I know some will disagree with my ranking. I put OD over ID because many times you see the best Centers averaging 10-15 pts a game where good shooters average 25 pts. Jump shot seems to be most effective in the offense so i put that as 3. Handling might be lower than 4 and perhaps it may not be that important, but it can make tremendous difference if you have very poor handling and it can really impact what offense tactic you use so it's why i rank it that high. Possessions in the game is based alot on rebounds so I put that in 5. Now Passing can arguably be important so I had hard time with it, it can be really important in some offense tactics like Princeton but then again you can get away with it more in inside focus offense so it sort of in a mix, I can see it rank as high as 4 and as low as 9. When it comes to shooting alot of the shots being taken and decided by a player to take is based on jump shot so I put that at 7. Inside Shooting & Driving some will argue against me on this I know, all those 9 skills are somewhat important but someone has to be rank 8 & 9. Reason I had IS so low is because JS can outweigh in points scored in the game if your IS is low, you can get away with very low IS in outside focus offense with good JS and score like 130-140 pts a game. Driving is hardest for me to evaluate of the rest, seems to me thou without it you can still do just about anything in the offense still. Lastly Shot Block, well legendary blocking skills compared to atrocious blocking might make a difference of 2-3 blocks a game, that means if a player takes 2-3 shots and no blocks he will make 0-2 of the shots where if he gets all of them blocked he'll get 0 shots made, that's only 0-6 points on average SB difference make, I can't see all the other skills would be less important than shot blocking.

Yes obviously in inside focused offense IS would be much more important, but it's like you pointed out Motion or Run & Gun can get you to 150 points still with no IS and all OS. The margin between ranks 3 to 9 on my list is minuscule, they are all very close among them so its almost misleading to show IS rank 8 out of 10 but like i just said someone has to be ranked that low

Building off a base of OD, ID, REB would be lovely.

This is a flawed argument.

The ranking of skills ultimately becomes what sort of player you are trying to get.

Obviously for a C, ID would be much more important than OD and vice versa for a guard.

Blocking is always listed at the end, I wonder why nobody likes this skill... If it had a more obvious (=measurable impact) everybody would love it...

I did my ranking from cumulative perspective, obviously there will be variation based on what kind of team you have and what kind of opponent. But when accumulating everything, there are a bit more of the outside focus team than inside focus and as a result I gave more weight to the outside focus skills

Run and Gun: PG, SG and SF take at least 75% of your team's shots.
Look inside: PG, SG and SF take at least 60% of your team's shots.

That's why I always play 3-2 against both outside and inside oriented tactics. If C and PF would take 75% shots in Look inside, I would play 2-3 defense. Since this isn't the case, I value OD and JS much higher than ID and IS.

That indeed is not true.

It all depends on the matchups. Even in LI, if your team is able to succesfully get the ball inside, your SF/SG/PG would not take as many shots or even then they still look for a inside shot first and only start resorting to JSs only if its either a good look or shot clock is running out.

It isn't so untrue, you need really bad shooting guard to give the big guys so many shoots but if your big guys dominate inside, even the guards score high percentage under the basket :)

i think outside defense and rebounding most important skills, also if u play 3-2 zone high blocking centers blocks nearly all oponent pg.sg.sf layups:D( i have had respectrable blocking pg anf sf, they used to average ~2 blocks per game too), so defence is most important. also i noticed that the biggest impact for the game (any type of offense) makes point guard and small forward, those pozitions are key pozitions either in real life NBA and buzzerbeater :)
