I really like having a guard with high LP. Look at David Zall on St. Johns - he's been a monster for me. I try to run the Dribble Drive Motion Offense - basically it's based on perimeter players and wings attacking the basket. I like to have a C that is a proficient rebounder, a PG with elite speed and passing, a shooter that comes off the bench to punish coaches for going -2 or -3, and guards and wings that relentlessly drive the lane. Zall was an absolutely perfect fit at SG.

The problem is that I did a poor job of recruiting the PF position, so last recruiting session I decided to bring in two SFs and sacrifice some rebounding for having another offensive threat on the floor. I guess I was second guessing my decision and wanted to see if my recruit would ever turn out to be a solid PF at DIII - looks like he'll turn out to be a pretty decent PF based on everyone's responses.

I asked skunk about LP in guards because I wonder how important LP is when you have elite athleticism and speed in guards.

In the triangle offense it actually seems to me that LP and Ath are of approximately equal value for guards (offensively; athleticism is still a far better option because of how much it helps on the defensive end).  In motion and flex athleticism is probably between 1.3 and 1.5 times the offensive value of LP, lower end for motion and higher for flex.  For anybody still running fastbreak athleticism is probably worth twice what LP is for guards.  Makes sense; you don't need a lot of moves if you're running ahead of a defender and/or can generate a little space going to the rim.  And again, that's all for offensive benefit only.
