First off, how did you avoid the clone glitch? This is the one terrible thing about the game.
As for points, if you want to be a dominant player right away it is best to choose one area and go with that. The easiest way to do this is offense, either shooting, driving, or posting. One thing that really helps any offensive game is consistency. it really helps you keep your player from going cold and keeps you from having off games. Once you get that to where you can really attack most defenses then either round out your offense to make you a more consistant, dominant scorer or try to go defense.
If you want to have the best overall rating then improve the mental ratings. This won't make you a great player but it will boost your overall for cheap.
Personally I try to balance it more so my player improves in all areas and is the best all around player he can be. This might limit my ability to dominate and take over games at first bu it allows me to put up decent all around numbers.
The last player I tried was a 6'10" back to the basket PF. By mid december I was a 60 overall, starting, scoring over 20 most games and having one with 38, grabbing double digit rebounds about half the time and being close the rest of the time, blocking a few shots here and there, around .8 per game, averaging over 2 assists per game and less than a turnover per game.
What I was doing was adding 5 points to an offensive rating, then 5 to defense, then 5 to physical, then 5 to mental. Most of my offensive ones went to the post game since that was my bread and butter but I put some into shooting and offensive rebounding as well. Defensively I spread it out between rebounding, blocks, post defense, and a little on ball defense. Physical I went mostly with stamina but put a little into vertical to help with the rebounding and shot blocking and a little into speed to help guard the occasional SF that I got stuck on and a little into strenght to help with the post defense. Mentally I went mostly with consistancy and a little into clutch offense.

Wow man you have this down to a science.
I definitely hear you on the consistency tip, I have mine at 99 and it totally prevents your player from having off nights.
But to answer your question, I avoided the clone glitch by doing this: Once I finished my summer league games, there was a screen asking me to select which team's training camp I wanted to attend. At that screen, I didn't select anything, and instead exited straight out of the game to the xbox dashboard. I restarted the game and once I loaded my player, it said that I was invited to Cleveland's training camp, which was the same team I did summer league with, thus avoiding a duplicate player on another team. As of now, this is the only workaround until the patch.
But again man I dig your strategy. How far into the season are you? Only gripe I have is that now I get the starting nod over LeBron some games, and I think we could be more effective if LeBron and I started. His minutes and status are well below what he's accustomed to. I'm only putting up 21 and 8 boards, playing strictly within the offense.
Let's here some more strategy/stories fellas! I'm an addict for this mode!
