English term or phrase: driver and scorer
Hello,


"Derrick was never known as a great shooter; he was more of a driver and scorer."

لم يُعرَف قَطُّ عن ديريك أنَّهُ مُصَوِّبٌ فَذٌّ ، لكِنَّهُ كان مُقتَحِماً مُسَجِّلاً.

لم يُعرَف قَطُّ عن ديريك أنَّهُ مُصَوِّبٌ فَذٌّ، عُرِفَ عنه أكثر أنه إذا ما اقتحم سَجَّل.

Explanation:
Driver means to dribble penetrate to the basket and take a layup, instead of shooting an actual shot from somewhere outside. Be aware that the intent of driving is not just to score ( although it's probably the most common reason). It may be to draw a foul, draw the defense in to you and hence kick the ball out to a shooter, or simply to create movement.Whatever the reason, it's one of the best/safest forms of offensive attack
