offensive or defensive? Topic

While running the triangle offense in DI is this player a defensive stud only or could he be considered an offensive threat as well?   

PG:
ATH: 93
SPD: 95
DEF: 96
PE: 44
BH: 94
P: 80

FT% B

Should I boost his distro and put him at -2 hoping he will drive and score or get fouled?  Is that a legitamite scoring option?  Or should I see him primarily as a defensive threat and put the distro elsewhere?  Thoughts? 

Thanks

he can score pretty efficiently based on his ath/spd/ft. you just cant expect too much production from him. think quality over quantity for guys like this... in terms of actual production, i think he could easily be a 5-7ppg guy, and could very possibly be an 8-10ppg guy, it sort of depends on the circumstances.

because of his low per, he really can't take 3s, so a -2 is in order.

OK, great.  Thanks coach.  In the triangle with the offensive/defensive studs mentality that you mentioned in previous threads what is your thoughts on looking for prototypical roles?  For example:  typically you want your PG to be a great passer, BH in order to manage the game and bring the ball up the floor.  If for example I have a guy like the one mentioned above in this thread (the defensive minded player) but he doesn't have outstanding P (80 in this case) does it work to have him as the PG?  I have one other option as a PG on my roster (Barnes)  but he isn't a scorer either.  So, if I put Barnes in the line-up as well, I am left with 2 non-scoring players in my 1-3.  (I guess you could say that the player that this thread was begun about is a 6-8ppg guy as you pointed out, so he isn't totally inept).  Do you see the guy mentioned above as a decent PG?  Thanks
