The best scorer on my Rochester team is freshman SG Eugene Tompkins. He also has very solid ball handling and passing skills. The next team I play has a 55 defender at SG and a 31 defender at PG and plays man to man. Would it be a good idea to play Tompkins at PG for this game to give him more opportunities to score or should I leave him in his traditional spot?

Another question. We just played game #7 in Knight, so obviously RPIs are still based on a fairly small sample. I have the same record (4-3) as another team in my conference. We both have crappy SOS, but I have him edged at 243-262. Somehow my RPI is 181 and his is 135. How does that work?

All of NYU's games are on the road.

Good call, thanks.

You should also look at the respective SPD/ATH of the players. If the SPD/ATH of the 2 defenders is about even, then I might try and switch him.

I was actually simplifying. The SG defender is also significantly more athletic and a little faster than the PG in addition to his superior defense.
