"Will a guard with awful or below inside defense get burned by a guard with good driving if my opponent is playing look inside?"

i dont think you will get burned if your opponent's guard has much driving.

So, for example, if I play man to man and my guard has atrocious defense, while my opponent's plays look inside his guard would be just as likely to attempt a layup with tremendous driving as with atrocious driving?


Have you examined this issue, or are you speculating? Because if you are correct, the game engine doesn't reflect real basketball.


If anyone has looked into this and has a good idea of how much different factors weigh into a guard driving to the hoop, let me know.

i think it is a bit of everything ;) Driving is used here mostly for creating your own shots, and it also helps on outside shoots.

It is helpful for Inside shots, and if i understand the BB right moe important then IS for this issue:

(33639.14) (i believe this BB quote is about Guards only, otherwise i have problems to compare it with my experience)

I would say the counterpart for IS the ID isn't that important too.

Also i should notivce, that in italian NT driving was long time a "no go" training for their guards, and like everyone knows they had succes with it and also could play inside(and it wasn't that eyecatching in the cscoring of their guards).

i thought you said that a guard with much driving will crush a guard with less ID,

not how likely they are too take a layup.

Aren't those two issues related though? If a guard never drives to the basket, they'll never score a layup. In basketball, once a person has driven past his man to the hoop, it's usually too late to stop the layup (unless you name is Dwight Howard and you rotate over to defend).

i'm just saying that the main purpose for driving isn't layups

this is what i would say too, however somehow I have the feeling that driving is connected to inside shooting, because my guards miss a hell off a lot driven shots and although the skills for my guards arent that high in general, I am certain they are very high for my league... They are prominent, prolific and proficient.

Does your opponent SG have a high level of inside shoot? If not, then you don't need to worry about your SG's inside defense. Because even if your opponent SG plays inside and has a good driving ability, he can't get points with a poor inside shoot.
Generally, your opponent SG does not have high inside shoot, so your own SG does not need to have high inside defense.

if his opponent choose to play Man to man, not zone.
