Hi,

I have two centers with the same inside shooting skills (pretty high for the leve I'm at). One of them has better driving skills than the other and both of them are pretty bad at passing. The one with better driving skills scores 6 points more on average than the other one (which has a consistent but a bit disappointing performance in terms of scoring).

My question is, would the scoring performance of the center improve significantly if I train him on driving and passing skills. According to the rules driving and passing skills help creating your own shooting opportunities and receiving better passes.

Thanks

Thanks. To start with I'll try to improve his DR. Later on I will probably try to improve the passing skills of my centers as well because at the moment they lose balls like crazy.

Sort a tu també

I am training big men, and i usually playing LI. From my experience, i am very pleased from my big men, even with those that they have atrocious on PA/DR. I would like to have passing training for the big men thought. I think that passing is very important skill for any position. Unfortunately other than to put the C out of his position, to train passing, is team training who is painful slow.

Anyway my advice is to focus on there primary skills, than wasting training time those 2ndary skills

sure there are but their position usually turns to sf or pf :)

i think if your center is good at rebounding and inside shooting, then it is better his passing is low. so he wont look around when he gets the rebound and will go for a tip in. driving increases the scoring frequency for sure but not the efficiency. you have to combine driving with other offense skills or it might hurt you. handling is the most important one of those three for a big man.

go look it up in Transfer market. look for a respectable jumpshot and mediorce range 6'10 young player and train him yourself after you are happy with his inside skill convert him to Small man and train him even tough he might not do very well due to crappy handling and passing (more likely). advice: find a 6'8 guy and train him as a SF with more emphasis on Inside skill will result in a PF then you can play him as a C if you like provided that his inside skills are good enough.

not officially. but driving is about creating shots and this has got to do something like that. i am pretty sure it does not make your player's field goal percentage better.

i really do not think it helps, not use of course, but it might even increase the turnover (if handling is low) and lower the fg (if shooting is low). as i said earlier, it is nothing official but my experience.
