All of my starters have 10+ OD or ID. I think 8 is a good level for d.5 and 12 is good for d.4. I used this site when getting started to help me figure out which skills were necessary for each position:

I think 6 is really the minimum for a starter in V, atlhough as you said more is always better. I had a good offensive SG who was a low 5 and it worked in V but then he was a major liability in IV.

For the scouting, I'd definitely use the 10 point option that allows you to scout all of the 1 and 2 star guys because you'll uncover a few gems there almost every time. The other one is helpful as well just because 18 year olds are much more valuable than 19 year olds... I don't really scout that many players individally though.

I definitely want to have my whole team above 5 in defense, but right now my players are what they are. I just bought a brand knew point guard at 4k salary and great offensive skills.

After construction and buying a new player I'm down to 22k in money so hopefully at the beginning of next season I'll have a new trainee, two if I'm lucky. Also, one more 4k-8k veteran guard or forward.

We have a lot of great outside shooters. Unfortunately, we play all our games indoors.

My starting guards have OD of 18. I'd say 16 is minimum for top tier. Now... I just need to get a SF that can defend!
