First example on my mind is situation, when clock is near limit of time.
After shot there is always chance to score, foul or offensive rebound. I think it's always better to make 3 point shot, even if shoter is the worst in team, than to lose ball.

yeah, I never could understand that myself. I had this 7'4" behemoth manning the middle and once in a while he'd end up shooting a tre. Most of the time I attributed it to being completely out of position and not having a lick of sense in his head to be down in the paint where I requested that he be considering the offense was a Low Post or Look Inside offense. I'm not sure he took jump shots though considering he towered over most of his competition. He might've though of it as a longer free throw .... but too bad his free throw was awful or else it might've been worth him taking those shots.

Get better offensive flow.

offensive flow can help. if you have a player with great passing then it will be easy for the low post players to have a position in the paint. and also the experience. the low post player will not just jack up three's if he had a better experience in the game.

personally my player could all hit the three, but before it was like that it was pretty rare. But you sometimes do it, when you are under high pressure, the clock is running down or when the opposing player sinks down really really deep.

the biig man 3 is a good weapon if u known how to use it XD

My belief is that its dependent on how much of an advantage he has over the defense, in reading the game manuals it makes sense. for example....

Your guards have say 13 and 13 (js jr) they're better shooters than a big guy that has even say 3 and 3 (JS JR), but the guy guarding your guards has 13 OD whereas the big guy guarding your big guy has atrocious OD... the matchup says the big guy should take the shot due to him having the bigger advantage although his percentage of making the shot is less than the guards even with the defense in their grill. To take it a step farther if it gets to that big guy and he has poor passing and he has that advantage however small it is, perhaps the game engine calculates its a better play for him to shoot the 3 than pass and risk a turnover.

In playing this game for the time i have i've noticed big guys that had atrocious outside d that were put on the TL with teams in my league then werent sold and it was those matchups that my big guys seemed to hoist the one "stupid" shot, my thinking has always been the game engine is going to see the math equation not the logic.

Still, I think, it's unrealistic, that a PF with awful JS is almost guaranteed a make vs your atrocious OD PF.

a match up is a mach up if he find a an opportunity he will take his chance
