He's right. Your center has taken 20 shots whereas your guards have taken 90. It's like your center attempts one 3 pointer every game and scores one every two games. The other guys shoot more than 4 per game

Can you point us to the game in question?

I personally think you are oversimplifying the Pitiful(High) Perimeter Defense from the post-game scouting report.

What style of offense?
What defense did you face?

It could be that the player in question took a lot of contested shots if he's the best shooter on the team and while the team defense of your opponent was rated as Pitiful(High) in Perimeter Defense, maybe they focused solely on stopping that one player leaving the rest of your players to take more open shots.

That scouting report is just a blanket statement. There is no visual evidence of how well they played unless you actually go back and watch the game to verify what you are seeing.

If said player in question is taking a lot of uncontested shots, he could have just had a really bad night. My star player has those nights more than I'd like but I prefer to think he's suffering from the "Ben Gordon-syndrome".

game shape and stamina.

Get the correct minutes and train stamina

Trained stamina makes getting the correct minutes more difficult. If you have semi-serviceable bench at least, you don't need it excpet for very top leagues (B3 and bigger countries top divisons I guess).

i agree with you on the stamina bit... alot off people are talking big about it. and some off these players in my opinion are very knowledgable about this game too. However, I have never trained it. Maybe once that i cant remember in 6 seasons time and I am doing perfectly in my div II...

Thanks for the explanation. But another thing has came up with this troublesome player. I trained him for 3 WEEKS of outside shooting alone and 4 weeks with PG and he hasn't improved at all. He has allstar potential and is at 23 years of age. What's happening?

normally it takes about 3 weeks for a 18 year old to pop. so this is nothing alarming :) i am sure he will pop next week or the week after if he received all these weeks 48 min or more playing time...
