Who to start at PG? Topic

I'm very torn over which one to start:

Player A
https://ibb.co/dgnK5fx

Player B
https://ibb.co/k10Fh0J

Player A has much stronger speed but Player B has slightly better athleticism, defense and IQ. They are both such similar players, that I don't know if the difference in speed makes Player A better overall or if I should just go with the slight boost in athleticism, defense and IQ. Or are they so similar it doesn't really make a difference?

If you don’t need him to score, A is better as a distributor. The big speed advantage covers for the small disadvantages in athleticism and defense at the pg position, and if you’re at the start of the season, by the end of the year, A will be mostly or all caught up in those categories anyway if he starts. He’ll also have bigger advantages in speed and ballhandling. Plus he might have some of that coveted “slasher” ability with a little more LP work, as a good FT shooter. This one isn’t too close, if you’re at the start of the season, IMO.

This is only a tough call, IMO, if you’re at the end of the season, and you need some scoring out of this position. B might be a just *slightly* more efficient scorer right now. He won’t shoot 3s very well, but can still hit some outside jumpers better than A. But that’s so close I wouldn’t really sweat it. A’s speed is still more of an asset than anything B brings to the table.
