I know I'm not the only one who doesn't consider casey/nurse's "offence" real basketball, and we all complain about it enough so let's try something a little more constructive, what sets do we think would work well for our personell?
some I think would work well
Lowry-Horns elevator (ball movement and then a nice open look at the 3, would also work for vasquez, ross and patterson)
Derozan-Pinch post pick and roll (his handles and passing are much better and he's a pretty explosive player think he could work with some open court space. could also work for lowry williams and vasquez, and a big maybe for ross and james)
Ross-horns pin down(I'll take a 3, even if he is streaky is % is pretty good, and if he steps in to the elbowish where the play normally puts him I think he makes most of his jumpers from that range. also for lowry derozan and williams)
Valanciunas-wing offball screen for him while diversion high pnr goes on(gets him great deep low post position, and to say he's decent from their this season is a bit of an understatement. could work for our other bigs too, but low post jv is our best option by a pretty long way.)
Amir-I don't know, I know he's great at finishing pnr's and I hear vasquez used to be a pnr maestro, maybe try some of that?
Williams-Any play where he doesn't dribble the ball at centre court for 14 seconds, seriously he's pretty good at catch and shoot 3's interchange him with lowry or ross to get open 3's for him.
Patterson-Patterson's kind of hard cos he is so versatile, he could probably do Ross' plays and mix up the pnr's to pick n pops which is nice, but for god sake he's so much more than a spot up shooter, don't make him a spot up shooter then complain about his rebounding.
Vasquez-more passing plays, see Amir, I don't know for him either really, any of lowry or derozan's I guess.
a lot of the plays are interchangeable too of course, the requirements are usually one of size, 3 point stroke, handles.
yes some are plays we used to run or still do(very occasionally) but they work, and they're better than step back 3s.
and the 3 man weave we do at the beginning of some plays is a waste of time, at least the way we do it.
any thoughts?
other plays that would be better than step left shoot a 3?
