Athleticism in Guards Topic

Agree with skunk. 1st guy is good to go at SF. He has too little speed for guard though. The second guy has low athleticism but at D1, even with the extra emphasis on ath, the first guy is just too slow so no 2 it is by default.
To reemphasize above, there is a trigger point where ath rules all over speed, ie you need a bare minimum on speed at guard. Its a complex dynamic though because you still want tons of ath even at slow speeds. I put the cutoff at 70 speed. Meaning after 70 speed, if I_ had to choose, I'd take athleticism over speed from then on.

I must say though OR, I feel weird giving you advice, it should be the other way

Low ATH in guards is practically a guarantee they will foul out at a much higher rate against top tier teams.  At least that has been my experience, esp. against the press.
