I know, i forgot to make the post to everyone:-)

Well, up til now i had just been playing like a zombie regarding my PF/Cs. Although i make sure to have some extra skills i havent really been paying attention to what influences what, i was too busy trying to understand my guards better.

Comparing my own trainees i find it suggest that driving matters. The ones with higher levels of driving have higher percentages. Some of the difference i think might be in some players playing weaker opposition as one player contradicts the theory, which of course might cast some doubts on the case.

But still, i feel its worth giving my trainees some driving.

If you have bad passers you might need driving. Everyone looks at his own games and thinks what his team is missing. No need to argue about this.

I guess that big men just teleport themselves from under one basket to under the other and back than


...with some sort of quantistic effect, I would add!

in fact, that would explain how my C caught a def rebound and 4 seconds after slammed the ball on the other side of the court ;)

Both of your C-s are shooting 43% looking at the team statistics...

and if this is true,
ur driving center goes more to the basket and thus misses more,
another thing people on this thread didnt realize,if ur SG has JS and JR,lets say strong,and his IS is lower than average, he is going to miss a lot of shots,especially if u play,look inside,low post...and it's going to be really poor if thats combined with,lets say, strong driving...
consider this in ur next purchase...
peace

I think Driving is not correlated with Inside Scoring for guards... Look at this my player:

Jump Shot: wondrous Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: tremendous Handling: tremendous
Driving: wondrous ↑ Passing: strong
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: awful Free Throw: average

Experience: strong

His Inside Shot is pitiful, his Jump Range is inept, and yet he averages 50.6 % of his FG, and 52.6 % from the 3pt line... He mostly has at least a decent FG%, no matter what offense I play... That can be only due to Driving, or maybe his strong Experience... In tonight's game, he's 6-10 from the field, and I'm playing Look Inside... Most of his drives end up successfully... So, Inside Shot doesn't mean so much for guards with good Driving...

And btw, I play in first league, so he's facing the best defenders...

So what you're really saying is that jump range is more useless than shotblocking?

The player about whom this thread was started is twice as good as the above guy in JR and 3 steps lower in JS. After his last 2-11 ( 1-6 3pt ) performance he is shooting 36% from the floor and a miraculous 23% from behind the arc.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

No, I was trying to say that Driving matters a lot... This player of mine is efficient from the 3pt line, but he doesn't shoot a lot of 3's... After he missed one last night, he's now 10-20 in 14 games... But he went 9-13 FG, and I played Look Inside, so Inside Shot is not that important to guards...
