Title: FG Attempts-Per-Game Post by: MavsGM on September 19, 2005, 12:29:29 PM Anyone know how I can increase LeBron's FG attempts per game? I never have a player in top 10 and don't know why. Even Dirk can't crack the top 10 when he played for the Mavs and now he is at #5.
Title: FG Attempts-Per-Game Post by: Iverson2Korver43 on September 19, 2005, 01:05:25 PM You probably have too many good scoring options on your team... Maybe if you put LeBron as the #1 scoring option and put bench players as the #2 and 3???

PistonsGM is right. I have great scorers on my team, but none even close to top 5 because they all score! I have 6 players avereging over 11 ppg. You know that even Corey Maggette could average over 20ppg easily on another team with not as many scorers?!

I whether have a guy like Bron take 25 shoots per game with high FG% then someone jack up shoots as a non option player with low FG%.

Title: FG Attempts-Per-Game Post by: NetsGM on September 19, 2005, 04:37:18 PM Part of it probably has to do with finding the right settings.
Pettit never shot too much, until I went to a fast pace and an outside focus. The outside focus really increases his FGA's/game.

Outside focus does help shift FG attempts from your PF & C to the other 3 guys. Earlier this year when I felt Thomas & Mihm were taking too many shots as non-options I switched from balanced to outside. Russell, Arenas & Parker FGA all went up. But then you also have to watch how it impacts FG% & FTA.

And as the old saying goes, the highest-% shot is still and will always be a dunk ... .

That was basically the point of watching FG%...if you change a player who gets a lot of shots slashing to the rim into a jumpshooter his FG% will probably go down. Also jumpshooters don't get fouled as much as someone attacking the rim hence the reason to watch FTA. |
