The game is designed to give the ball to the best player for the shot during the play with your offensive playstyle in mind. You played an outside low paced offense and as a result your PG/SG took the most shots and plays tended towards the outside of the court and the 3 point area. It's not your player's fault the GM told the coach to make the players play a tactic designed for players that have strong JS and JR. Looking at it more, I'd say it's a massive testament to Jeffrey Kelly's skill that he tossed in so many threes for your team. Mesic on the other hand needs to be trained how to shoot the ball.

As for your C being put in at PG, that will happen when your PG fouls out (as he did) and you have no one to back him up. What's the coach going to do? Put a Lucky Fan in place of the now missing PG? No, he's going to look at the players on the bench, figure out which one will work the best and put him in. At that point, your Center isn't a Center. He's a PG. And the play will continue as if he is one. That's why he was given the ball at the end. If you want to avoid those situations, make sure you have a better backup set up for your positions.

Looking at that game, other than the game engine throwing out (flavor) lines regarding where the shots took place although they all used the same offensive skill, I see nothing really surprising about the outcome. I also see nothing wrong with the game engine in the cases you bring up. The Viewer maybe, but not the engine. Hard to fix what isn't broken.

The fact that he put a C at PG doesn't seem odd? Interesting you think that. And yes I played an outside game in anticipation that players who can shoot from outside would do so. Not that players with no business shooting from outside would do so. Being a defensive specialist can make a player the best onthe team but that doesn't make them the best option at the buzzer. I would have rather seen kelly, dyer, Cuevas, zvozil, paraga or even the center who was playing pg as a center take the last shot... but it made moors sense to the comp to have a terrible shooter try to shoot over a far superior defender..but ur right that makes sense....???
