Depends on the tactics. If you are playing an inside oriented offence then Jump Range isn't as important. Jump Range is very important if you are playing mid range to outside oriented offences.

How high is your Jump Shot? I would train Jump Range up to Proficient or Prominent, but only if your Jump Shot is always equal to or higher than Jump Range.

I highly recommend doing so reseasrch on JR. Many of the top managers will not train it past prominent, there is a reason for that.

JR is a nice secondary imo but should not be your top skill. Focus on the primaries for your trainees(JS, OD) and then worry about JR.

I think JR is more important than most. I think it gets knocked because it increases salary by so much. However, its a trade-off between your economic situation and what you value.

I had a qs about this also. I was training Range for a few weeks but it takes way too long to pop, so I stopped. Plus, I have a couple of players with better range than JS and their shooting percentage is terrible. One of them has missed their last 15 shots! He has respectable range and inept shooting.

So it seems to me that JR is a terrible curse of a skill - its slow to train and is damaging if the player doesn't also have a good JS.

hmmm -- "respectable range and inept shooting". what exactly does that mean?

all his misses come from behind the three point line?

i have a similar player, though not quite as comical -- average jump shot and proficient range. he, too, misses from afar -- he's very good at that.

i like your phrase "a terrible curse of a skill" --

I bought a player with tremendous JS and tremendous JR. He's a mediocre shooter from inside the arch, but he can torch from the 3 pt line when he decides to stretch it out (which isn't nearly enough). One thing I've noticed is that he randomly pops up and takes 40 foot jumpers with regularity with time on the clock. No one else on my team will do this. I don't know if these things are indicative of the players extra jump range or not, but I'd recommend not going overboard with jump range. Definitely keep jump shot a ways higher in comparison.

I should also note that he's performing this way against 95% bot opponents which I can only hope have awful defenders. It's perplexing to me, but from what I conclude based on everyone's opinion on jump range coupled with my new found players results, it probably isn't worth it to train past prominent unless your jump range is significantly higher maybe.
