I hear you. I was just being anal I guess. I'm a big fan of being short and fast. Just think too many people knee jerk to the tendency to give themselves ape arms. Curry's wingspan is actually rather short. I see it as more of positive attribute for defense than offense.

Can post scorers hit the midrange if open enough? and finally lol, how much of an effect does weight matter. i noticed stretch bigs are weak inside but i also noticed if you make your myplayer heavier/taller you get an increase in standing dunks/ rebounding/ strength and stuff so could i make a stretch big and just make him heavy and tall to get a boost with my inside scoring? if your not allowed to answer any of this i understand

A stretch big will not keep up with a glass cleaner. Yes, you can still get some boards but there's a pretty large rebounding skill gap between those two archetypes. Add the badges to that and its night and day

Yes, athletic finishers leap higher than other centers other than the rim protector. They're even in terms of vertical.

Post scorers can definitely knock down the open mid-range shot assuming you've put some upgrades into the mid-range category

If you created a stretch big that was heavy, yes, it will help you inside. It'll help you box out, finish in contact and play physical ball in the post. However, it will slow you down

You guys look at defender the same across positions. So an elite defenders inside who blocks shots, that makes total sense. For an elite defending pg, not so much. Now as an elite defending pg I get 17 points to use on rebounding. ?!?! I don't want that crap. Don't even get me started on the 24 in strength. You'd have to be crazy to make an elite defending pg. Heck even pass it Capped at 9, really for a pg? Of course I guess if he is a 5'11" pg maybe even a couple of points in 3pt will give you a 75 or something but I kind of doubt it. Need to flush out the CAPS with adjustment to what a certain archetype is for that position IMHO.

The passion! Throw all the bronze level shooting badges on a lockdown defending PG and you'll be "effective" but not great. 35% or so if you're taking really good shots. If you have a dimer on your team, even better.

How much slower and worse of a ball handler would a Point Forward be compared to a playmaking SG or PG? and would you mind letting us know if Pro AM has commentary? Thank you in advance.

Is it included in another badge for Lockdown Defender?

It was already hard to intercept to ball last year
