good example that you could have such role players, the other guy makes a shot every 7 minutes that much behind the average of a player ;)

And yes i had two player like this in my roster in the past, and they usually shot at the end of the clock and not very often. And when they shot early, they normally had a quite normal percentage but because of the relativ high numbers of difficult forced shots the overall percentage of bad offense players was bad. And they also makes it more difficult to score for your team mates, because the defence will adjust for it(or something like the rating are included into the formula), the bb makes a quote in this direction i believe but also my experience tell me that.

Edit: but i think it is easier to implement such an defensiv option for a c then a guard, but you could look at old games of "TSV Bogen" for a concept of it.

You've obviously never seen a Scot Pollard play basketball.

Or Louis Amundson.

And Kendrick Perkins is a decent passer/shooter by amateur standards, not by KG standards.

Ben Wallace had a career fg of 48%. 48%. Not 40. Big difference. No NBA team would put up with a player having a career fg of <40. Yet you can find numerous such examples in this game. At the top level.

Isn't 30% shooting for a starting center a bit low, just a bit? Regardless of what shots he's taking.

212 9-25 1-7 8-9 3 19 23 12 7 5 17 27 TOTALS

he has 3 JS but half-decent IS (he's a PG). 25 shots in 212 minutes @ .360, I can live with.

While the defensive specialist jacks up 3s with 10 left on the clock.
that's all to do with offensive flow and experience across the five on court.

I'm not talking about rookies.

Shooting a 3 with 10 left on the clock when you're a less than average shooter and you have a player on the far side who is stupendous at it makes no sense. Unless you think you've suddenly been transported into the twilight zone.

2 problems here with your logic:

1. Can the average shooter guy get the ball to the stupendous shooter to begin with?? If he can't then the average shooter takes the ball...still better than no shot at all.

2. Is the stupendous shooter marked? If he is marked by another good defender, he might not be the best player to take the shot either. Its all about match ups.
