I play the tiebreaker game tomorrow in playoffs for promotion and i'm thinking of trying out a new formation and tactics to confuse the opponent - they play LI-MM att/def all season long, so i'll obviously play 2-3 def with predictions, but i'm thinking, since i don't stand a chance in the paint (he has strong ceneters, i have my only one injured and even then he's weak), i'm thinking to play full outside game to try and surprise him. I'm thinking of playing my 1st choice SF as a PF to make a missmatch with his inside oriented PF, but i'm not sure which tactics i should be playing? Which is the main question I have.. which outside tactics should i play in order to make sure that my PF will also be taking lots of shots?

TL;DR: which outside tactics should i play in order to make sure that my PF will also be taking lots of shots?

I think all of the outside tactics do a decent job getting pf shots if he has good JS. Do you have the JR at your other position to shoot threes? If you want to slowly shoot threes choose princeton. If you want to quickly shoot threes choose Run and Gun. If you want to shoot more jumpers than threes choose motion.

imho princeton doesn't function well, or at least not if you've a team with low passage, with r&g your player will not take a lot of shots, this season I've never played with a good shooter from outside as PF but I can tell you that using patient your SF should keep a good number of shots

pait, r&g and outside shooting.. If you have the guards and strong sf on the bench play push the ball.

Patient would get the player a lot of shots, definitely.

On Princeton, if any of the players on the court have bad passing or handling, there will be a lot of turnovers. If the team has a lot of players with poor driving, there will be a lot of very low percentage shots. The PF (or even C) will take a decent number of threes, but so will the players at SG and SF and it's almost guaranteed that one of the two will shoot below 25% from the field even if the PP100 is above 90.

Well, that's at least my experience. And I have a team mostly set up for princeton.

Dont play patient or push the ball. My advice is for you to try inside isolation with sg/sf as pf.

wouldn't it be outside isolation? So that the best outside scorer keeps getting the ball? How i understand it is that inside isolation would be the best inside scorer repeatedly scoring, which is not what i want since my inside scoring is really weak.

EDIT: also, should i play my pure scorer SG with legendary JS but without inside defense or my SF with 16 JS but somewhat better ID as the PF? Considering that i'm playing zone defense with 2-3.

True, but with patient, i think my SG/SF at PF position would probably still be taking inside shots since there's no focus on outside shooting, where he'd get destroyed by ID of opponent's PF? Or will he be trying to abuse his strength of great JS and do jumpers to effectively take advantage of opponents weak OD?
