How do you feel about Inside Iso? Is it a viable option at some point in the next few seasons, and is there a way we can build a team to play II?

Inside iso is definitely an interesting tactic. It can be very useful if you have guards with good IS and driving because they can take many shots against the opposition's guards with not the best ID. However, at this point and time I dont think we could really transition to that type of offense. It would require guards to be trained more in IS than they have been and that can take away from other abilities we may need now.

As you have seen on the offsite we have been talking about different molds we could turn our future players into to potentially make a run in the future. However, sometimes its not always good to be different. We have seen teams do different things recently with their players and be a little successful but we cant jump ship from what we have and try to be different too. Inside Iso wouldnt be a complete jumping of the ship but is it really better than a LI? LI is the most dominate tactic in the game right now and because of that I dont feel a different inside tactic would be the way to go. However, like I said, if we are fortunate enough to have guards in the future with good IS without the penalty of losing skills in the guard positions then it may be something to try in a scrimmage to really see if it could be pulled off.

I hope that answers your question Panic.

However, do you have SUPER DUPER Buzzerbeater best friends? I wonder if just "best friends" is enough to win?

My question is this:

Since percentage wise very few US players care about the National Team, what is your plan for making them give a flying squirrel about it?

The guy that answers this question better gets my vote

The adjective that best describes Edju is___________________

I want at least 2 sentences with at least 3 reasons why you like that adjective.

Not running, but I think that I shall answer this.

The adjective that best describes Edju is juicy.

Firstly, and most obviously, Edju is juicy because of his old name GM-JuicePats, and there is no way that anyone's name on BB can be misleading towards their actual selves. Secondly, I find that Edju is an overly scrumptious name that has a delicate ring to it, and anyone that hears that name for the first time is instantly craving a nice dinner of a juicy steak and some fruit punch flavored Juicy Juice (I know I did!). Lastly, and possibly the most appropriate reason, is the recent Super Bowl loss of his beloved team the New England Patriots. It is rumored that Edju, after crying for an hour and smashing his TV with a hammer, tried to decide how he could have prevented the loss. He decided to get juiced up on steroids so he can take the field next year and be the most intimidating middle linebacker in the league until he fails his drug tests.

And that my friends, is how I would describe Edju with one word.

A couple questions for all candidates:

1. Why are you running?
2. Why are you the best candidate?
3. What do you think went wrong with this season?
4. How could you, as NT manager, help fix the problem(s)?

I have a question regarding farm teams.

I know there are many teams that are primarily training u21 and NT players for other countries without any regard for winning or promoting. Seeing as one of the main problems for our NT seems to be finding users willing to shoulder the burden of training NT players despite how expensive it gets, how do you feel about this practice?
