Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3950693, member: 9844"] I think there will always be a place for dominant low post scorers, because when you have that, it is a great weapon for very high efficiency shots and getting teams in foul trouble. When combined with outside shooting talent, a big that requires double teaming is about the best thing that can happen for a deadly three point shooter. Clearly position-less has evolved along with a greater emphasis on the three. I think the type of player that is being fazed out more, is the wing or guard that can't shoot the three. It used to be that you had to have at least one or two three point threats, but now positions 1-3 are expected to be good from there. If you have a quality player 1-3 that is not good from the three, teams may now try to compensate for that with a 4 that can, for example. Trying to maximize low post scoring and spacing has made the need for a "second" low post scorer relatively less important as well, compared to an additional three point shooter. But having a low post option from somebody is still very important. As we can see with our own team, when Liv can't score down low against a top notch big, the rest of our offense stalls as well.
