So I decided to use a reverse patience for my today's matchup using my best perimeter scorer against a 3 OD player and the result was... https://buzzerbeater.com/match/123445786/boxscore.aspx

I mean, to be fair my SG today is more all-around in scoring (he has the same JS and DRI, +2 in IS and -1 JR), but still a worst perimeter scorer compared to my C and also he's with less GS this week besides the 16 OD difference between my opponent players, so why the game just decided to put a worse perimeter scorer, with less GS against a way better defender in a position to shot 46 times with a marvelous 19% fg instead a 8-14 guy with more PPS (he even shot less than my other perimeter player).

Analyzing the box score I guess i've made the right call offensively but I don't know maybe the engine just had another plans for my team today.

There's a basic tactical aspect of the game that I'm missing or for the next times I'll just play with 4 bench warmers just to be sure?

They have the same GS. Apart from that, one logical explanation can be that your SG has for example 20,8 Jump Shot and Driving and the player you put at C 20.

Bad passing on that 19% fg player?

defensive switch of your opponent?
