My understanding is that handling prevents turn overs where as driving creates shots/gets you to the basket. They are very closely related skills and training one will almost always train the other

based on that, I would love to see a C/PF with high driving and excellent IS.

Why? Big men are already near the rim. They rarely need to drive the ball. Plus successful driving requires good handling too.

Not always - for example with Outside tactics C and PF make even some shots from perimeter, so it prooves that they can get the ball not near the rim.... So if they get the ball there, there are several option how to continue: Pass, Throw or drive. That's why it is recommended for the Bigs to have at least JS at any level to nake at least something with the ball :)

My personal point of view is that it is much better to have PF with high Driving and JS - it will help really a lot in any case, but decent Handling is also needed as well as Pass :) So it is always difficult to find such multiskilled PF, but for C the situation is more simple - At least JS... Just in case of something... Pass is always good, others - good of there is some figures rather than 1, but no need to worry if there is nothing interesting there...

Handling = less TO = less 3s violation, traveling, miscatch pass

driving = driving shot for 2pt or driving and dishing for an assist

Yes. They are near the rim. Most of the time. Not all the time of course. That's why I said they rarely need to drive. And you said they're not always near the rim. I agree. That's why I said they rarely need to drive. LOL You're saying the same thing.

And big men shooting 3s proves nothing cause I didn't say they're all the time below the rim. :)

And now on the serious note. I don't think 15 driving is usefull if your big guy will end up on perimeter in just 5% of the time. And that 5% you have to divide and give some percentage to shooting, turn overs/passing and driving. Just my opinion.

Aren't post moves included under driving? Because it allows you to create your own shot which is under driving in the game manual. If they are, this may be the use of driving for big men.
