Hey guys, I am looking at my D2 Tampa team and have been going back and forth on who to start at C. I have included the ratings for each guy including if they have any growth left. Team Link http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=8321

Dave Parks (Soph) http://www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/Ratings.aspx?tid=0&pid=2195684

ATH: 74 average
SPD: 38
REB: 73 average

I was leaning towards Parks because his higher ATH, REB and Def, even though his LP is much lower and his FT shooting is worse. Thoughts? Who would you start.

I would start Parks...Robinson will be a more efficient scorer against 2nd teamers.

Parks. Not even close.

start Parks. FT is close enough. He is better at everything except offense. Let Robinson come off the bench and his scoring ability will be heightened against the other teams' backups...

(ETA: TrentonJoe already said all this, sorry about that...consider this another opinion to support his)

The only reason it could be even close to a competition would be if you were desperate for offense.  You have plenty of guys who can score, so it's Parks by a country mile.  He's really not even that far inferior as a scorer.

bh/pass are just not that important at the 5. reb and def are huge, however, and parks has significant advantages in both areas. offense can be important, but less so than guard offense. and anyway, neither guy is good on offense. so, its parks, and its not close. hope that helps!

Very helpful guys, thank you
