What rating do I slasher/scorer type guard needs. Say he has virtually no PER, between 30-50... So what stats does he need to score a lot? I know he will get to the line and needs good FT shooting.

I usually look for high ball handling, speed and athleticism in my "slashers." As for requirements in each, I try for 50 athleticism or better, 80 speed or better and at least 65 ball handling. That's at the D3 level though. If the player has a little bit of low post, that's a plus too.

And good lp too really helps 40+ lp at d3 if not 50+ can be good with high bh and ath/spd

Here is an example of what I look for in a slasher. He will likely reach 50 in ath, still blue in speed, bh, lp and per.

SPD/BH/FT......I am not sure if there are three different scoring equations or just one big one. IMO. the three different types of scorers are:

1 ATH/LP which is defended by ATH/DEF/BK,
2. SPD/PER which is defended by SPD/DEF/ATH(maybe)
3. SPD/BH which is defended by SPD/DEF/BLK

i think ath, lp, ft are the ratings that really go up in importance, relative to traditional guard scoring (which is heavily spd/per/bh based). spd, bh, and per are all less important in a slashing guard, than a regular guard, but they are all still pretty important.

Here is player I think could be a slasher type player. But am I giving him enough distro? No idea.

I don't know if he's using his ATH and LP or SPD and BH or if it's a combo of both. Either way, he's reasonably proficient, I think his distro is about right.

I try to keep shooting percentage at around 50 percent. If he is significantly higher than 50, I bump up the distro. Looks about right to me.

I feel triangle is the worst offense for a "slasher" it values ath/spd the least and requires the most lp/per ability.

Here's one with no lp/per at all,but solid ath/spd and elite bh/ft

And another similar solid ath/spd good bh/ft except he has great lp for a guard

Probably my favorite slasher guard I have recruited 60 ath 100 spd 56 lp 33 per 81 bh B- FT

all running motion press.

Here's a really good example in my opinion - on my DII Wooden Lenoir-Rhyne Team
