Baffled - Why is this guy scoring so much? Topic

This team

Marko Zets

I picked up this SR transfer just as a 3rd string back-up at PF/C.

It's just 4 games against sims and I've given him a little more PT than I would against better competition.

But I cannot explain how he is averaging 20 pts a game in 13+ minutes.

He transferred from a D3 school where he pretty much didn't score in similar minutes.

He is a C- in the motion offense.

My play distribution is 0 for everyone.

He is only 46 LP and ath/spd 38/46.

Is this a glitch? I don't get it.

Would love some insight ... if there is any!

i was gonna say... how bad are your other backups! i can't find an explanation though. i found all 0 distro to provide a fairly even keel, and to be based fairly heavily on lp and per, so none of that makes any sense to me. my other thought would be to give a few more games, but he so consistently has so many offensive possessions, it seems like sample size is probably not the answer here. pretty strange. i wonder if it relates to him being a senior? maybe give it a couple games to make sure its real then set his distro to 5 and save and then re-0 it and save? long shot... grasping at straws to put it mildly. i agree it is really bizarre.

The ballhandling and passing help a bit with scoring in a motion offense...but this one's weird for sure. Could be the quality of the backups guarding him on top of everything else?

Well, he’s not exactly Mr. Efficiency out there. I suspect low IQ is the culprit, maybe his, maybe the guys on the floor with him, maybe a combination. Between him and the guards on the bench, none have a flex IQ over C- right now, which says (to me) poor shot selection, given they aren’t getting any distribution direction from the coach.

”i wonder if it relates to him being a senior?”

I had this thought, too. Kind of a stretch, but maybe. He’s a senior, he has A- IQ in *something* (just not the set being run). Perhaps the system just thinks he’s the best player on the floor because it’s kind of dumb that way, and distribution isn’t telling it differently?

Terrible efficiency dude. This is the downside of all 0 distro. You're just letting the sim coach load up his stat line at the cost of the team. 9-24 against a sim with no defensive bigs whatsoever. Please use real distro when you start playing humans and stop wasting Taub/Bldwin/Robert/Driskell/Litzenberg. ;)

Are you sure his distro is set to 0?

Distro is at 0.

Still scoring. Last night 19 in 15 minutes.

He does have 45 in passing and yet doesn't have a single assist.

It's like everytime he touches the ball he's turning it over or shooting,.

Last game against a sim (fairly good one). Give him one last game with no distro. Hopefully doesn't cost me the W.
