[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 995902, member: 4289"] Uh… no. We don’t play a 5-out, and we very much do have to have a good point guard, and thankfully we have a very good young point guard in George and a veteran in Sturdivant. Terry is a shooting guard, not a point guard. That’s based on his skill set, not on where he stands on the court. We don’t play a “5-out”. Watch the games and pay attention to Ndongo. He is a post player. Just because he sets screens at the top of the key does not make him a perimeter player. Increasingly lately, we are even feeding the ball to ndongo on the low post with his back to the basket. We can’t even play a “4-out” effectively with Claude on the floor with ndongo, because he presents zero scoring threat on the perimeter. When he receives a pass on the perimeter the defense doesn’t even react, and he immediately starts looking for someone to get rid of the ball to. That results in a mismatch with 5 defenders guarding 4 passing lanes, which is asking for a turnover. So instead sometimes you’ll see Claude positioned in the short corner or the opposite, weak side block if ndongo is posted up on the strong side. It’s far from the vaunted 5-out positionless basketball. Regardless, you still must have a skilled point guard, the demands of which go way beyond just dribbling the ball up the court. Lol, that can be said of every offense in the history of basketball, so obviously demonstrates a lack of understanding of the skills required of a point guard. Regarding Terry, of course he can be a fine guard in this or any offense because he can shoot pretty well, but that has nothing to do with 5-out, and we still have to have an excellent point guard and that won’t be Terry. These systems that are supposedly positionless, rely on having multiple players with top end level skill sets at multiple/every position. For example a 6-10 to 7-0 tall big than can shoot 3s as at the level of a good shooting guard and dribble and pass at the level of a good point guard. That is extremely rare. You see unicorn examples of it in the nba, but of course those are the rarest players in the world. [/QUOTE]
