I somewhat disagree with Nachtmahr on the ID=SB approach.
If the goal is to stop an inside shot, ID=SB is certainly the most effective combination, true.
BUT: The goal in a 3-2 is not just stopping inside shots.
The goal is to goad all enemy players to try inside shots vs your high SB bigs, particularly the guards and SF.
ID and OD has an intimidation component, high ID or OD will make the engine avoid inside / outside shots vs this defender.
Thus, you want to have effective ID slighly lower than your opponents IS but maximum SB.

One crude example:
You guard a team of IS 12 on 1-3 and IS 16 on PF/C
Bigs with ID/SB 18/18 will have nice attempts to stop ratio but Bigs with 16/20 will have much more defensive actions because the engine will shoot more against them.

Hence, ID should be in line with opponents IS, but SB should be as high as possible.

The bigs might hit more but i doubt it will be much of a difference.
The Guards and SF will certainly not and the better defence against them will outweight the bigs in my opinion.
Dont forget that SB also improves your OD somewhat.

In my last game 3-2(+ prediction) sucks -> http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/100918045/boxscore.aspx
It is true that my roster was not very suitable but I was expecting something more.
Starter skills:
PG 14OD 5ID
SG 16OD 6ID
AP 13OD 9ID
AG 13ID 6SB
C 16ID 6SB

Yes, levels of defenses are low even for the second Italian division. At the moment I'm focusing on training and I do not care about being competitive. To be safe in my league you should have guards with at least 16 in OD and big man with at least 15 in ID.
