I just brought this player for 350k. At first i thought it's quite worth it. However, I regret after buying him. I dont know what position should i put in. ZZZ any advice guys?


Don't regret it, he does seem like a decent purchase, should give you 2 to 4 seasons of good ball.
I would definitively play him as a Shooting Guard. Scoring seems to be what he does best, and with that Jump Shot, I reckon he should excel playing Motion.
His problem is his defense. If I was you I'd just make sure to set him on every game to defend the other team's guy you expect to be the lowest scoring threat.

Just my two cents

Edit: excluding Centers and Power Forwards, obviously. His Inside Defense is decent, so if you expect the other team to play an inside offense, he should be able to guard their SF.

Passing: inept
No, he is not a good SG in motion, as they need passing, possible more than JS (well, close anyway). Play motion when you have a PG type playing at SG.

Driving: pitiful
Passing: inept
Inside Shot: mediocre
Rebounding: pitiful


His skill set doesn't leave him much of an option regarding offensive roles anyway. What he'll lack in passing playing as a Motion SG, he'll lack on other secondaries playing other positions\ tactics. It's a "pick your poison" situation.
He should do fine.

I was thinking of playing him as a SF, how about that? As BB states his role as SF too.

While I'd admit I like passing for Motion, I would also say that this is taking it a bit too far. SG for motion should be first and foremost a SG...not PG.

Why are you discussing a SG in a SF thread?

It was a response to broncoWI's statement that SG for Motion needs as much PS as JS.

Perhaps I was overdoing it a little for emphasis, but from CoachParrot, of a SGs contribution to outside scoring in a motion offense, .09 comes from JS, while .10 comes from PS. So from a team ratings perspective, passing is more important than jump shot. Compare this to RnG, where .15 comes from JS, and .01 from PS. While team ratings certainly are not actual performance, since I seem to remember hearing that team ratings are still calculated for the old game engine, this is why I would look for a hybrid PG/SG to play at the SG in motion. Of course, I still would obviously want someone who was better as a SG than as a PG to allow me to run other tactics.
