Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3376494, member: 55"] Obviously, your offense should be designed differently based on whether you're playing with a low-post, back to the basket Center on offense versus one who is comfortable playing on the perimeter and being able to catch and shoot at the foul line extended. Carlton is the first type. If you don't get him the ball and make the other team double him, then all you're accomplishing is making sure at least one big on defense is in the lane when a guard drives. But if you get him the ball, on a good day he'll score off most bigs he's playing against (after looking ugly for the first possession or two) unless he's double teamed, and if he is double teamed the entire offense opens up. Said another way, if you aren't going to make sure your low post big has to be doubled, then you are better off with a more mobile, better jump shooting big so you can keep the lane open. [/QUOTE]
