i'm just curious about the patient offense.. Most of the time, there's only 1 player who will get the very most attempts.. Just like in real isolation play..

An example at the center position: (35569529)

Patience can be really useful if you find big mismatches such as this one.

I think shots taken at the end of the shotclock are basically your best player going one on one. That's because your team tries to find your best player when unable to find a good look.
The rest of the shots are also mostly taken by your best player because your players run plays to set him up.

edit: To clarify, your best players will be shooting cutting to the basket or coming off screens, which is very different from isolation, even if he ends up taking most of the shots.
