I give that a ball. Good theory! It's very likely too.

That last sentence is gold. I wanted to say something like that in my theory posted above. I agree with you, the system programs the player to shoot based on his Js but his other skills just dont back him up.

Jump Shot: -2 Jump Range: -2
Outside Def.: +2 Handling: 0
Driving: 0 Passing: 0

This guy is a terrible shooter. In PL and B3 this season (games where he plays against decent players) he is shooting 11-48. Even though his passing is higher than his JS he still likes to launch 16 shots a game. In season 16 he shot .307 (46-150) in the Thai D.1, where he is one of the top three point guards, if not the top. From behind the arc he shot .265

Jump Shot: +2 Jump Range: -5
Outside Def.: +1 Handling: -1
Driving: +1 Passing: -9

This guy is 27-62 in PL/B3. Last year he shot .477 (113-237) in Thai D.1. From behind the arc he shot .317

My experience is 180 degrees opposite from yours.

I don't think the GE gives bonuses to shooting based on position, so it would only be the defender that would make a difference for these guys, since they play the exact same competition in the exact same offense every game.

They are both on my team. My PG and SG. So based on your final point it stands to reason that the second guy has a better shooting % because the first guy is his PG. Still, the PG only averages 6 assists a game or so, so that's only 1 or 2 shots that he is helping out with.

Do you know that those things have a role in the FG%? I'm not sure I agree. I think that DR has a role in the spot on the floor where the shot is taken, so indirectly I guess that affects FG%. I don't really think HA plays much of a role in shooting. I think HA figures in the passing and turnover (both O and D) calculations. I think IS works in the event of layups or close shots. But, I don't really know.

I think the reason with highly unequal JS/JR is that the G is programmed to shoot based on their JS stat, however JR impacts their shots but not their shot decision. So a high JS G will take very contested shots while his JR doesnt back him up. In the mean time, a G with a lower JS stat that is similiar to his JR will shoot easier shots because he is programmed to think he wont make harder shots and therefore his JR backs him up equivalently too. Just a theory.

i am very very sure, that a guard consider his full shooting oppurtunity before he shots, that means, JS, JR situation and opposition(maybe weakens through flow)
