Also Westbrook is the pg he will naturally have more opportunities to call his own number. So if Westbrook has a huge mismatch or just a mismatch and he gets it going the game will dynamically give him more touches. And we have no idea how these teams will actually play. Once we have a large enough sample size ACE will be updated. But it will still be dynamic so every single game doesn't play out the same regardless of matchups and all that stuff I mentioned before. We could hard-code it so x always gets x amount of shots but that wouldn't play very smart once you notice that pattern. When you make something dynamic you inherently give up some control. A probable reason for the increased shots for Andre is the defense is most likely to gap or leave him. Especially AI defenders when help or rotations are needed. His spotup 3 point tendency is more important that the default point tendency in determining how many 3's he is shooting. Also as I said how is the defense playing him ? These are all factors. The default 3 point tendency has more to do with spacing than shot attempts because those were made more situational as I mentioned in the blog. A lot of work and testing was put into the tendencies and I'm certain there are some that need to be adjusted but overall they are much better than they have ever been. Also post scorers are difficult to get the ball to because they plays ran for them can branch because of defensive lapses or pressure. Also post plays are longer which means more time for something else to open up. Sent from my iPad using Operation Sports

So Czar default 3 point tendency is more of a determinant on where a player is to stand spacing wise and the spot up tendencies determine how trigger happy he is? Just seeking some clarification. Thanks big guy
