It's been stated that way several times in this forum.
If I have a 20-10-5-5-0 on the floor at the same time, I'd expect the 20 to take roughly half the shots in that time period. If that 0(zero) were replaced with a 20, I'd expect both 20 to take roughly 1/3 of the shots with the other three taking the other 33%.
If it doesn't work that way, I'd be extremely shocked. My dist has worked almost exactly that way since Day 1. I'd love to see wiz explain the way he thinks it works. And I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm saying my dist is set up that way and it works that way.
To amend this a little, the defense(doubles, +/-) certainly changes the expectations of shots taken. A +5 doubling my SG set at 25 dist should probably mean my SG, if he can pass the ball at all, will actually pass the ball as opposed to firing up a 3. I'd think IQ also plays a role. IOW, a dumb SG with a +2 3pt attempt, who can't pass, would just crank out 3PA in that situation.. Whereas the smart SG, who can pass, will dish it inside.
The game may not be that deep. I'll pretend it is if it isn't.
