Two guards, which one would you all start at PG vs SG?
Top guy is B in OFF and B+ in DEF bottom guy is A- in OFF and B+ in DEF

Number 1 Point Gaurd

Yeah, this one's pretty easy. Top guy has better passing, he's the PG.

I would expect the 1st guy to make more of an impact at SG. His PER is 33% better than the second guy and SPD and BH are pretty close. The second guy's PAS is only 9% worse but his offensive IQ is better. I think you gain more and give up less playing the top guy at SG and the bottom guy at PG. But what do I know?

I agree with Coachspud...Ath-Spd_Per make number 1 the SG on my team and also have the most distro. His 100 Def will also lock down the opponents SG which is a plus. BH and Pass are good enough that number two will not kill you.

Now as for the smart comeback, I have NEVER had a decision like that to make, so I cannot come up with one. I think you are my hero with that tandem!

You can just increase the distro at PG for the first guy. Playing him at SG won't make him a better scorer.

Yes, true, I'll buy that to a point. But my team this year had the Conference Player of the Year (I can't take credit for that), a guard. At PG he consistently scored less than at SG and fiddling with distribution didn't change that one bit. Sometimes he had disproportionately high distribution at PG (when the defender wasn't so hot) and he still did not score like he did as a SG. His big scoring consistently came as SG with no higher distribution. In fact, in games when he was at PG it was whoever started at SG who often became a good scorer. I became convinced that SG is a more important scoring position and PG a more important flow position, all things being equal. I know there are other possible explanations and I'll still be keeping an eye on it and experimenting, but that was my experience this year.
