This lead me to another question somewhat similar. Does this mean that your post players are affected by driving? As in should my center be good at driving to have higher percentage chances of when he makes a strong move to the hoop or comes crashing in and all that?

I think that even jump shooters are affected by driving. Otherwise I have no explanation how an atrocious jump shooter with pitiful jump range and respectable driving could go 2 for 3 on three pointers when I play low post offense.

I don't think you can draw any conclusion for just one game...what's his season 3 pt shooting percent and how many shots did he take.

im thinking, this is just one of those nights where in your guys shooting found the rhthym. meaning if you play ball there will be games wherein you just on fire!

and thinking aside your offense was base on low post, probably your shooter was way to open since everyone knows he cant shoot.

play some more and youll see it coming just like the word " law of average " means. .. . if his shooting is in the 35-40% better let the bb check the GE.

i think its still up to the type of offense you play.

as we know we train driving by one on one, so if your post guy is good in one on one he can elude and score better rather than keep banging bodies or take the jump shot right away.

just my thoughts

From the rules:

Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.

I take that to mean it effects every shot taken in the game to a greater or lesser extent.

A valid point. Not all ATROCIOUSes are equal. Some are much closer to PITIFUL than others. Luck explains a lot. After all if something is a 10,000 to one shot in any given game, it happened 5 times (on average) in this week's 52305 games played.

My interpretation is this player had two wide open, unguarded shots and got extremely lucky twice. It might not happen again for months.
