Have you taken into account defence?

PGs are usually in a position where the opposition PG don't have defence as well so even with pitiful IS, you are up against something like atrocious ID. The fact you are able to drive to the hoop and try a layup proves that the ID of the opponent sucks, otherwise your player would not have tried it in the first place.

I can tell you that my two DR-proficient, IS-awful guys miss more layups than a respectable, respectable guy and a pitiful, strong guy. It does seem stupid to drive if you have a small chance finishing at the rim, but from what I've gathered a lay up is considered a better opportunity for a high drive player. There are of course many factors like zone D, where you guard end up laying up over a C for ex. so it's hard to measure it. But if you look at FG% among guards with very high DR and poor IS it is quite low.

My question is, what do you do to defend it? My guys are getting in foul trouble, lately not even being able to play an entire half without fouling out.

Inside defense, Outside defense, Driving(one on one)?

One of my players has IS:7, DR:8 and he makes driving layups very frequently.
Another one with IS:1 and DR:8 almost never ever makes a layup.

So in my experience, Inside shot is more important that Driving when it comes to driving layups.

As for defending layups, ID would be my guess.

So you're saying IS doesn't help driving layups? This doesn't make sense. Layups are inside shots, are they not? Each scoring attempt must be influenced by either JS or IS.
All my guards have good handling and driving (pretty much on the same level), but the one with atrocious IS never makes layups and the others do.

AI, Parker example is just ridiculous! The fact that they can't score on the low post against tall players does not mean that they have low IS. It means that height is very important in match ups, which is totally disregarded by BuzzerBeater.

Ooohhh, I would very much beg to differ. I guard with even inept or so IS does indeed score more often than one with a lower IS, at least from my experience.

As some other posters said DR is the ability to create the shot, not to finish it.

I think that we all agree that big men need JS/JR (lesser extent) when they have to make outside shots. Why the guards should be deferent? It doesnt make sense. IS/JS/JR all responsible for the finishing abilities of the players compared to the opposite defenses. DR just gives the chance to the players to create there own shot, when a good pass that will put them on a prime position to score is not there. Simple as that.
