It is not ideal but for DIV III it should be killing. Try run and gun, princeton tactics him as SG and SF. Or reverse patient.

Idealy i would like 18JS+15JR, or 19JS+14JR and as much IS and PA as possible. IS and PA increase FG% alot. PA slightly decreases shot attempts, it doesnt shoot bat shots.

But 18+11 and 9IS is very nice player and manageable in competetive DIV II. Maybe your tactics are wrong.

Which of your players is he, is it Goins? If so, get him in good gameshape, he's been in 7 for the whole season it seems and that's not a way for him to be effective.

How is his stamina? If it's below 5, get that up so he can be more effective.

I'm assuming his PA isn't very bad otherwise he wouldn't be listed as PG, but low PA can also lead to bad shot selection because he's not able to make a good pass so he's forced to take bad shots.

Your offensive flow doesn"t seem bad either, but good flow (good HA/PA on most players) can lead to better shots because assisted shots have a higher %.

His shooting skills are plenty good for your division.

Tue question to address is:
Are JS and JR added or multiplied?
Anything else is a pointless babbling.

There’s no proof behind this, but something I’ve been noticing lately is that guys with high JS and lower DR shoot at a better % than those with high JS and DR.

I’m not sure what the reason may be for this, but I’ve noticed it with my team. Feel free to look at my team, as I can guaranty you my guys don’t have the greatest shooting. Pretty average at best, honestly, compared to other in the league.

guys with high JS and lower DR shoot at a better % than those with high JS and DR.

This is natural when 20IS guard can only manage to actualy lay in or dunk 1 out of 4 dunks/layups Imagine what is the difference with low IS, exactly one you are having now. You have better shot distribution because lower DR. It used to be dunks, layups and assisted shots most efficient, nowadays they are LEAST efficient.

So far it is speculation, small sample size. But in lithuania community i am not alone. Seems like this season game engine changed drastically, while season ago it was tweaked only minorily. This season borderline NT players are laying bricks, seems like they changed proffesion

Most of the tactics are working differently, cannot recognize them. I had been playing LI in LI era many season, got back after like 20+ season absence, catched up, nothing changed drasticly even if you compare 40 seasons ago (ofcourse tsp inflated, secondaries inflater, training speed inflated, salaries deflated; but despite these nothing drastically changed, was so eazy to ge tback on track), untill this season, i see games and they just do not feel right anymore (they felt OK after 20+ seasons break and last 6 seasons also.

Will try to do statistical analysis on this season and 2 seasons ago later, i think we got to the point, where eye test seems correct, but no data available

I just read what you all wrote about JS And JR and how everything imporant is, but pls explain, i have ap layer that has 15 JS and 18 JR and he only shoots less then 30% from 3pt line? :D Last season it was around 30% also.. Makes no sense at all :)
