Well, in exhibition #1, we held a crappy D1 team to under .500 from the game (25/57, .439, no one better than .500) with him starting and playing 23 minutes at the 3. 

1 TO, 1 Steal, 1 def. reb., only 2 fouls with D- off. IQ and D+ def. IQ. 

We lost, and got crushed on the boards, but that's only partly his doing (we're weak in rebounding rating). I think I'm going to try him at the 2, still with 1 distro and -2, during exhibition #2 to see if it gets really ugly.

Not sure I have the stomach to start him at PG, even in exhibition.

Set his distro to zero...what are you worried about?

Well, I'm relatively certain that even distro at 0 doesn't mean he'll never touch the ball. And, with D- IQ, 22 ball handling, and 12 passing running the point, I think turnovers would be a huge problem and it would get very ugly very fast, no?

Anyone I don't want shooting, I set to zero.  Those guys still take shots, it just isn't very many.  It also, limits TO's for the guys with low BH.

I distinctly remember reading somewhere on the forums that setting a players distro to 0 was effectively like playing a man down on offense, really hurting your chances of scoring by turning it into a 4 on 5 situation.  Is this right/wrong?

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

YEah, I run zero's all the time.   There are usually 5 guys on my teams that have zeroes.

Had this guy as a pivotal player on two national championship teams (at work, so only have his ratings as of his soph year, but he didn't get much better):

	Yr.	Pos.	A	SPD	REB	DE	BLK	LP	PE	BH	P	WE	ST	DU	FT	TOT
	So.	SG	96	54	1	91	2	36	45	29	13	52	74	73	B	566

128	65	20.6	0.499	0.326	0.747	0.7	2	0.6	1.6	1	0.1	0.8	8.3
GP	GS	MIN	FGM	FGA	FG3M	FG3A	FTM	FTA	OFF	REB	AST	TO	STL	BLK	PF	PTS

He played mostly SF with a little SG mixed in.

Awesome, thanks. That guy definitely looks like a fair comparison and my guy should at least end up similar by his junior/senior year.
