Sorry, I must have misunderstood you. It is difficult to follow all of the run-on sentences.

The PF in that example is listed as a center which means his jump shot is not very high. A PF won't dominate in Princeton without a good JS (JR helps a lot too) just like a SG wouldn't dominate in run and gun without a jump shot. A PF is capable of dominating in Princeton but only with the right skill set, i.e., very high JS, good JR and BH, along with solid IS and RB. Jump shot is really the key skill here and if any team wants to get the most out of Princeton and exploit potential mismatches their PF needs a high jump shot. For a Division one team that could mean 14-15 JS and for a team of our caliber, i.e. Div 3 or 4, 10-12 would be needed.


I have to disagree. I have run Princeton quite a bit, and PF jump shot does not seem to play a big role. I used to try and play a SF with a jump shot of 17 (only 8 with inside shot) as a Pf in my private leagues figuring he would dominate from the outside, but I was always disappointed. My other PF with a JS of 10 seemed to do much better (but likely due to his much higher IS).

Thank you for your reply. I agree with your analysis. In conversations I have had and through reading the forums that was my understanding as well. That was why I was questioning this particular game used as an example. In light of what BCT has just said, however, I think a closer look would be warranted. Thank you both for you insights.

I don't think that there is any one formula for which players will do well in a particular offensive tactic. So much depends on matchups and defense that trying to single out which position will be most important is of marginal value, at best.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

According to JosefKa's tool, and when compared to Base Offense, the main skill that is amplified in Princeton is Passing, except for the PG, whose passing is less involved relative to the other positions. The Center and the SG have big increases in their passing involvement, the PF a medium one, and the Sf a small increase. The Handling skills of the PF and C are also more involved. Jump shot gets a slight increase across the board but JR actually is less important, according to the parrot.

How were these players comparing re: range?

My old SF Neacsu had jr of 10 or 11 - which was more than sufficient (10336343). My PF with more success in Princeton now has jr below 5.

Coming from Syracuse myself, our 2-3 zone always gave Georgetown trouble even when they were favored


Maybe BB needs Jim Boeheim to give the game engine a tutorial on how to run an effective 2-3. :)
