Does a PF need Outside defense or driving? with the exception of the opponents team having outside based offense. I also heard that in defending mid range jumpshots (PFs do it) you need both outside defense and inside defense.

does it make a difference if my PF has low DR or high DR?

I'd say that every skill makes a difference, but sometimes only a tiny one.

That being said, I believe Driving is very valuable for inside SFs. A PF with high Driving and sufficient OD can play SF and still get many inside shots. At the PF position itself, it's less important, but might still help if you're playing a fast-paced offense.

i like OD, or at least it is my explaination for my last two succesful seasons because i didn't saw advantages in other positions ;)

About Driving, i rate it pretty low, i have two offensiv talented PF/C in my rows who often played together and switch their positions depending on training more often.

The 12/8/14/11(JS/JR/IS/DR) guy finished with 14,9 Points in 35,3 min (+1 JS at the beginning of the season, and a driving up in the middle)
The 10/5/15/4(JS/JR/IS/DR) guy finished with 13,8 Points in 35,8min

They also played SF from time to time, the second one more often because he didn't get trained anymore ;)

Edit: But the driving training is cool, because it trains handling, insideshot and Jumpshot ;) So when you buy i would ignore it mostly when you train your players, i wouldn't ignore it.

do some offenses use driving for PF? or are they pretty much the same?

i played mostly motion and look inside, the rest wasn't working so good with my team so i can not answer it exactly. But personally i think the effect of driving isn't big indepent from tactics - maybe the new isolation needs driving more.
