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

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


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?

Snap, tried to change 14mins bofore the game started, obviously too late.. now playing motion vs his 3-2 defense instead of patient Would have been so much better if my changes went through

probably gonna lose, since main star, the SF got 3 fauls in 1st quarter already defending their PF

Don't worry, you would've only lost by more had you played Patient because that offence is terrible versus 3-2 zone...
