Do we know exactly how Shot Blocking works? For instance, on the 0-2 Jump Shots, perhaps his better shot blocking allowed him to 'Contest the Shot' forcing the misses. And perhaps Shot Blocking is why it went from 'Unguarded Post Points' to at least having a Defender on him to increase the chances of a miss.

Again, I have no idea how SB works or if it affects shots (other than by blocking them).

(I see now that moutlinho says SB does 'alter the shot', still I don't know how often or to what degree.)

We all see games and players that go 6-6 at HT and you just know they will finish up 7-12 come the end of the game....

The example works nicely in this case but I would contribute the reversal in scoring down to 'averages' and not because of the personnel change.

It's really complicated to appreciate the effect of SB...

The problem is that BB-Charles wasted lot of time saying SB was important, but when we suggested(more than 2 times) to have a rating of SB like we have with offensive movement, we never have got an answer.

True. I'm beginning to love 1 on 1 FWDs, I'm playing nearly the whole team off-position every game.
