ahhhhhhh but is it a chicken and egg scenario?

ie: Are they driving because they have high driving?

Or are they driving because the game engine is telling them to do so? Maybe if they had low driving, the game engine would attempt to find them for the open jumper?

My guys suck at driving and they seem to do more of it in the Princeton, so I think the engine makes them. I don't like that because the philosophy of the Princeton is avoiding bad ISO matchups with passing, cutting and screening. But as the programmer said (thanks for that!), think of this as a new strategy similar to Princeton, but not Princeton.

Clearly, I can not drink the wine in front of me.

As for the C: The Center took only 12% of all shots. Their main actions were dunks, tip ins and tough inside shots. Most of these actions are a result of offensive rebounds or passes. A tip in is always after an offensive rebound, dunks and tough inside shots have a assist-needed rate of 70%+. I think the C will benefit more from Princeton if the others have high passing. But as long as the passing is low, he will rely on his reboung skill.


What were your C's shooting and passing skills in comparison to your PF? Did he have JS 12 and JR 7 as well?

Ah, I see. I wonder if he had a similar build as your PF, would have taken more than 12% of your teams total shots and from a similar variety of locations as your PF?

Cool.
I did an entire PL seaso n once playing princeton so imight have a look at the stats from that.

I had a similar PF to you but I also had a different C. Sounds like a job for the weekend for me.

And again, a longer post than I intended..


story of my life.

I think this is fairly logical with look inside offence. People will skimp on the guards, particularly SG and jump range, simply because of the number of 3's that these guys taken when using LI.

So the same logic applies with other offenses. I think this is where Driving is most critical offensive tool no matter the offense. Driving really supplements a forwards IS and a forward with high driving but 'average' IS by comparison will still score quite reasonably.
With specific regard to Princeton? Yer id probably sacrifice IS on a C. I think a high passing C would help the offensive flow.
