I personally rate OD as very important on PFs. For Centers, I don't think it weights too much. probably 5-7 it's OK. Besides, having good OD on PF might help to make another defense (other than M2M) tactic to work effectively (Inside box and One comes to mind).

On the side note, having high OD (6-10) on Bigs, might help in some cases to foul less.

Yeah, i agree OD on PF's, because there are a lot of good outside shooting power forwards, but is it wise to train pf's in OD? Because it seems like it would take longer since they're taller than gaurds. Does anyone have any experience in training pf's in OD?

How are PF's going to get higher OD without training them?

It's always advantageous to train guard skills for your bigs, it makes them better more well-rounded players without bumping their salary.

I trained OD to my PF two seasons ago, height 208cm, age 22, and he popped once in four weeks with the occasional pop in other skills.

On the other hand, not everyone can afford a 400k a week center. Generally players seem to have a plan for salary. Once a player's salary gets to about the maximum a player can afford, than why pump him with more stats for the net 1-2 seasons if you plan on using him to fill your team and not just to trade? After a player gets a salary over 100k how much more do you need to pump the primaries? Since the bigs with good secondaries often sell for a lot more, it may even be a better financial choice to train the secondaries after a certain point. If you do a market search for PFs who have good inside skills and 10+ JS and OD you could be looking at players going for over a million. So from a budgeting standpoint, you get a well rounded player with a lower salary (unless you want a player whose salary is most of an entire team). From a trading standpoint, outside skills are rare... a truly well rounded big who has great primaries and the ability to shoot, pass and put pressure on the outside is rare to the point of a huge price. Either way secondaries look like a good value, but so few players bother to train them.
