i dont like ANY atrocious skill, but maybe inside shot (besides blocking) for guards and jumprange for centers are the ones scraping through.

just my 2 cents

That sorta sounds like finishing at the basket is not as important as getting there.

While it is true that you do not to be Shaq in order to get a wide open lay out, having IS in your guards do help them to convert inside shots when facing other players down the basket who are not a Shaq.

in my opinion it depends on what your strategy is, if you play alot of look inside or even princeton to some extent, then its very nice to have guards with decent inside shot because more often than not guards dont have good inside defense. If you are a motion or run & gun type of team then inside shot doesnt account much for guards at all.

I understand what you are saying now. I was thinking of driving as a skill rather than an ability. It is true that there are "slashers"(penetrating to the basket/driving) who have a hard time doing layups(inside shot).

What I try to figure out is what to do with one of my young guards. He got off to a nice start, but his performance (particularly his shooting percentage) dropped significantly since then. In league games his numbers are most distressing with only 9/64 FGs, or 0.141.
For his 2 pointers he got 0.167, which is not good at all.

His ratings in the matches are actually ok, his relevant skills:

JS: 7, JR: 7
DR: 4, IS: 2

I figure it is a problem with his covert skills, but maybe he just lacks too much Inside Shot skill. For the most part I play without focus, often Patient.

Can anyone help me nail this problem?

Cheers, Exos

You might want to try motion offense. Ratings like that is good for mid-range attack(motion). Then again, it could be who your guards are playing against.

His performance will also depend on game shape, how good his defender is, and (i'm not sure about these last two) enthusiasm/effort. And as always, some bit of randomness.

Also, I have this player with strog-proficient GS, 9 JS, 7 JR, 4 IS, and 4 DR but his game is inconsistent. I noticed that when I play him at SF he puts up better numbers than playing SG. And he even plays better or comes up with clutch shots when coming off the bench. So there you go. Just experiment on his position.
