If IS beats ID, you will shoot well
If flow beats PD, you will shoot well
If neither of the above is true you wont shoot well
If either of the above is true you will probably shoot well

So so true. i just beated a team with 12 and 13 id and not so bad guards which were AROUND 13OD AVERAGE TOO. With LI and my is levels were 8on pg 8on sg 8on sf 9on pf 6 on center, backup center is 6 backup sg and sf 7 each:D well 3 of starting lineup had passing of 14 14 and 15. So to run Li is insanely easy:D

Its my first win in Div 3 and its eazy cause i used LI. With 14 14 11 14 11 jumpshots as starting lineup i failed hardly outside tactics. Tried for a fun Li and won lol...
the funy thing is i managed to have not so bad 99,6 ppp rating at center with 6 is:D another funy thing is oponent runing outside ofense used to have 124,9 rating against 10 od 11sb and 11 id center. not to mention they dunked like 4 times and drawed some fouls.

so if you have good flow you win with li no need

To sum up it seems like you need atleast 35 js to beat 20 is guys at highest level:D

If you look at the box my outside scoring is way better than his PD (10>8)...but I hardly shoot well at all from range, or jumpers.

I shoot well on the game, but its mostly layups that actually go in, from outside the paint?..horrible...but rating SHOULD suggest otherwise...

My OD superb, his shooting bad...but he shoots about the same as me from the floor...

There's something odd with the shooting in general I think though. I have a guy who is a good jumpshooter who reliably shoots significantly better on contested jumpers than on open ones (sample size of over 2 seasons, always plays as a G or SF so no position funkiness, discrepancy is 80-147 for contested vs. 62-148 for uncontested). Meanwhile, I have guys with far less JS who shoot a much higher percentage than that on open jumpers, but less well on contested ones, also over roughly the same number of shots. I'm not sure if it's just some sort of hidden attribute measuring how some guys may shoot lights out when open and collapse under pressure vs. guys who focus more when contested, or some very odd random distributions that happened for two seasons in a row or what, though. But it's not exactly ideal when you're hoping that your player isn't open because he's more likely to score shooting over someone else.

I've had the same experience with a former SF (13333283). He had 11 JS, 7 JR, 8 or 9 DR, and 7 IS. He always seemed to shoot better, especially when it came to shooting threes, which baffled me.

I'm to lazy to do the math now, but my gut tells me, you're still not having a significant sample size .


By the way, I got some very good results employing the 2-3-zone recently. I won the championship and my first two BBB matches using it:

(62459781)
(62459783)

(65259349)
(65259451)

Though to be fair, i didn't win by stopping the inside attack, but by dominating the boards.

IT should be interesting to see which ones of those contested jump shots area being assisted. Guys with high JS and lower DR/HA tend to "attract" passes from other players. Guys with high DR/HA usually don't depend on other players' passing since they can create their own shot; that's why they can get more open looks than the low DR/HA guy. Since open looks are easier to convert, guys with high DR/HA don't need high JS for hitting open looks. However their FG% of contested shot is usually very poor. Not only they have not been assisted, but they have lower JS.

when is B3 transfer deadline? Are those salaries final?

I'm happy Torooo is back :)
