Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 3155716, member: 6819"] The only way this works is if a team adopts the Houston Rockets style of BB. That is, start at the arc. If the defender is off you hoist the 3. If he closes to fast, dribble penetrate and go for the layup. Get your defender in the air and get the foul shot. The analytics say these are the shots that get the most bang for your buck. The problem is 1) If your big scorer is cold others have to take up the slack from the line [B]and[/B] have the ability to penetrate and draw the foul. 2) During high leverage moments and games, conference playoffs and championship games, referee's tend to let players play and allow more physical play. This has the effect of both throwing off a players shots and reduces the amount of FT's. It gets into players heads. Meaning this style has yet to show it's a championship style. [/QUOTE]
