It's easy with all the positions, you just get shit luck sometimes. I have a 6-11, 192lb SF (from those dimensions you should be able to tell that I'm recreating people from an old Live 2000 franchise) and went for 23/18/15 with 5 blocks in his first NBA game and he's rated 53 overall. I have a 47 rated center/power-forward who can consistently get 10/15/4 with 3 blocks.
Really, you just have to know the limitations of the player along with how the game works. When you're rated poorly you can't take the ball every possession and try to dunk on everyone but you can be extremely effective with positioning, taking advantage of situations that arise and reacting quickly. You know, like real life.
You can get places by pounding the ball into the floor and taking stupid shots (insert list of endless number of players who made millions doing this) but you don't get as much on-court reward as if you play smartly and exploit your skills properly.
