I have this url: hdnewcoach.blogspot.co.il/2009/10/players-overall.html, which is made by zhawks and is a good reference. But I would feel better if someone can show me another source that shows what are the most important core values by position or if you like to share, drop a feedback below what you think they are.

Also according to zhawks he made it sound like PF and C are practically equal in their importance of core values, but it seems to me that for PF it seems more important than Center to have at least little better skills in what's suited for guards like PAS, BH, etc... Also is LP really meaningless even for SG, I once had a player who was a SG and had fairly good LP for a SG and it did seem to make impact.

Lp is absolutely important for guards now ... It wasn't when that Zhawks guide was written.

LP determines a guards' ability to drive the lane and score or get fouled, it's not on the level of SPD in terms of importance but it is no throw away.

And PF and C  are basically interchangeable, some people may prefer a certain skill at PF over the other. (I personally prefer a C who can pass better and a PF who can BH better) but I swap the two positions regularly. I'll often have 4 centers or 4 PFs. Same way you can have a PG that starts at SF or a SG at PG... don't worry about the position title as much as the skills they have. There is no longer a position penalty which there was when that guide was written.

LP determines a guard's ability to drive the lane? That seems bizarre, at least based on the name. I'd always assumed that ability was some combination of SPD and BH. 

I would argue that I'll almost always put the slower one at center, all other things equal. And, again all other things equal, the higher per at PF. All other things equal, the higher block at center. All other things equal, the higher rebound leans towards center for me.

For sf, I tend towards a different tack - sf is a good place to make up for deficiencies in your starting lineup at other positions. Your starting guards don't have enough per? Get a three shooting sf. Rebounding low in your posts? Get a high rebounding sf. You can have quite allot of configurations of successful sf.

They should have renamed it, but basically it's now "scoring in the paint". Or you could call it "finishing" perhaps.

Ok, for what it sounds like for the PF/C, that practically when we usually see a player assigned as PF, we see something like in proportions for example 75 on LP, BLK, REB and somewhere between 20-50 on BH, PAS, PER. Where for Centers, we usually see them more hardcore in the LP, BLK, REB and more minimal in BH, PAS, PER. So from what you guys describing is that this Center with more hardcore LP, BLK, REB and more minimal BH, PAS, PER would be a better player for you at the PF position than what we normally see usually as skillset for PF that I just described. That's good to hear cause I was recruiting the last 3 years based on decision making where I treated the C/PF as interchangable. But has slight signficance where if you have 2 Centers and one has more of the hardcore center traits than the other, then you put him at Center and the other at PF.

I thought too that LP has somewhat impact on guard. Like in real life Derrick Rose is Derrick Rose because he has quality LP. But of course we talking about here in WIS. So regardless of LP is important or not, it sound like BH & SPD really has impact on a PG to drive to the lane, so if you have a PG with 90 PER and crappy BH & SPD you more want to have a +2 three point frequency than say someone that has high BH & SPD with 90 PER than you would lower it to like +1 or 0.

Lp does, absolutely, 100% with no doubt, have an effect on guard scoring.

Ok good to know, thank you. It sounds like obviously as well if that guard has higher SPD and BH, that would make him more prolific getting to the lane. So a PG with 40 LP, 90 PER, 30 BH, 30 SPD would be assigned as +1, maybe +2. But if he had 40 LP, 90 PER, 95 SPD, 85 BH you would do like a 0, possibly but rule out -1

Well, partially, having the lp will take care of itself. Set at zero, the player with a lower ratio of per to lp will shoot less threes than a player with the same per and less lp.
