Message: [QUOTE="Bajan Best, post: 2263600, member: 7387"] All this talk about "Out of Position" If anything last years team should have showed us, that to every advantage there can also be a disadvantage.. The key is which Team/Coach is able to make the most of each Match-up on a given night.. Collier who I would label as a Small Forward in the WNBA, was placed on the floor both offensively and defensively, where her skillset could have the most impact for that team to be successful.. Sometimes that meant taking players off the dribble, other times Isolating a player down low, using her quickness and beating them to a position for an easy score, (Finding gaps in the Motion Offense) and finally on occasion coming off a screen for an outside shot beyond the arc.. I'm sure we are all aware you don't have to be a "post player" to score in the post, many teams will try to post up their guards if that is the best match up on a given night, having an offense which places the defense at a disadvantage is the typical goal for each team.. and being able to score from any place on the floor with proper spacing and balance.. With all of that said, what exactly is Playing out of position? Teams who are still thinking with that position structured mentality will always struggle against Geno as he is the master at finding and exploiting a teams weakness.. [/QUOTE]
