For 5m: What do you value more in a player and why?

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing
• High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking
• 3pt Shot vs Jump Shot
• Quickness vs Handling
• Franchise PG vs Franchise C
• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)

Other than the individual choices (or the combo choices) assume that all other ratings are equal. Where do your preferences lie? Why?

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs LowPerimeter Defense/High Stealing-
• 
  I’m going to go with High perimeter defense, stealing the ball is important but a guy that has high per defense will cause tougher shots and cause the opponent to shoot a low 6
• 
  
• 
  High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking this ones tough to me,
• 
  I think for a C I’d rather have high blocking , I value rim protection. Both are very valuable and if you’re going against a guy like shaq you’d probably want higher low post defense but I prefer having a guy that can protect the rim
• 
  
• 
  3pt Shot vs Jump Shot-
• Jump shot is better than 3 point shot, leads to better FT% and while 3 point shot is important for higher volume on 3s I’d rather have a guy with an 80/90 jump shot 5 3 than a guy with 60/60 solit or even 70/60
• 
  Quickness vs Handling
• this one is super tough you need both really but handling is more important, bad handles can completely ruin a great player. Quickness will lead to more scoring but without handles he’ll turn it over as much as he scores.
• 
  
• 
  Franchise PG vs Franchise C
• 
  this ones easy to me. Franchise PG all day. Give me a guy that can be a 20/10 PG over a 25/12 big. I run outside or balanced offense (very rare balanced). PG is the most important player in FBB to build around
• 
  
• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)
• 
  uh I’d rather have two all nba studs and role players. As long as they can defend their position. I guess it also does matter what position those role players are but generally I think you need a superstar more times than not to win and continue to win
• 
  Other than the individual choices (or the combo choices) assume that all other ratings are equal. Where do your preferences lie? Why?
• 
  what I look at for an outside oriented higher handle player. Ideally ray allen is my type of player I usually like to build around. But my guy Lewis on his way there now.

High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing
- in the playoffs when you play high level guards you need defenders that can stop them at least some what consistently because you can’t rely on piling up steals to win
High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking
- I think the majority of fbb scorers are typically perimeter players so them attacking the basket with rim pretenders on defense is more valuable.

3pt Shot vs Jump Shot
- jump shot is something that is universally valuable. I also think when it comes to perimeter players the 3 pointer is more likely to improve then fts

Quickness vs Handling
- both are very valuable but quickness without handles sounds like a turnover disaster

Franchise PG vs Franchise C
- as you can see from previous answers fbb is a perimeter won game for the most part. Sometimes you can find that generational big but even then you need the pg to pair with them

Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)
- 2 Studs no question. As long as you can build a solid complementary squad around them.

rebounding is ridiculously important, and covers so many other holes potentially imo. I’ve always found rebounds, turnovers, and free throws to be the biggest factors for success

For 5m: What do you value more in a player and why?


[*]High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing

I like High Steals ..so if low P defense comes with it..I'd take that option. TOs are TOs and high stealing would give me extra possessions..low perimeter D has its challenges but players are going to miss more than they make from the perimeter so ill take the for sure steals..
[*]High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking

Same as above I love Block shots

[*]3pt Shot vs Jump Shot

3pt shot.. I feel like players with it have higher volume and will still hit their jumpshots
.whereas a jumpshot guy with low 3s will not be as dangerous
[*]Quickness vs Handling

Quickness helps with many things and handling is so hard to coach up itsbcrazy..
[*]Franchise PG vs Franchise C

PG..I love Bigs but if you get a Franxhise PG u are 1/2 way to a ship

[*]Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)
2 studs... they make everyone else better around them and it's easier to load up on high end role players in one ofgseason than to get 2 studs in 10 seasons

Other than the individual choices (or the combo choices) assume that all other ratings are equal. Where do your preferences lie? Why?

I always look at Inside Scoring as a tie breaker when looking at draft prospects .regardless of position...

• I prefer high perimeter defense/low steal. I believe in perimeter defense clamping down opposing players. Especially since outside oriented players are so dominant, perimeter defense plays that much more role in limiting the scoring of the opponent star
• Low Post Defense/High Blocking: I don't know why but I've seen a random guy with high blocks make a star big obsolete in games with a lot of blocks. I haven't seen low post defense doing much in limiting the opponent
• Jumpshot: i don't know what creates volume, but I would prefer jump shot given it plays a role in FT% and also a player taking a shot. someom with high 3p% may not have volume and also with all the FT he shoots, can lead to poor scoring
• handling: both are really important but handling can ruin a great player. For instance, Ja Morant in our previous league would have been one of the best PGs if only he had some decent handling so he had 3TOPG. it doesn't matter if you average 22/6/9. If you turn over 4-5 times a game, that player can single handedly lose you the game
• Franchise PG: FBB is a PG game
• Two studs + a team full of very average role players:case in point with my nets first coupleseasons. we had good role players and we were on top of the East in terms of our records.When playoffs come around, you need superstars to lead your team.

I would say rebounding is underrated. having a board advantage provide you with more shot opporunity

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing

I like steals too don't get me wrong but it doesn't do much good if you get burned regularly when not getting one. You have to be able to play defense on the elite guards in the league.

• High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking

I think normally I would like the blocking for a big. A lot of times teams aren't really playing through a big man it's outside focus etc. so the blocking for teams defense etc. is nice. However there are a couple nice bigs right now where I think you could at least argue post D is needed.

• 3pt Shot vs Jump Shot

This one is a bit mixed for me but generally speaking you need a jump shot. The 3 point shot is very useful to in order to get volume up once a player has a shot though

• Quickness vs Handling

I am going to say quickness. The reason is that if you are very low on either it probably ruins a player (even if handling is worse). If you have average of one or better and elite the other then I prefer quickness because that often leads to volume.

• Franchise PG vs Franchise C

It's a perimeter game mostly and PG's are often the key to success. As others note FBB is a PG game.

• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)

I generally build my teams by going for stars then filling in, this basically describes my team right now. I try and get two studs at least (Julius/Dell, Melo/Gytis, Kobe/Pierce) then add pieces around them over time to put it over the top (preferably even a 3rd stud like Mario was turning into or adding Pinero). I am a big on star power in FBB just like real life.

 

[panda]

High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing
need to ne able to stop a star PG when you encounter one so I'll take the first option, steals are nice but overrated

High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking
Usually like 5% of the league is running inside focus with a dominant big so I'd rather have blocks to shut down driving wings and guards

3pt Shot vs Jump Shot
Jump shot dictates how well you're going to shoot from basically anywhere on the field including FTs, 3pt is more of a tendency rating. I'd prefer high jumper always

Quickness vs Handling
Fuck turnovers, quickness is nice and can lead to a monster scorer but bad handling can make a player useless

Franchise PG vs Franchise C
Always prefer the primary ball handler to be the star of the team, also always prefer playing an outside system so obv want a superstar PG.

Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)
I'll take the first one because you can always trade it into the second one if it doesn't work. Much more difficult to go in the reverse direction.

 

[the_jon]

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing

This is because Perimeter defense slows down big time shooters which seem to be OP in fbb.

• High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking

I've had more success running with guys who block a ton so I take the blocks.

• 3pt Shot vs Jump Shot

Because it affects both FG% and FT% so I just feel you get more bang for your buck with Jumpshot.

• Quickness vs Handling

Need guys who have volume and I also having high quickness can help to reduce turnovers if I'm not mistaken.

• Franchise PG vs Franchise C

Easy choice here. Superstar PGs are OP and can single handedly win you a title.

• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)

Always take the star power. Just like in real life, stars rule in fbb.


Other than the individual choices (or the combo choices) assume that all other ratings are equal. Where do your preferences lie? Why?

Of the ratings that weren't mentioned, my preferred ratings are Strength and Defensive Rebounding because I feel things like inside scoring, passing and jumping are overrated to dont contribute as much to winning as people believe but that is only my opinion.

 

[Catdude]

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing
  • I would def rather have high periD. Steals are great, but high periD makes it harder for the other team to get good shots up. Creates more stifling defense.
• High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking
  • Barely anyone runs inside so I think its more important to have a shot blocker guarding the post.
• 3pt Shot vs Jump Shot
  • Jump shot for sure. Players are going to take more 2pt jumpers and FT's than 3's in a game so I'd rather them make a high percentage of those. Case in point: Grant Hill.
• Quickness vs Handling
  • Okay I'm not sure how i can pick just one of these. They are both extremely important. High quickness can lead to huge scoring volume and better defense, but handling the ball is fundamental. Low handles can ruin a player. So i guess if i have to choose one, I'll take handles?
• Franchise PG vs Franchise C
  • Franchise PG all day long. You cannot win in FBB without a hugely dominant PG. Plus its easier to build a team around a superstar PG than a superstar C.
• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)
  • Two studs. This is a star power game. You need someone who is gonna take over a game when it matters.

 

[NCツ]

High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing

High perimeter over High steals all day. I personally think steals/blocks are overrated.

High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking

High post defense over high blocks. I'd rather them lock guys down that get 3 blocks but also give up 23 points a night

3pt Shot vs Jump Shot

for guards 3 point shot, for bigs jump shot. Bigs need to hit their FT's. Guards need to spread the floor and knock down shots from outside

Quickness vs Handling

Handles. 100 quickness means nothing if you're turning it over 3-4 times a game

Franchise PG vs Franchise C

Center. It's harder to build around an elite big because of how scarce they are but it is more rewarding to win building around one than win a ring building around an OP guard

Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)

High End role players. My first ring last iteration with Abramm-Barnes-Skylar Mays-Zion was closer to that and was so much more rewarding.

 

[hokeyrules]

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing

High Perimeter D and low stealing because I just like my guys being able to defend, if someone does not turn over the ball you won't get steals, but defense is always reliable

• High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking

High post D, because in a way good D does set up blocks. If you are only good at blocks, and you are not in the right position then it is not helpful

• 3pt Shot vs Jump Shot

For bigs jump shot, and for others 3 pt shot, just due to usually wanting to do an outside style team

• Quickness vs Handling

Handles - low turnovers key

• Franchise PG vs Franchise C

Franchise PG, but then again I don't win so maybe I should go C

• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup)

Two studs and average players, I want the people who can take over a game, but once again I do not win so maybe I am wrong

 

[Panic!]

• High Perimeter Defense/Low Stealing vs Low Perimeter Defense/High Stealing - High Stealing almost always never translates to wins
• High Post Defense/Low Blocking vs Low Post Defense/High Blocking - Unlike for steals, FBB values blocks more than solid post D.
• 3pt Shot vs Jump Shot - Its easier to win in outside O.
• Quickness vs Handling - I always like more assists and less turnovers. Always helps you win.
• Franchise PG vs Franchise C - FBB loves PGs especially in outside O
• Two studs + a team full of very average role players vs No true All-NBA 1st Team players + a team loaded with very high end role players (think Lakers/Pistons Finals matchup) - cant win in FBB without stars.

 

[Curry]

High Per D/Low Stealing: I’ll take this I don’t put much into blocks/steals id rather just not give up points.

high post d/low blocking: same as above

jump shot: because it can be used in more offenses than 3pt

quickness: cause it can be useful on offense and defense

two studs: gives me forever to build a roster vs a short timeline
