13) Do players play to their strengths? yes
- Does a forward with no driving ability or jump shot tend to stay close to the basket on offense? not likely
- Are forwards with more handling/passing/jumpshot/jump range more likely to step out and use those skills than one who doesn't? yes, but the diffrence might be small. Under the exact same conditions that balance on the edge of taking a shot, the one will take it, and the other might pass. Mostly the shot-opportunity will be deemed good enough by both, and both will take the shot, or the other way around.
- Is a PG more likely to get the ball to someone with better offensive skills on offense, or someone that is on a hot shooting streak? (ie does a good PG play with intelligence). I think he passes to an open man, no matter his skills or hot streak. The receiver then decides if he gets a good shot opportunity or not and shoots or passes.
- Do the better rebounders crash the boards on offense while the poorer rebounders are more likely to run back up court and guard the fast break?
- Do pure shooters who can't drive attempt to drive anyway? Do great drivers with poor range attempt threes anyway? yes

Thanks for your time and your answers, much appreciated.

I have some of my own theories on various questions too, but I'd love to get some more "official" updates to the rules to answer some of the above definitively.

I'm afraid you might never get anything official on the above.

It is the joy of the comunity to figure it all out, and even then we will not be 100% sure.

If nowhere is updated with official announcements. (Such as the height only affects training, not player performance "fact") then you end up with knowledge being lost and a steeper learning curve for new players.

As a developer myself I know where user documentation normally sits in a list of priorities, but its the sort of polish that makes users a) stay with the game and b) more willing to pay to support the game.
