Where does the other play? What’s the sets?

I run a Flex/Man and the runner up will come off the bench, player 1 would be the backup PF/C if he comes off the bench, player 2 would be the backup SF/PF if he comes off the bench.

What are your C's ratings? How's your REB at the 1,2,3?

It's tight and I might tweak depending on opponent but I'd start 2. Depending on stamina & tempo the LP/REB tradeoffs kind of even out with 2 and your starting C compared to 1 and your backup C. 1 off the bench gives you serious depth on the boards.

I'd start both the PFs you mentioned.

I think this guy:

Ath - 64
Speed - 31
Reb - 59
Def - 60
Block - 53
LP - 66
Per - 38
BH - 64
Pass - 51

Scores better than both PFs mentioned because of Ath/SP/PER/ball skills. They're also better all around.

i am going with player 1 and not really sure how its close, in a vacuum. if you are desperate for offense from the 4, then perhaps player 2, but man... you'd have to be pretty desperate!

there might be something to this. player 1 is your best big in the traditional sense, you just about have to start him IMO. but player 2 vs your actual center... now that is interesting. the current starting center is basically really going to struggle against good d with that ath, and he might benefit significantly from coming off the bench. preferably at the 5.

i agree with sports that the PF he listed is your best scorer. not because of his ball skills but still. best all around... i don't know, hes by far the worst rebounder of the 3. defense is close among the 3. i guess player 1 is not that much better than the other guys when you dig into it, but he still is your best reb/def big and its usually good to start your best reb/def big along with a solid scorer.

Definetly 1, you don’t lose that much D and you gain a whole lot of rebounding. The two others are too low in ath, even in D3... Get them in a 10-12 min situation so you can get some scoring. Next time you see that type of players, set the ath/def final scores to be 55 at the lowest, shoot for 65 d3, 70d2. More if you can.

Player 1 for sure, but I like Player 2 better than your starting center.
