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?

From the FAQ:

"Handling – Handling determines how a good a player is at keeping possession of the ball. A higher handling skill means that your team will have an increased offensive flow and a greater opportunity at creating quality shot opportunities. If you have a player with poor handling that player is more likely to turn the ball over."

Hmm. Might that not be the DRIVING skill?

Just asking.

No, no it wouldn't. Driving skill creates the opportunity. It's the difference between trying a layup and pulling up short for a jumper. However, you do have to dribble when driving. I guess there's no chance of having the ball stolen once the game engine has decided you successfully broke the defense for a layup?

R&G is an interesting offense. Point guard by far will be the most important player on the team, and high ball handling is a must. He also should be at least close to as good of shooter as your SG and a mid to good passer. High jump range is essential(Keeping JS 2 or 3 higher than JR will make the offense lethal) as JR heavily boosts Outside shooting in the game ratings when using R&G(not so much when using Motion)

So until I get my jump range up to where I need it I would be better off using motion?

For your PG and SG I'd say yes. Prolific - Strong, Sensational- Proficient is good for D4.
