Sparks off the Bench in Association

[stball95]

Not everyone can be superstars or starters, but sometimes the guys coming off the bench can be just as important!

In order to be successful, a team needs a solid bench.

So who are your favorite bench or role players in association mode? Have you put up any crazy stat lines with them?

Share your experiences here!

I'm playing as the Grizzlies in Association mode and I would have to say Patty Mills is my favorite player off my bench. He's a solid back-up point guard and is deadly from behind the 3-point line. His release is sort of slow, but if left open he is LIGHTS OUT!

My second favorite player off the bench is Darrell Arthur. At 6'9", he's not going to be most dominant big man on the court, but he makes up for it with his pretty consistent mid-range jumper. I really encourage you to get this man on your roster. He's a great spark off the bench and has the potential to be a starter.

Taj Gibson. Really the only spark I ever get from my bench. Every once in a while CJ Watson or Korver will give me something, but Taj is about as consistent as they come.

JJ reddick! He is money from three and very clutch. Once he scored 28 points off the bench against the Heat with 20 of them coming in the fourth quarter

JJ Redick, Brandon Rush, Serge Ibaka, Damion James, Hasheem Thabeet, DeAndre Jordan, Jarrett Jack are my favourites and provide a big spark.

Re: Sparks off the Bench in Association

everyone is missing james harden as one of the best 6th man in the league... oh yea thats because everyone fu#*% with the starting line up. HE SHOULD COME OFF THE BENCH because then when durant and westbrook come out for a break he is in to carry the scoring load.
I also play with the grizzlies and like OJ Mayo and Shane Battier off the bench. I play them in fourth, but them coming off the bench is a huge boost.


You know what they say: its now who starts the game, but who is in at the end of the game.

I get huge sparks from Udonis Haslem and Stephen Graham. Anthony Morrow sometimes gives me a good game, but I run the offense through Graham and Haslem when they are on the court.

Re: Sparks off the Bench in Association

In my Cavs Association, I had someone win the Sixth Man Award 3 years in a row:

2011: B. Davis

2012: J.J. Hickson

2013: Derrick Williams

In 2014, Antwan Jamison does well off the bench and D. Gibson is the "second banana" / "Seventh Man" that is the second option on offence for my second team every year...

I like to start a defensive specialist at SF and bring a solid scorer off the bench to try and light up the CPU's second unit...

For the Timberwolves I can consistently get it going with Jonny Flynn, Wayne Ellington and Anthony Randolph.

Mickael Pietrus, the guy is so awesome. He can shoot from outside and plays great defense.

Re: Sparks off the Bench in Association

My biggest players off the bench for the Sacramento Kings are...

James Harden at SG (averaging 5 rebounds a game)
Eugene Jeter at PG (manages to get 10+ points a game)
Samuel Dalembert at C (About 1-2 blocks a game)

Luke Babbit is money from anywhere on the court, plus during simulation of games, he drops a decent amount of points with efficiency.

I hate dude. I have him in my Knicks association as the starting 2 guard. I cant get his shot right, but he is ok on defense tho.

Re: Sparks off the Bench in Association

Courtney Lee has been a consistent spark off the bench for me. Either gets it going from hitting 3s and pushing on the break.

James Harden gets the job done for me
