Stationary Shot Window Expansion & Probability Multipliers
Set Shot Specialist activates exclusively when an AI asset catches the ball and fires from a completely stationary position without taking a dribble.
The badge operates by expanding the underlying success window and injecting a flat probability boost into the calculation. Because the AI naturally seeks out open space and excels at executing catch-and-shoot logic, optimizing this badge tier acts as a direct multiplier for your team's overall half-court points-per-possession.
Dataset 1: Standstill Success Window Expansion (Text Model)
| Badge Tier | Success Probability Boost | Success Window Expansion | The Analytical Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Badge | Baseline | Baseline | Standard baseline logic; entirely reliant on raw Three-Point attributes. |
| Bronze | +2.5% | +3 Milliseconds | Low-cost insurance that provides a minor, steady efficiency padding. |
| Silver | +4.0% | +5 Milliseconds | A functional upgrade for secondary floor-spacers and stretch bigs. |
| Gold | +6.5% | +9 Milliseconds | The ideal value threshold. Visibly shifts conversion probabilities. |
| Hall of Fame (HoF) | +8.0% | +12 Milliseconds | Elite shot padding that heavily rewards premium catch-and-shoot targets. |
| Legend | +10.5% | +16 Milliseconds | Complete mechanical optimization. Turns standstill looks into automatic offense. |
Dataset 2: Maximum Make % Increase & Green Window Size (Image Model)
Tested across corresponding attribute level baselines.
| Badge Tier | Required Attribute Baseline | Make % Increase | Estimated Green Window (EGW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 65 Three-Point or Mid-Range | +2.0% | 37 Milliseconds |
| Silver | 78 Three-Point or Mid-Range | +4.0% | 38 Milliseconds |
| Gold | 89 Three-Point or Mid-Range | +6.0% | 40 Milliseconds |
| Hall of Fame | 95 Three-Point or 93 Mid-Range | +9.0% | 42 Milliseconds |
| Legend | 98 Three-Point or Mid-Range | +14.0% | 46 Milliseconds |
Key Analytical Results
The Gold Efficiency Milestone: The jump from Silver to Gold offers a significant spike, raising the raw success probability by a flat 6.5% and widening the success window to 9 milliseconds (or 40ms in the attribute scale). This makes Gold the definitive baseline for any dedicated perimeter asset.
Flawless Attribute Synergy: Set Shot Specialist scales incredibly well when paired with high natural shooting attributes. While a premium attribute score sets a high floor, the upper tiers of this badge ensure that the simulation algorithm heavily favors the shooter, even when contesting algorithms attempt a late closeout.
Executive Report: Roster Specifications
1. Gold is the Standard Requirement for Stretch Assets: For pick-and-pop centers or corner-sitting forwards, Gold Set Shot Specialist is the mandatory benchmark. It delivers premium offensive output without requiring the max-level attribute spending needed for Hall of Fame or Legend.
2. Maximize Your Dedicated Off-Ball Snipers: If your scheme features a designated shooting guard whose sole function is to stretch the floor off backcourt screens, do not hesitate to invest attributes to reach Hall of Fame or Legend. Doing so turns open kick-outs into mathematically guaranteed buckets.
3. Avoid Over-Investing on Primary Ball-Handlers: If an AI asset's primary programming is to handle the ball, run pick-and-rolls, and shoot off the dribble, leaving this badge at Bronze or Silver is perfectly fine. They will rarely trigger the standstill criteria required to make high tiers of this badge worth the cost.
