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...
