please do not use this thread as an advertisement thread. thanks.
as for driving: in this thread I'd say it is underrated. Driving might be useless when you face a team that neglected defense and always trained offense. When facing a strong defensive team you'll all notice driving is the edge you need to make the baskets, if you don't have driving (which create qualitatively better shots) you'll end up missing most of your attempts. That is probably the reason why the world-top teams value it so high...
Everyone overrates or underrates some skills. Also I, I only don't know which, and nobody knows of himself.
I for one, would never value passing and not even handling for a SF as higher then other skills. True he will use them, but he will also use the others. What I think he uses most is jumpshots, and ofcourse he will very often need to (help) defend. So to me it's crystal clear. He'll probably will try to block as much as he will try to give a pass, so why would blocking be less important to him???
Yes, blocking is an other, overly underrrated attribute. I trained blocking this week, and my opponent will have known it, if not this evening, then tomorrow! HAH !!! (crazy cackeling laugh) ...
:)
A SF should have no skill under inept, none at all. Until all skills are at least inept, I wouldn't train anything else until that is reached, only then he can develop into a valuable SF, and from there on, the max difference between his highest and his lowest skill should also be max 5.
That doesn't mean a SF who doesn't comply to this will not perform good, on contrary, I played pure PFs at SF more then a few times when facing an inside team, in which case it was better then using my regular SFs.
But the perfect SF, does comply, that's just my vision ofcourse.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
