(1) shoot, (2) drive + shoot, or (3) pass.
Again, I think that if a player gets an opportunity sufficiently close to the basket, then (2) is not an option. But that's just me.
I think that if he's not open then (1) is not an option... Unless your player is inexperienced and likes to take a lot of shots that he can't make, or if the shot clock is almost finished.
I still wonder if the driving skill can be used on any type of shot. For example - the text "player x backs off slightly" - just before an offensive player takes a jump shot. My personal interpretation of this is: the offensive player makes a nice drive to the inside, forcing the defender to back off. Then the offensive player pulls up and takes a jump shot.
