Who would you set as the Starting Center?
Who would you set as the Starting Power Forward?
Who would you set to be the Backup Center and Backup Power Forward?

I want 1 player to be the starting center, the other to be a starting power forward and the remaining player to be a backup for both.

Please explain your choice.
Thanks

I agree with Sleet in that #2 is the best choice for starting C. He has the best combo of inside skills (IS, ID, Rebounding, and SB). Personally, though, and also based on the offense you're running, I would use #1 as my starting PF over #3. The reason being in a neutral or outside focus offense, he'll be taking midrange jumpers, and #1 has a better JS. #1 also has a better IS than #3. Where #3 excels over #1 is in his Rebounding, but with #2 as your starting C, he more than makes up for that loss. The only variable that would make me think twice about swapping #1 and #3 is #3's driving, which is considerably better. But, as Sleet says, with a 3 man rotation at two positions, they should each get a fair amount of time anyway.

Thanks guys.

Can someone else comment as to whether player 3 or player 1 should be the starting power forward? I need a tiebreaker :D

I agree with yersan better JS and IS for player 1 makes him my choice as starting PF. Especially if you play an inside or neutral offense as player 3 is poor offensively.

Play #1 at PF so he will get training done sooner xD

You definitely need to do some stamina training! :)

Player 1 is 18 years old though...so he will be a starting power forward soon I hope.

Player 2 must surely be devaluing on a daily basis no matter what his age or potential is. If you are training big-men which i guess you are judging by player 1 being a 18yo, I would also sell player 2 and lose some primary levels in return for some outside game so that as you train him he will appreciate as opposed to depreciate.

Adding more primaries to no2 just keeps limiting the amount of managers that would want to buy him off you with all those atrocious's.

Cheers for the advice. Yeah I am training Big men, however, at the moment I am training my 18 year old in guard skills. So I got a pop in Jump Shot this week. And am training One on One this week so hopefully it gets rid of some of the atrocious skills of the 22 year old center (player 2).

I will try and sell player 2 early next season, but probably not worth trying to sell now as I need my best team for playoffs. Would you agree?

If you don't mind, could you send me a BB mail with what you think the second player is worth?
