Sent from my SM-G955U using Operation Sports mobile app
I maxed out my player who I created similar to my build in real life- 6 ft tall, 225 LBS PG with playmaker abilities.

I always pass the ball and look for open teammates rather than shoot but in every team that i've been on, I had at least 2 guys who either spammed useless threes or drove to the basket by sprinting to the rim without looking who's open who's not.

That experience led me to create another player with another account where I created a post-anchor center. As you pointed out even when these guards mess up the gameplay, I enjoy rebounding, cleaning the messes on the offensive boards, guarding the rim. Occasionally I get passes from guards when i'm available under the rim but sometimes they miss these passes and I get caught up in 3 second rule.
