Looking over a large number of different games in different divisions and looking specifically at offensive flow, I notice that in most (but not all) competitive close games the team with better offensive flow wins. So my question is this - assuming that the guards provide offensive flow what is the percentage of 1> point guard to shooting guard in providing the flow 2> is better handling or passing required and in what ratio ? Do other positions contribute to the flow ? Just a dumb guess but maybe something like this - PG 60%, SG 20%, SF 10% and PF / C 10%. Thanks

Passing seems to have a larger impact at the offensive flow than handling, although they are both important skills for guards.

I don't know the exact percentages, but this is what the rules say;

# Offensive Flow (how well the offense produces assists, avoids turnovers): point guard weighted very heavily, shooting guard weighted medium, small forward weighted medium.

Thank you for your reply - I guess that from the rules there is no impact of the PF and C on offensive flow. Thank you for the insight that passing has a greater impact than handling on offensive flow, I guess I know what I will be training my guards in soon.

It wouldn't surprise me if Driving is in the formula somewhere too.

There's some more info in this quality thread. My comments were based on (maybe wrong) experience, while this thread is closer to the truth I guess;

Thanks for the link - JK is always shedding new light on the inner workings of bb. I think he is saying that handling has a very large effect on the many subskills that ripple throughout both offensive and defensive skill trees. Is that what he is saying ? or am I reading it wrong. Thanks again.

You'd better ask him in his thread
