I have a couple of guards whit atrocious IS, and they make plenty of lay-ups.

I'd say as long as your guards have plenty of jump shot, jump range and driving skill, their inside shooting ability doesn't matter.

So would you say that a guard with atrocious IS and respectable Driving is better than one with pitiful IS and average Driving?

i dont like ANY atrocious skill, but maybe inside shot (besides blocking) for guards and jumprange for centers are the ones scraping through.

just my 2 cents

That sorta sounds like finishing at the basket is not as important as getting there.

It sound more like, you don't need to be Shaq to make a wide-open layup.

While it is true that you do not to be Shaq in order to get a wide open lay out, having IS in your guards do help them to convert inside shots when facing other players down the basket who are not a Shaq.

in my opinion it depends on what your strategy is, if you play alot of look inside or even princeton to some extent, then its very nice to have guards with decent inside shot because more often than not guards dont have good inside defense. If you are a motion or run & gun type of team then inside shot doesnt account much for guards at all.

I understand what you are saying now. I was thinking of driving as a skill rather than an ability. It is true that there are "slashers"(penetrating to the basket/driving) who have a hard time doing layups(inside shot).

What I try to figure out is what to do with one of my young guards. He got off to a nice start, but his performance (particularly his shooting percentage) dropped significantly since then. In league games his numbers are most distressing with only 9/64 FGs, or 0.141.
For his 2 pointers he got 0.167, which is not good at all.

His ratings in the matches are actually ok, his relevant skills:

JS: 7, JR: 7
DR: 4, IS: 2

I figure it is a problem with his covert skills, but maybe he just lacks too much Inside Shot skill. For the most part I play without focus, often Patient.

Can anyone help me nail this problem?

Cheers, Exos
