A 18-year old, 7'4 center who was maybe 2 levels ahead in all other inside skills was training shot blocking at ~1 pop per week. Make of it what you will.
then discuss it in the speed thread, i am pretty sure they will be other opionions.
Except you can in no way quantify the actual improvement in your team that's due to Driving, or can you? How do you know it's not even less effective than shot blocking?
But even if it worthless, is improves the others skills fast an even an 16 in driving doesn't cost many salary ... And there are lot team in germany who get succesful with training lot of driving, this could be and sign. You can not even proove the concept of js right, because it have the same effect like driving, you take more shoots and maybe the percentages improves a bit.
I am not sure where you come with this numbers. I don't think they're anything close to the real effect of shot blocking.
thats an small old study we make to look if blocking could work that way, you can see really difference in the amount of blocks if you watch on the stats.
Guess what blocking he has ->
