Jump Shot: A better shooter will make more shots at all distances.

Jump Range: A player with a higher jump range will find that the effectiveness of his jump shot decreases less with distance.

If you only could have 30 skill points in JS/JR........Which player would be the best shooter from 15ft and the three point line?

I have had all of these combos on my team in the past, and the best shooter(FG% with 141 3's in 80 games) had JS:18 JR:12.
Now my Japanese SG/SF already has JS:12 and JR:12........Thinking of a 16-14 or 15-15 for him. Just wondering what everyone thinks.

I'm a sucker for JR and have a player 16/14, love the guy.

The meta kinda shows that 18/12 is the way. JR eats too much pitential and inflates salary

I put the salaries down and 16-14 is really close to the salary of the 18-12. Also, my 22 yr old SG/SF is already 12-12, so 18-12 isn't going to happen. I really want 18-14 but that is close to 125K a week.

Here is a good question. When does the 18-12 and the 16-14 become equal on the court? If the 18 is decreasing more than the 16 due to having less JR, where would the 18 drop below the 16 JS? 20ft from the basket?, 3 pt line?

I was just showing examples of a 134 TSP build with 30 JS/JR skill points. I wanted the POLL to be for everyone, even D3 teams can have a 100K player on their team.
Like I said before, he already has 12 JR, so I am thinking 18-14 with 13 IS and 20 driving and 19 OD. Now we are talking 180K which is only for the top teams.
BTW. Thanks for the response.

Not too expensive. My starting SG last season in D1 was making 237K a week, and I had a 200K C. For my Homegrown players, I want to keep them around the 150-180K range.

The more IS the better because it takes no salary, but it takes time to train so thats up to you.

This is why I dropped back to D2, so I can train IS for my SG.

I think 18/12 should be the sweet spot.

You'd definitely want your JS as high as possible, but I think SGs should at least have 12 JR unless you only plan on running inside tactics. That said, I wouldn't go for 16-14 or 15-15. The JS is too low, and JS is what determines how effective your player shoots, so your SG would probably be less effective when compared with a 18 or 20 JS SG within the arc and might just be as effective from 3.
