I'm curious about something. During the game, mostly outside players penetrate to the rim and finishes with the layup. I want to learn that is it something about inside shot or driving skills ? If the player's driving is good but his inside shoot is very bad, can he score layup points anyway ?

I tend to think Driving is a lot more important. My SG has 17 Driving and 2 IS and gets quite a few layups when i play LI.

I asked because I have guards whose inside shot are very bad but they have quite good dribble and drive skills so thats why they score layup points thanks.

Whether or not your player drives for a layup depends on his Driving against their opponents OD. So the better the driving, the more layups they'll attempt when they have the chance. Then their IS is matched against their opponent's ID.


My understanding is the first two sentences are correct but the last one isn't.
-SB plays a bigger role in defending drives than ID.
-DR matters on the shot itself too, not just the setup, with IS also playing a role.

In real basketball it also depends who is guarding you. Lets imagine this way. Dikembe Mutombo standing in the paint and some lazy potato's away from the basket.
I would not agree that you have better chance scoring lay-ups in such situation :} For me it would be much easier to hit a 3 compared to meeting Dikembe close to the basket.
