to me, the key question is when did your PG take his shot? the way i envision (your) Patient offense operating is he begins a series with a pass, teammates pass (effectively, not losing the ball), eventually getting the ball back to the PG who then realizes his shot has the best chance of succeeding, and shoots -- and this takes 20 - 24 seconds.

this is different than if the PG comes down looking immediately for the shot.

a third scenario, i suppose, is what we see with LeBron at PG at times in game 2: he has the ball out front, kills the clock, and with 8 seconds looks for his shot.

can the rest of your squad pass well?

so does it mean Passing will be considered first before Driving?

and also, does high Passing means a player will look to Pass more?

and lastly, does the passer do not consider the driving and passing of his teammates?

Yes I guess you would call him catch and shoot, but its more 'JaVale' Catch and Shoot than 'Kobe' catch n shoot.

Therefore I would predict that 50% of the time he would drive and 50% of the time he would pass.


Or, our universe splits into two universes. In one he passes the ball, in other he drives. Unless he's Kobe, then he doens't pass :)

if your right sir, then:

1. to create a pass first players, you will need to have a high level of passing and a mediocre level of driving.
2. it is a big help for the scorers to have some passing.

im just not convinced that it works like this. I know it seems logical, but i have just seen too many examples where this doesn't happen.

eg: Why does a PG player with slightly poorer driving than passing, in a patient offense, still drive 75% of the time? And then only hit 30% of his shots?

So im just not convinced that you can create a 'pass first' player, UNLESS there is a drastic difference in the passing and driving and EVEN THEN, i think its also assoicated with jump shot and jump range and inside shot.

eg:: Driving - mediocre - Passing - Marvelous

That level of difference.
