If you have few drives faced on your end of the court, and aren't giving up a lot of 3s, or jumpshots overall...you are in good shape. on the offense end, if you aren't getting enough drives, examine your offenses and your personnel. That being said, there is nothing you really get from recruiting that tell you how players get their points...you only get that once you have them. Like i said, i haven't seen any big difference in the NUMBER of drives on each end of the court, and if you have, perhaps you need to examine your sets. It's one of the reasons i've never simmed games other than during beta. A legit 3 that can drive and shoot outside, AND play defense is perhaps the most valuable and hardest to find asset of all. Especially if they can rebound as well. phemomenal sfs have always been the most difficult to find asset in the game, as well the hardest to stop!
I think you're over-analyzing. Here's his post..
Okay, I think folks are missing my real point: it is not that I am seeing too few drive STOPS, it is that I am not seeing drives at all. Albany's opponents only tried to drive the ball 12 times in 18 games. It is NOT drive stop percentage, it is that other teams aren't even trying to drive.
That is what is strange.
And i think Gary pretty much answered his question. More man defense will see more drives faced statistically.
