This lead me to another question somewhat similar. Does this mean that your post players are affected by driving? As in should my center be good at driving to have higher percentage chances of when he makes a strong move to the hoop or comes crashing in and all that?


From the rules:

Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.

I take that to mean it effects every shot taken in the game to a greater or lesser extent.

I think that even jump shooters are affected by driving. Otherwise I have no explanation how an atrocious jump shooter with pitiful jump range and respectable driving could go 2 for 3 on three pointers when I play low post offense.

A valid point. Not all ATROCIOUSes are equal. Some are much closer to PITIFUL than others. Luck explains a lot. After all if something is a 10,000 to one shot in any given game, it happened 5 times (on average) in this week's 52305 games played.

My interpretation is this player had two wide open, unguarded shots and got extremely lucky twice. It might not happen again for months.
