I have to agree with the fact that 0-48 is quite ridiculous. Because a 0% of sucess in FT means that atrocious skill level is equal to never succeed. The guy could go 0-100, or in some cases I've seen around, 0-140 in the season.

If this makes sense, then by logic an atrocious passing skill should lead to an endless couting of TO's - since he wouldn't connect not even one pass. Because passing is not used only for assist couting, but for preventing TO's as well.

I think FT, like game shape and resistance, should be limited to profiency level. Because it's pointless to have a lvl14 in any of these, since the matchup with defender (like inside defense vs inside shooting, outside defense vs handling and so on) doesn't happen.

Starting with 25, up to 95 is a good thing.

you're absolutely right. The same is with rebounds. I got player with lowest rebounds' skill and:

average time per game: 19 minutes
average rebounds per game: 1,7


So how he's able to do something without any single skill?

Mentioned 1,7 is something similar to 20-30 % of FT efficiency - and it is exacly what I was expected from that game :)

There is no reason to compare these skills.

And why?
a)maybe his opponents were bad rebounders too; it also matters what his position in the game is
b)Sometimes the ball just bounces your way. All you have to do is to have two hands any at least one eye to see thew ball coming to you. No skill needed. (ok this a relity-wise argument and BB is just a game)

Rebounds have different structure of training than FTs have. i don't see any valid argument that impact of level of skill of one should emulate the other.

but you could have atrocious free throws and still hit 30% from the line, with high atrocious you made in average 20-25% i would say.

But rebounds are calculated a different way then free throw, because it is a team skill ...

So my player with atrocious inside shot could make layers, because i got an solid inside attack which helps everyplayer on court to finish inside. In free throw it's a think for the single player alone.
