My guess is that SB helps your defense as well. IRL I find it really annoying if all defenders are keeping their arms up, always trying to block the shot. They make it harder for me to take a shot, isn't that part of shot blocking as well?

Wouldn't it be possible that shot blocking contributes a little to both OD and ID? More to ID than OD probably, but wouldn't that be realistic?

I don't think you can conclude wether SB is a valueable skill or not by just looking at the BLK/Game.

I agree with this...but the game engine model needs to do a better job approximating the real game and when it does, it should produce bpg stats that are similar to RL statistics (like it does with the other stats).

still it has to adjust

dalembert can block 7 times a game but at times not even one

nor did okafor

this dimension is important as to play this game, its amazing to see a last shot attempt being block on your stat sheet!

I don't have the exact info on this, but if you ask me which skills should go into the calculation of, for instance, inside defense I'd add blocking in the formula, yes.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

yeah i think so too... blocking will be more effective if it comes with a prominent (or at least strong) inside defense. like speed... it's not included in the ratings, but it is formed by having high handling and stamina/game shape (IMO)

i'm not sure if you could gain blocking from ID/OD... though i always thought that maybe it does.

i think shotblocking also affects the possibility to foul an inside shot
one of my best inside players has a very low shotblocking and he averages 3.6 fouls per game

I once proposed that every time a player blocks in a BB game not only should it be mentioned in the "live match report" but it also should automatically open a pop-up window with a video of Mutombo's finger wag.
