke away several great chances to make deep tourney runs, so take any bit of advice from this slightly better than mediocre coach with the proverbial grain of salt.

So if you have a guard with 30 ath, 100 spd, 100 per, and 60bh, you wouldn't put him at +2? Or is this the one of the 100 opportunities you would? Any time a player with over 80 per, I put him at at least +1.
