What Is The Most Important Position to Have a Quality Back-Up (NBA)

[CJ]

i would say pg or center usually but the fact that theres like no true centers left and most are jumpshooters now imma say pg

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

pg, u need a back up that can at least run the offense and keep control while the starter rests...

 

[Kame]

pg.................................

 

[aijalon]

PG most definitely
Especially in the playoffs

 

[yroholla]

Center.....if u can't protect the paint, Game over....cause realistically, even the best perimeter defenders can't stop the best scorers in the game all the time...most freethrows are a result of penetration in the paint so u need a smart Center who can alter shots n not pick up fouls

nba aint checkin for positions anymore. dudes fill in holes in each of the positions these days.

a team needs a backup scorer. someone who can score when their main guy can't score or get any penetration cause he is locked down getting double-teamed all night. so a team needs someone else aka a backup to step in and put it in the hole, create penetration, etc...cause its extremely hard for guy to do it all himself night in and night out. nh@ this tho

 

[daboyag1]

definately point guard

 

[dat_bk_nicca]

pg or center but mainly pg

 

[ocelot]

PG... Spurs wouldnt have won it all in 03 if it wasnt for Speedy Claxton

Depends where your strength is, every position is important in the NBA...if I'm building a team and I have a top player somewhere, like PG..I'd think best would be a SF or C...someone who can rebound or get to the bucket...or someone who can catch lobs like my starting big man (since most foul trouble comes at the C position)...Gortat is a great backup, so is Felton...
