For Example: With Team Schweiz (NT) I have much more Inside Scoring with a SG (high jumper, high driving) on SF, as with a PF or C (high inside shot) on SF.
That's the reason, why I prefer a high jumper on SF even when I play Look Inside or Low Post.

Sure, look at salary formula.

I just answered what I prefer at a LI tactic on each position. And therefore JS is very important for PG, SG, SF. ;)

I didn't say JS is not important -- I just said playing LI doesn't necessarily make it more important than usual.


mmh i will agree agree acajou in this case, the JS is the main offensiv weapon in this tactic for those positions and they are still scoring a lot. For outside tactics you need JS and Range to give your players a good scoring package.

Thank you for information. Could you please tell me critical skills for each position to strategy RnG too, please? I just have long range shooters and I am doing well but I want to try 2-point strategies also. Thank you again.

Driving helps you get good inside shots, I think this is pretty much self-explanatory.



If you read the rules verbatim, driving could help any type of shot:

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


My preliminary thought is that driving helps a lot under the new engine, especially in a look inside, since it is harder to get good passes into your inside players.

I have also added to that the need for players to have jump shot in a look inside. My analysis so far seems to show that under the new engine, (with all things being equal) about 40% of your shots are short jumpers with another 40% being inside shots. The remaining 10% are long jumpers or 3 point shots (where higher range would be more important).

This is just a preliminary analysis, though and needs more investigation. That's why I wanted to know if Acajou had some evidence for his theory. It is also one of the reasons why I think that a 3-2 zone is currently working better against a look inside offense.

Moreover (and this is again a personal observation based on watching games), different positions get their opportunities at different spots on the field -- so PGs, SGs, and SFs will get more of their inside shot through driving, since they start away from the basket. Likewise, PFs and Cs have little use for Driving, since they get their opportunities mostly by being directly under the basket.


Not sure I necessarily agree with that... I have seen my inside players with good driving take quite a few "drives to the basket". And if they can't get a good pass, what exactly are they going to do? They're either going to pass it off or drive.


Again -- these are just my personal observations. I haven't found any conclusive evidence that Driving helps with any sort of Jump Shots.


I haven't, either. It is just that you implied to me that it is "self-explanatory" that driving is only used for inside shots.
