My backup PG with a 13K salary and 14 EXP has avg 10.5 for the season. The 35K salary 6 EXP PG I just purchased has also avg 10.5 for the season.
there are a few questions-firstly what were their GS during the course of the season..maybe the 35k player had low GS which accounted for low ratings?
secondly has the 'backup' whom you have been talking about been your backup from the start of the season or was he a starter prior to the signing of the other player?
the reasons I am asking these questions is that GS has a huge effect on ratings and secondly backups tend to have better ratings cuz their stamina is not used and if they give a performance like 10-15 points in about 15 minutes,they get ratings well over 12.
