That's part of the equation. However, there's another factor coming into play. Whenever a player has the ball, he has to decide whether it's better to shoot the ball now or pass it on (or drive to the basket). Better passing for a player means that passing up instead of taking a bad shot is going to happen more often, in turn increasing a players' Shooting% (while decreasing his shot attempts).

PG passing should be at least prominent to make good move to make a basket.

That why i said ATLEAST prominent. :)

alot of this simply tevolves around common sense and whether you have some real basketball experience or not
