sure there are but their position usually turns to sf or pf :)

i think if your center is good at rebounding and inside shooting, then it is better his passing is low. so he wont look around when he gets the rebound and will go for a tip in. driving increases the scoring frequency for sure but not the efficiency. you have to combine driving with other offense skills or it might hurt you. handling is the most important one of those three for a big man.

go look it up in Transfer market. look for a respectable jumpshot and mediorce range 6'10 young player and train him yourself after you are happy with his inside skill convert him to Small man and train him even tough he might not do very well due to crappy handling and passing (more likely). advice: find a 6'8 guy and train him as a SF with more emphasis on Inside skill will result in a PF then you can play him as a C if you like provided that his inside skills are good enough.

not officially. but driving is about creating shots and this has got to do something like that. i am pretty sure it does not make your player's field goal percentage better.

i really do not think it helps, not use of course, but it might even increase the turnover (if handling is low) and lower the fg (if shooting is low). as i said earlier, it is nothing official but my experience.

In my experience driving helps your shooting percentage. The reason why a player with high driving takes more shots is because he is open more often.

The turnover thing is true, though. If your player is driving to the basket often but has low handling, relative to the outside d he is facing, he will turn the ball over more.

Ok, i want an opinion for this player:

Jump Shot: inept Jump Range: atrocious
Outside Def.: atrocious Handling: average
Driving: atrocious Passing: atrocious
Inside Shot: tremendous Inside Def.: prolific
Rebounding: sensational Shot Blocking: mediocre
Stamina: average Free Throw: awful

20 y/o. How much important is for him driving? should i sacrifice the big men training giving him some driving? Ok i know that more complete player is better, but 1 or 2 pop ups on driving will make him better player than 1-2 more pop ups on his inside skills?

It all depends what tactics you use and the players that are around him and what level of outside d he is facing from the other C. But for sure, if you want him to be a big part of an inside offense, I would bring his driving up to at least mediocre with some one-on-one training.

If your goal is to sell this guy, though, I might not bother.
