Since when?? any proves??? Just assumptions, and probably bad naming of the skill. Still is not a coincidence that when you train it you train one on one, plus the fact that its the cheapest and the easiest skill to train...

What kind of assumption is there in a BB has given hints on how a lay-up works ???

I am upset you are accusing me of unsubstantiated assumptions, I would rather be accused of being an outright liar :)

Driving shots are discussed regularly and this quote has been posted many times. I don't have the patience right now to use the awkward forum search engine. Do you ? You don't have to take my word for it but now you can look for that message :)

That's the quote indeed. Thank you Manon, thank you very much for finding it.

Now everyone can freely interpret it :)

How many of those driving layups are guarded by someone.

Layups are generally high percentage shots, if he has high driving and it was an open lay up then yeah the odds are he will make it even at atrocious or pitiful.

What it doesnt say is how important is each skill for it. As i said several times i consider DR as an overrated skill and i insist on it since none proved me wrong...

I'm inclined to agree with you, smedlock. If IS was weighted heavily in the layup calculation, I wouldn't cringe so much every time my prodigious IS big takes a layup. Not sure what his exact percentage is (not exactly interested in parsing the data), I just know that I've seen him miss a lot more than he makes.

Seems a little harsh on your comment there.
I do go along with your argument on Driving for Guards though. My PG is a 14 Dr & 1 Is & makes all of his shots through layups & none from JS. I have, however, thrown many cups across the room as I watch my PF & C (IS 17 & 15) miss every Clear Path to the Hoop layup they have ever taken

Right is not a popularity contest!
