Jump Shot: A better shooter will make more shots at all distances.
Jump Range: A player with a higher jump range will find that the effectiveness of his jump shot decreases less with distance.
(1) 50% of shots taken are mid range jumpers in outside offense. JR has nothing to do with the FG%, only JS does.How can that be? This is from the game manual.
Let's drop the big numbers and go smaller.
If the decrease in effectiveness starts at the basket, who would shoot a 18 ft jumper better?
A. 16/2 B. 12/6 C. 9/9
In my opinion, the 16/2 would see his 16 JS decrease down to a 10 by the time it got out to 18 ft because of the rate of effectiveness from his 2 JR.
