Well, here is a guaranteed 800 rated D3 player, currently at 755 near the end of his JR year (gained 79!!), and all of this is done w/o a RS (huh, wtf!!!):

he's terrible.  he can't pass.


:D

In all honesty, he can't pass and his defense is unexceptional.  SFs can end up with really high overall ratings and still not blow you away with what they can actually do...  That guy is getting some serious boards for a 3, though.  I had an SF graduate at around 740 a few seasons ago and he was, at best, the 4th-best player on the team.

He's grabbing boards and will probably be close to 100lp 100 per. With 65-68ath, 70+ spd, he's gonna score at will. And let's not forget he runs in a fcp system. This is one of the best players I have ever seen for a D3 press team. 

Right.  Frankly, his defense shouldn't matter because he should foul out the entire opposing team before they score 50.

+1, great strategy imo :)

ARE YOU SERIOUS, BRO?

wait, a SF who can't pass and is a mediocre defender?  didn't Syracuse win a national title with one of those a few years back, and then the Knicks traded like their whole roster to get him?  On a D3 team, how many people are you gonna want him passing to?

Lol, seriously claiming that player isn't that good because his D is only 43 and his passing is 21 is absurd. He's an absolute beast. And 43D isn't that bad at D3 when combined with 60ath/67sp.

I'm just saying that most of the time when post players or guards get into the 750s they are a lot more dominant than SFs in that range...

I can see that point. I had a SF who was like 770 overall and my highest rated D3 player ever and despite having a pretty good senior season may not be in the top 5 of players I've had at D3.
