Message: [QUOTE="ibleedhuskyblue, post: 4933373, member: 149"] This is the entire point. If everyone can play on the perimeter, then the post is more open. You don't need a 7 footer in that scenario because a wing/guard can beat his man and have an open shot at the basket. It's why a WR always has a bit of an advantage over a DB, because 1 of them knows where he's going, and the other one has to react. A 5-out offense makes it so that ANYONE can score in the post, not just the Center....although on the occasion that they want to, the C certainly can as well. At issue is whether or not teams use it that way. The good teams do lot's of cutting to the basket. (our very own UConn Huskies for example) They use the 3 to open up the floor. That is a product of good scheming. The lousy teams take 3's because they can't figure out anything better to do because they aren't well coached. That's an entirely different conversation. [/QUOTE]
