I think in 10 minutes or less gets a base to ~90% capability. The candle warmer has given me much more consistency and I highly recommend it. Its trying to squeeze that last little bit out that you can spend endless time trying to achieve!
I think I see things from both Jimbo and Norberts percpective. Per what Norbert said, you obviously can't compete if you don't got some talent on those bases, but per Jimbos points, there is so much more to the game. Knowing your players, setting the opponent up, speed thinking, passing, making in game adjustments, being able to play multiple styles, etc.
