Not sure if it was discussed or not but remember that the number of passing depends not only on the passing-skill and the other players' ability to score or pass. The number of assists also depends also on the full skill-set of the player. Shooting and Driving damage assists number. That means that player will often try to score instead of passing. Example: (5830219). He could have assisted more times if he lacked driving. As the most of his scoring attempts are made with driving and not JS(he lacks it).

So not only simple passing skill has an influence on assists but the all skill-set.

I'd make a list of the factors that influence:
1. The skill set and the player's position.
3.The offensive tactics
2.The ability of the other players to score/assist
4.The defence of the opponent.

That's an ugly example. 36% shooting from a PG with that salary? I don't get it. If he's a good driver why doesn't he try to drive and dish instead? A coach would tell him to make more turnovers if he had to rather than take so many poor shots.

I like PGs, in fact the thing I like most about basketball is how guys like Rondo orchestrate the offence. Seems like if you try to create that type of player here he's going to cause a great deal of annoyance by continually taking bad shots. And he won't make enough assists.

I just did a search on the TL with >sensational passing and <respectable JS,JR and found some woeful shooting nos. There are PGs of a level 16 passing with strong experience shooting 28% for the season. On mid-table teams playing look inside. Clearly the engine isn't kind to PGs.

I wanted to get simply-passing PG, I waited for a long time and I couldn't do it more in order not to loose much in the league. BTW, my PG has
Driving: marvelous 15
Inside Shot: mediocre 5
Strange that he can't score more when he drives..


Clearly the engine isn't kind to PGs.

I see that most of the PGs have too much of driving. I think that is one of the main reasons of ugly shooting.

Driving improves the % of shot attempts made, it helps the player to score without the need of a good assist.


PD: The best PG's are those who have high driving(and also the SG's ;) )

Then what does PG lack having Dr=15? Last 2 games he played as SF in offence.

That's exactly what I've written some posts ago. Is not necessary to have a lvl 20 is enough to have one "decent" assistman and lvl 0 all the other players

So your PG's shooting 40% while your center's shooting 60%. As long as you're happy with the PPG..

Personally I wouldnt care how many points my star PG got as long as his shooting % was over 45. At least. This kind of game (23177367) would really annoy me. The PG's gone 7-25 playing for a respectable outside offence against a 2-3 zone with awful outside defence.
