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).

It's all interesting read. I don't have very good players yet and the conversion rate has been in my mind for a few weeks now. So I am glad to have stumbled across this thread. I wanted to find out your thoughts on the following players based on what has been said.

Player 1 has a FG = 0.565
Jump Shot: prominent Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: respectable
Driving: average Passing: awful
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: proficient
Rebounding: prominent Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: inept Free Throw: awful

Player 2 has a FG = 0.477
Jump Shot: strong ↑ Jump Range: strong ↑
Outside Def.: strong Handling: respectable
Driving: strong Passing: awful
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: atrocious Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: proficient Free Throw: mediocre

I'm not sure but comparing a SF and a SG should be two different things. Small forward are rarely as good as shooting guard on defense and I see the SF has not made a 3 in one of the league game against 4 and 5 techs. How did they fair against the better team in your league? I think the SF has a better FG because he has played inside more than the outside or mid range (looks like 7 total made mid range shots or .304% of his 23 shots) game even thought he played Run and Gun in two of them.

I didn't go that detailed with the shooting guard because I'm sleepy and is not more important than my sleep.
