[QUOTE="CEB, post: 930153, member: 4905"] I'm with you. The way we run this, we don't spread the D at all. The wings are low and are not a threat. They are mostly stationary, waiting for a kick out. Wing defenders can sag, but don't really have to "help" on the drive because we never move the 5 or either guard out of the center of the court. All of our movement basically happens in the center of the floor, inside the 3 point line, which makes for a really congested lane. It seems like we are content to play 3 on 3 in the lane. The wings / baseline don't get into the offense. Other teams will use the backside guard to screen down to the wing starting the zoom, or they will cut the guards through the lane after the post entry, slide the wings up the floor and then screen back down to the guard coming across the baseline and back up to zoom. Purdue runs the guards through in this manner (especially when you had Cline and Edwards shooting like they did). Incorporating the wings in this way spreads the floor and it forces the wing defenders to tighten up on the wing (opening up the lane). If the wing defender sags and the wing runs zoom off of a screen down, the defender is caught in too much traffic to fight through. This opens the lane for a driving guard and makes the back cut by the wing a threat. Stretching the court vertically (with the 5 at the top of the key) also opens the lane. It leaves room for the 5 to "roll" backside block and it also puts the ball in the guard's hand for a spot up 3. Many people will tell you that the 17-19 jumpshot is the worst shot in the game... hardest shot worth only 2 points. We basically set our post where our guard receives the ball at the worst place on the floor to shoot it... so, bad jumpshot or drive congested lane? [/QUOTE]
