Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4804995, member: 1026"] A decent theory but NBA teams have way more stats and data then you do and they are doing what they are doing. Plus facts are the post-up moves and skills aren't favored, taught or practiced now in favor of the glory of shooting 3's. Teams can exploit this, Nova guards all having post-up games comes to mind. It drives many of us crazy that its all 3s and the 5-out offenses are too proliferate. Yet we still have 1-2 players stepping out of bounds every NBA game b/c maximizing the spacing by keeping defenders as far out of the paint as possible is more important than those 1 or 2 TO's. Equally offensive rebounding is totally de-emphasized b/c NBA teams have determined the risk of easy fast-break points is too great so that math is something like 40% offensive rebound x 70% 2pter < 60% defensive rebound x 50% x (35% x 3 + 55% x 2) = scoring that too much easier in transition.
