On the rules, there is standing something like that:
Whether an outside shot goes in is a combination of the individual and team outside scoring rating, as well as the opposing individual and team outside defense. If a great player is the only option on a bad team, he will draw more coverage, and therefore his shooting percentage will go down; similarly a bad player on the same team will only tend to shoot outside shots when he is wide open. The same applies to other shot types.
And driving isn't useless for the offence, usually good drivers score more points then "similiar" player with compareable offensiv abilitys.
