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.

I ran Princeton extensively back in season 17-19 (I forget which season I heavily relied on it, but there was one). I had a team with guards with very high hnd/drv and good JR (one of whom I played at SF), and a very balanced power forward who was pretty much between 10-13 at every skill. Most importantly, I had a center with prolific passing.

Watching the sim, my guards had a lot of layup attempts and got fouled often. My center barely shot, but when he did it was long 2s and 3s. He also averaged about 5apg and had a lot of key passes. My PF took a lot of outside shots.

I find it a really good offense to run if you're building a team on the cheap and, in lieu of high weekly salaries, want to focus on cheap skills (hnd/drv for guards, outsides and passing for bigs). Even when overmatched, your team will keep the pace of the game down and maximize possessions. I had one of the league's lowest salaries and still made the playoffs that season in my USA II league.

good info, thanks for that.

Yes agreed

even with Lookinside, or low post, i remember i used to ahve a C, who had Respectable Passing, and he used to average 3 assists a game when i owned him.

This might not seem like a lot, but in the scheme of things, when your PG is probably only getting 4-5 assists, and your SG is only getting 3, then 3 on your big man is pretty good.
