Just wondering if anyone knows the reason why certain players don't score when you give them distro. I run motion and I notice sometimes it seems my players get more assists instead of points. Is this just the scheme or is it the more about the player? 

From my experience, it has to do with the Defense of the opposing team, how good that Defense is, and also the specific guy guarding him and how good that player is at Defense, i.e. his specific Defensive Rating.

doubleteams could affect it, how good his pg is at getting him the ball...lots of things

The Motion offense is based on looking for the best available shot. Distro is an influence of course, but if Player A with say a 15 distro is strongly guarded and Player B with a 10 distro is generally open then Player A may only shoot 10% and Player B may shoot 15% for that game. Distro is not a guarantee that a player will take that percentage of shots. It only indicates approximately how many plays will be run for him. The result of any given play may be a shot, a foul, a pass, or a TO.

I've read this in the guide but it just makes me wonder why I should even set distro. In your example I would have given player B 15 distro because as I scout my opponent I see either a.) he's playing a low rated def who's also slower b.) his opponent IQ is below par or just for whatever the reason I feel player B has an advantage I'm giving him more distro. Why would player B not put up the shots correlated with his distro or why would his asst stats increase if he's playing against an inferior defender? DT's not being considered at this point.
