I dont so much mean the 99% angle as just the putting them at PF v C part though - I feel like as long as the defensive positioning part works as alleged it shouldnt matter (eg if you have Bill Russell and Bob McAdoo, both 100/100 - it shouldn't matter where you slot either?)
I believe that's correct. BUT, I did read or heard once that the SIM takes player height into account. Can anyone comment if that's true? I've never seen any data to back that up. But just in case, put the taller player at C. Except that McAdoo and Russell are both 5'9". Russell does outweigh McAdoo by 5 pounds... lol

Sable has said some things that lead me to believe that this is not true actually, however the margins here probably mean there is little or no difference. Just to be safe though I’m situations like you describe, I always play the better rebounder at the smaller position.

As of the last posting there really do seem to be four clusters of 6.

Well, let's see. I'm averaging 1.8 more turnovers than my opponents. So everyone else must have also drafted a **** ton of turnovers minus 1.8.
I'm also averaging 10.6 more rebounds than my opponents. Now that's a **** ton more possessions.
And defense wins championships. I'm sure somebody said that once. (it also lowers opponent fg% and creates turnovers)
And efg% already takes 3s and FTAs into account. Do I care if a players efg% comes from shooting 6-10 from midrange, or 4-10 from the arc? I do not.
Efficient scoring is clean basketball.
i knew you would be a problem because of the defense and boards but i didnt think your offense was gonna be this good...you really drafted a sneaky amount of ast% for ignoring pg most of the draft...jimmy butler was a great pick...really helps give you that edge at the ft line

i do think the lack of perimeter scoring could end up being a problem tho *coughwhyisnteveryoneplayingpex-2?cough*
I wonder why everyone doesn't play me -2 also. 'trainer’s lap'
took me a quick google search before i got that...pure savagery there pex...i love it
