Does anyone know what factor decides how many 3pt attempts a player will attempt and what measure decides on how successful they are?

Or is this more of a positional thing?!

No, not the factor. But to have your players to try more 3pt attempts then play Princton tactic.

Motion will also give you a lot of 3s. It will also give you better looks, allowing your players to have a better shooting %.

I would play motion for outside shots if your players have good passing and handling skills (and of course good outside shooting).

Why do you say motion is not good away?
What is the difference between playing home and away?
Next game I play away against a team with very bad outside defense, what kind of tactic do you suggest me then?

Thanks, just trying to learn...

players shot accuracy in away games is much worse..at home thay use to make 8/15 and in away games 3/15..depends on opponets outside defense ..i didnt say it is bad tactic..just my opinion..for my players it is less efective in away games..

that's interesting about the home/away calculation.

Is there a specific skill which equates to the success of a player's 3 point shot ability?

You also need a good offensive flow. Otherwise your players will never be open when they take their shots. This means you need good team passing and handling. Driving helps your players to get open without a pass from a teammate.

So it is not as simple as jump shot + jump range.
