I have this guy:

ATH:93
SPD: 80
LP: 55
PER:65
BH:95
motion offense, A IQ

He mostly plays the 3 but he gets some minutes at the 2. As of right now, i don't think he will start. I have a pretty solid D1 team that makes the NT consistently, wins a game or two most years but isn't in any real danger of accidentally winning a NT.

Do you think this guys can score a few points per game? As a reserve would you feel comfortable having this guy having the third highest distro coming off the bench? Second?

Thanks in advance, guys like this I would normally not give any distro but I think I am underusing him.

I have this guy who seems similar to yours, albeit much slower, also playing SF. It's a small sample size, but he's my best scorer. He was a good scorer even before his redshirt last season.

I think your guy's LP is high enough with elite ATH and good SPD to score there, and his PER is good enough with elite BH to luck into a few threes.

EDIT: Also, without knowing his free throw grade, I imagine he can get to the line a fair amount.

That 30 points in PER is kinda big pallas. I don't know how comparable they are.

Agreed. Big difference. But I believe 65 (with that SPD and BH) isn't as low as some coaches think. I've seen guys shoot decent with PER around there.

He's a -1 guy IMO.

How many points you thinking? 4-6? Sure. More than 10.. maybe against low D1.

What school is this for?

I have basically the same guy

Yeah, I was hoping for more production that Gary Smith. I think that might be a bit of a dream.

it's my Fordham team.

I think in ivy league games he will get 8-10 on efficient shooting. But I'm just not sure how reliable he'd be against tougher competition in non conf or NT.

Gary smith might need to score more next season so ill see how he does.

Caveat - i have zero championships... but i did make a National Final with the guy listed down below at SG.

I've always thought that great BH and great ATH-SPD, with minus-2 shot selection, works as an excellent "slashing to the hoop offense". And LP and PER can be just mediocre in the 50's range.

For example, this guy Edinger had an "A" free throw rating, so i would just try to sent him to the hoop to get fouled at a minimum. As a starting Senior, his FG% was 49% and he averaged 16.9 points. I run a Triangle, but i thought Motion was the actually considered the best for "slashing".

Edinger:

This other guy Jackson shot no threes either, but went 52% from the floor as a Senior, and drew a ton of fouls (though his LP was better, at 74... his ATH-SPD was 100-80):

I've always wondered about my slashing idea, but never really found an definite answer other than it's worked for me.

I would not hesitate giving this guy third distro. I would also slot him as a backup at multiple positions, and that way you maximize his minutes and skills.

I had this guy score very well for a D1 National Championship team https://www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerHistory/Ratings.aspx?pid=4041579
