Just curious, I figure it's not as much as the guards obviously but at what point should I be satisfied?

Hey,

Well, obviously JR is not one of the skills a PF should excel in, because it's not a part of his important skills to have.
So i would say, anywhere between 4 and 7 would be satisfying, depending on what kind of player you want/need.

grtz,

That's another question that totally depends on what level Division you are playing in. Expect to hear some of the top teams come on and tell you that 10 or 12 is necessary, and expect to hear some of the midlevel and lower level teams laughing their heads off at that.

Keep JR always as high as JS. And these two skills should be influenced from the OD of you opponents. So if your league has OD 8 players, you PF should be around JS 8-JR 8 or a little bit higher.

Unless you are training an outside big, I would not worry about training JR at all. The data suggests that JS is the main skill used for all JS and JR really only becomes a factor for 3 point shots. JR trains very very slow on big men so if you want JR on a big man, I would make sure that you get a guy with alot of JR.

I agree with Phyr, unless you are planning to run a lot heavy Outside attack (Patient/R&G/Princeton) the advantages don't outweigh the costs as JR mainly effects 3 point shots. Long 2s in any offense (outside of Patient really) tend to be forced ones at so you'd rather hae high HND/DR for your big to create good inside shots and force fouls.

That being said, if you have a young player with 6 or 7 JR, training to 10-12 isn't too much trouble and it can be helpful for those few games were you can exploit poor OD bigs.

The OD's on those 4 PF are 11,10,10 & 9
Div I and really any league should have as much multi skill at every position as possible
