What are the most important skills that teams need to successfully run this offense, like is jump range more critical than jump shot?

I think Jump Range and Jump Shot are equally important in this offence.

Or at least, I would always prefer having a player that has more or equal jump shot to jump range.

Nothing that really stands out in my mind. Good driving, passing and handling are always essential though.

While JS is of key importance for any guard, RNG focuses on long distance shots, so I would think JR is of greater importance, provided you already have a good JS skill. Not sure if that made any sense, but what I'm trying to say is JR is of less importance when you're taking mid-range shots, but essential when you're taking more 3's.

Does handling help jump shot accuracy?

It seems logical that handling has an indirect effect on the number of shot opportunities which may or may not result in a difference in shot percentage stats, but for handling to directly influence jump shot accuracy gives me thoughts of someone hanging onto the ball and flying to the hoop like in NBA Jam ;) I could be wrong, but I'm just saying.

From the game manual:

Handling: Allows the player to avoid losing the ball to the opposing defense while dribbling. Important against a pressing defense (to be added later) or, in general, against good perimeter defense. Teams with good handling will have more success at creating quality shot opportunities.


So basically, it helps create open looks, but it doesn't actually help with your shooting ability once you have those looks.


Interesting they would mention "perimeter defense". Are we to understand then that handling is not important when driving in for a layup?

So its basically just to avoid turnovers?
