How bad is a lowish BH skill for a PG?....Specifically I am thinking about a 90 SPD/60BH/90PASS pg for a D2 team........will he turn the ball over more than a 80/80/80 guy?.....

i used to value bh in pg fairly highly, now my opinion has shifted. i think bh is primarily important for scorers. obviously, non-scorers put up turnovers, too, but scorers get many more turnover opportunities. for a scoring pg, i still value bh quite highly, because its sort of the value of bh in a sg (which is high) plus the impact on additional turnovers a pg commits (which is not that high of a #). because the engine (wrongly, IMO) only uses passing and iq to "get teammates better open looks", not bh, i think the value of bh in a non-scoring pg is actually not super high. i probably value passing 2:1 over bh in a non-scoring pg, although passing is my #1 attribute... so bh is still important, but great bh is definitely a nice to have, not a must have. the player you mention would be a great pg in d2 IMO, at least based on that limited info about him.

Only been playing for a year but I agree 100% will gillispie. I have had guards with high pass and ok bh and when I changed dist down to make him more of a PG his asst/to ratio jumped to about 3/1. Have done this more than once and I see bh not impacting a passing guard, to the point pass does. So if he's not a primary scorer I take the 90spd/60bh/90pass for my point guard. If I need scoring from him i'll take the 80 guy because with a scorer the BH is more important than pass imo.

What about bh against press teams?
