Gil,

I think what you are saying is Iow speed can be overcome by other stats. Which I agree with. No stat is an island, there’s always something else that goes into the equation. Except stamina I guess.

but, if you have a lower speed, “kinda average” every where else type of PG, his TO and your team turnovers will likely go up.

my slow teams tend to get murder by the press. That also leads me to believe that team speed (or some weighted version of it) is used in the engine in an equation before s/t/f. In my mind it’s the “does the ball get over 1/2 court” decision.

To OP, I take the guy who is cheaper to recruit, because there is almost no difference to me in either of the sets I run (flex-press/zone, FB/press). Very slight preference to pass in triangle. In general, I’d love to have the extra BH, but if I need the PG, the pass will take priority. Especially true in triangle. But with what I run, I am not likely to notice the difference so much to spend significantly extra to get one guy over the other.

its a TJ post, he is not actually comparing two real recruits here, its all about the theoretical exercise.
