Ideal for what? Ideal for a NT? Ideal for an inside oriented powerhouse team? Outside offense? balanced? everything? I think my general idea would be something like this:

13/8/13/17/18/12 - 18/16/16/9

I believe this is possible with with HOF+ potential.

There are so many different builds possible specifically for the PF position, so I wouldn't say there is any true ideal, but that's just my opinion.

I like your build for a balanced PF, but I would go with 17 at IS and 14 at RB and try to get at SB to 13-14. I find my players who have a big gap between ID and SB foul a lot more against inside attacks

hmmm interesting. Do you have any specific examples showing this? I have not experienced this at my league level or U21 NT level (Managed USA U21 NT for four seasons). Generally the U21 NT bigs had 15+ ID at the end of the season and most of them had <9 SBing throughout my four seasons and I did not notice anything like this happening.

I think 14 REB is too low for any NT or Top league big if they want to be successful, but I haven't actually seen a build like you are suggesting so it may be enough to cover the lower rebounding. Not sure. It's an interesting take though!

An ideal PF in my book would probably look like

15 12
15 15
15 12
14 12
15 20

145 SS, ~132k salary

Thanks for the replies everybody. You've given me some good ideas now to work with.

E.B.W., yes I meant a PF that would be able to do most things, so an all round one. Do you think an MVP potential player would be able to come close to your ideal build?

No probably not. I had that player at 96-100% capped based on his skills with HOF potential so unless his MVP potential sublevel was very very high, then he wouldn't be able to reach that.

That would be a very intriguing build as well but I don't think 20 SBing would be possible along with those other skills, because the height needed to get to 12 JR and 15 OD would not suit the height needed to reach 15 REB and 20 SBing.

Well the possibility of bulding such a Player was not part of the question. And I think it should be possible, it would need a one of a kind rookie with starting skills of 7.99 Overall and low aggression.

I guess my interpretation was a build that was possible, otherwise this would be my guy:

20/20
20/20
20/20
20/20
20/20

As for your build, I still think the height problem factor would be too much to overcome even with 7.99 in many skills to start. To get 12 SBing pops on a 7' player takes long enough, but since your player would have to be in the 6'7"-6'8" range in my opinion to get the guard skills to what you suggested, it would take three times longer. If you ever find a player that's suitable I encourage you to go for it though, because he would be a beast!
