I think you are right. IMO the weightage is around 2:1 in the favor of driving. So Inside Shot is important, but not nearly as much as Driving. Generally I think around 7 IS is good enough to hit 75%+ of your driving layups. (of course provided you have good driving relative to your opponent's OD/ID/SB) Also, I believe that when a player surpasses the defender and beats his OD and is at the ending stages of his layup and is facing a big man SB is taken into account much more than ID.

Success of layup shots are determined by a player's driving skill, right? So which defensive skill is correlated with defending a driving layup shot? Is it outside defense? Inside defense? shot blocking?

I think in this order:

OD
SB
ID

everyone misses a layup every now and again and you dont always know you are as wide open as you are (so the belief that a defender is close to you can put you off). Also if you get fouled a few times or in a big way it can knock you off your game so that you miss the shots youd normally make.

taking these aspects of real life basketball into buzzerbeater means that every now and again players will miss open layups. good simulation :)

My guesses:
OD vs DR determines whether a driving lay up is allowed to be initiated.
ID on guard is put against IS of attacker.
SB of help defender is put against DR of attacker.

Who can tell for sure that driving lay ups by DR 18 IS 3 player were successful vs. ID +3 guard in M2M? BB counts pitiful/atrocious=legendary/prominent. So you see Centers with awful JS and pitiful JR make 3s just because they're defended by Centers with atrocious OD.
