Because, in My team, I like more defensive players:)also,think that ID will help me when I will play 2:3 zone with teams that have strong C/PF or even inside oriented SF.

I agree with you. ID is very important. Why else would they give you a sub-level of ID when you train OD. My starting SG and SF both have strong or higher ID. Even my backups have respectable ID. I would also say that IS is very useful. My list would look like this..
1. Inside D
2. Rebounding
3. Inside S
4. Shot blocking

my list since I run a 3-2 defense:

1. Rebounding
2. Inside shot (if he has decent amount of driving then this would be NO.1)
3. Inside D

Dont even care about SB on smaller men.

Why ID is rated higher than IS?

That is an easy question to answer. On offense, driving and IS help each other out. I prefer IS over driving myself. But Inside D helps shuts down lay ups and points in the paint by the other teams G's.
Look at my starting SG...
Andrea Mainardi (8076105) Small Forward ....I play him at SG now...

Weekly salary: $ 25 651

DMI: 238500
Age: 21
Height: 6'5" / 196 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: proficient
Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: respectable
Outside Def.: sensational Handling: respectable
Driving: strong Passing: inept
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: strong
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: awful Free Throw: mediocre

Experience: awful

He is still a work in process, but with some more IS and JR and 2 pops in passing..he is going to be a beast.

i am beginning to believe rebounding might be the most important aspects of the game. maybe thats the reason it is highly priced. all five player are responsible for rebounding and even a pg affects the rebounding rating more than you might think. so even though it is pricy and hard to find, a good rebounding pg (respectable is just enough i believe) should make your team better.

I think all the skills are important but to some extend. What I mean is that usually you would not want to spend much time on training inside skills on a guard but if he has some to begin with its quite nice. I rate Inside D highest as well. Considering a zone defense its not simply a question of IS of the attacker vs ID of the defender but its rather a sum of few different things.
Rebounding is quite nice as well. What JosefKa's charts showed is a very high contribution in the rebounding rating from guards and I think its a shame not to take advantage of this. Having 6-7RB guards wont bump their salary that much and can prove to be a big advantage.
As far as ID goes. I think its pretty much useless for guards. I might be wrong here but I am taking into account my trainies. One has 8 in IS and the other one has 2. I fail to see any difference what-so-ever. On the other hand when I play those same guys at SF the 8IS guy does quite better.
SB is free and that the best part of it. Would never train it but do not mind getting some to begin with.

Have you noticed any difference when using the tactic Look Inside? (We might also consider neutral tactics on this one, specially Patience)

Well I play mostly Push The Ball. Perhaps on LI the difference would be bigger.
