Is Jump Range the leaping ability of a player, or is it the range of his jump shots?

range of his shots. the higher it is the less his jump shot decreases as he moves away from the basket

So if a player has JS=1 and JR=7, his JR-skill is worthless?

No it will help him train JS.

He needs driving as well to take more shots.

If he plays like that he will take a lot of shots from long distances but will probably miss.

Also,

if he would be attrocious at JR as well, he would be far worse than attrocious when shooting from distance, virtually loosnig any shot he takes. while with high JR, he will be as atrocious from far, as from closeby... and might make it once in a while.

but yes...
He won't score much, from any distance...

is driving not important for insideshots?

I though driving is the first 1-2 steps to attack the basket.

Well i've experienced driving to be a must have skill for a SG.

It is probably important to everyone

Well, my SG's Driving is pitiful, but he has done a good job so far. (759223) (I played Look Inside the last 2 games)

I think Driving is the ability for a player (who already has the ball) to get closer to the ring, passing by opponents, in order to get a closer shot (e.g. lay-up).

Therefor, yes I believe driving might be important for everyone. Every player who has the ball, and sees a way to 'drive' through to the basket might use this opportunity.

However, I feel this might be more important to (power) forwards and centers, since they mostly try to get close to the ring when taking a shot. Point Guards and shooting guards will look for opportunities to pass the ball to other players, or take distance shots when they are open themselves, and therefor will imho use less driving...

I agree. However in buzzerbeater is not like that. The rules page says Driving "is the ability of the player to create his own shot, without need of a pass from a team mate"

Don't agree. In real life the players that drive are more often the SF, SG and PG. Inside players usually play on the post, already inside, they don't "drive" to get there. I believe here on BB is the same (eventhough driving here means something else). So my guess is that Driving is a little important to everyone, but much more to the guards and SF.
