Zero isn't exactly zero but it's very close.  They've taken roughly 5% of my teams shots.  Most of Troy's shots are probably tip in attempts but the others probably aren't.

Could these be desperation, shot clock running down shots if not tip-ins?

Just checked another.

2 tip ins
2 fastbreaks
1 with 6 seconds left on the shot clock

The thing that is problematic to me is I read somewhere else is that to beat the press for example you need to increase distribution to your best ballhandler.  But of course, then he's going to shoot a lot.

Huh ?   I dont think you read that post correctly.   Distribution is shooting ONLY.

According to the (possibly out of date) developer chats, on each possession the engine selects an offensive player for a shot, a foul drawn (or committed), or a turnover.  That selection appears to operate via distribution and some other factors.  So reduced distribution should reduce shots, turnovers, and drawn fouls.  Of course there are also turnovers (and fouls) arising independently of distribution.
