No you are wrong.. Driving helps players get their own shots off, without the need of a good pass, IS is any shot from the FT line in.. So, having low IS could have made him shoot poorly.. My SG has strong IS and gets about 4 dunks a game with an average driving... IS is important for all players... peace

No you are wrong.. Driving helps players get their own shots off, without the need of a good pass,

Perhaps we are both right? My opinion is that there are two types of shots - driving shots and inside shots. For the driving shot, the skill needed the most is driving (of course). Some inside shot is useful but driving is the primary skill required. It is mostly guards who take the "driving shot", followed by SFs, although I have seen PFs and Cs take driving shots, too (but less frequently).

Then there are inside shots. I don't know where an inside shot begins and ends, however (in terms of distance). I have never heard anything about your hypothesis that it is from the FT line in but that could be true. Anyhow, inside shots are the ones where the player needs a good pass or (maybe?) to be able to use their driving skill to get open. After that, the skill most needed would be inside shot.

Some people say that jump shot is needed for every kind of shot, whether it be an inside shot or an outside one. I don't know if that's true but if you take the rules literally, I guess you could interpret it that way.

Anyhow, these are just my interpretations and why I say that a guard needs driving more than inside shot. However, I have no proof. Perhaps you could provide some of your own proof, besides just one player's stats? Because there are many reasons I could think of for a high shooting percentage. For example, he could be only facing guards with atrocious inside defense.

hmm i would like to ask some questions

you said your guy has sensational driving, i really havent analyze your game or even look at it.

if the defense was done correctly then i would say it has it effects,

another, does this player has passing skills? to me should be at least average, why ? if this is your best scorer n your team then by all means even the most stupid coach will know to guard him most of the time., the GE does adjusts!

so if he dont have passing surely he will either force the shot or pass it in a ineffective manner to his teammates and cant do anything about it once they catch it or probably be an awkward postion.

also how is your guys handling skills, i dont know about you guys, but i have analyze handling to equate to driving, why? its like a grade for crossovers or dribbling. though how good you are in the ability of driving if you dont have the dribble to support it, the rate of success wouldnt be that high.

same goes to handling effects to travelling, the better the defense the harder for your guard to push the ball effectively.

( this are all me ok )

also, though you equate your guy as having sensational driving and doesnt need passing to create his own shots.

you have to look as i said to the defense, how are your teammates, if their passing is not enough then your sg will have to do a lot of work to be able to create a shot.

its a % game,he might be having a hard time doing it all by himself or simply his a selfish trigger happy guy

handling = tremendous
passing = mediocre

so if IS is from the foul line and in i guess Shaq and Howard should make that shot.

In real life terminology an Is shot is a low post move not a high post. That would mean from 8 feet and in generally speaking, or a better way of explaining it is where you would double up versus not. Most big men you wont double up on the high post as players like Kobe and Pierce you would.

so you are saying when Al Jefferson makes his 12 foot Jump hook(80% of the time) it is not an IS? That is crazy. We are not talking about FT's but shots from 15ft in. That is an IS in Basketball.

¿and enthusiasm effect? both things were related in the news:

3. We have changed the way in which the home court advantage and enthusiasm effects scale across talent levels. For highly skilled teams these effects will be reduced, for middle of the road teams this effect will be relatively unchanged, and there will be a small bump in home court advantage for weaker teams. In effect, we hope to return home court advantage to a state in which each division will have approximately the same home team winning percentage.

I'll be happy if you can explain why my best Guard reduced from 42% FG last season to just 30% He was in France NT 21 last season, not he is so bad...

maybe the other guards become stronger, or your team weaker so that he had to take more difficult shots ;)

And in BB 30% is still good, 40% 3 Pt shooter are pretty less, and normaly have a lot of luck.

And he shots that with the old engine ;)

then explain to me why Dwight Howard does not take a 12ft jumper. Key word jump shot. It is not called a 12 foot post move or a 12 foot inside shot. An inside shot is generality a move with your back to the basket or while going to the hoop like a hook shot.

So yes i'm saying when Jefferson takes a 12 ft shot it is a jump shot not a IS. If it was counted as an inside shot then when you make player like Gasol he would have a JS rating of 8-9 because he can hit a 12 ft shot and Shag would have a 2 or 3 cause he cant.

His 3P FG is 20% 30% is his global FG.

Last season it was 30% 3P and 40% Global. It's a big difference and about his opponents strength look this match: (13104670) , for example.

41% is his global fg ;)

But in the league games are no changes to last season, ok one little tweak with home court advantage. i look at his last match 1-9 looks pretty bad, but it was on a LI game where from time to time so guards go crazy from the 3 point line especially if the opposing defense is strong.

Edit: and additional you shots alot 3Pointers in the last minute to catch up, this are very hard shots you won't hit with 40% because you take every 3 Pointer even if the opposing player is in your face.
