There haven't been any major sim changes in the last 6 months (which you'll notice before long is commonplace around here), so these guidelines should still work, so long as they were effective in February.

Is there a reason why you're favoring forwards and centers over guards when it comes to usage?

Do you get any advantage for drafting higher than normal usage guys? Teams average 100% usage when taking into account all 48 minutes at each position. If you are at 110%, will your guys shoot a higher percentage due to superior shot creation?

Is there a way to see TS on this site instead of the inferior eFG? I can use basketball reference, but they don't have the estimated data for older players.

(1) No, I just gave one example of how to build a team (not saying this is the absolute best).

(2) You need enough usage% to avoid possession penalties. There comes a point where more usage% doesn't have a positive effect on your team.

(3) Not currently.

Well you are paying for usage so too much usage means that you are paying for points that your team will never score. From what I have seen anything over 120 usage on the court really starts to hurt your team.
