Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2499184, member: 1414"] Recruiting and development are critical for sure. But take a look at the top of the NBA standings and you will see teams playing a very different style. The advanced metrics seem to be pretty clear, dunks, layups and threes. Design your offense to get those shots. And recruit players to make those shots. Our offense, even when it works, mostly generates the least efficient shots in basketball, the midrange jump shot and floater. The game may change back at some point. But the shift we’ve seen in the last 5+ years is similar to the way the 49ers changed the NFL. Basketball is now a 3 Point shooting contest, with ball movement designed to get open 3s first, even pulling bigs outside to guard bigs who can shoot. It’s an outside -in offense instead of the reverse. [/QUOTE]
