Just wondering if anyone is willing to share experience - for a motion offense, what are the considerations in which player(s) ends up taking the most shots? thanks in advance...

The idea of motion is to pass the ball around until you get a player who has the best chance of hitting the shot has the ball in a good position. It strongly favors outside players. So lets say you have the following matchups.

PG Prominent JS Defender Prominent OD
SG Sensational JS Defender Wondrous OD
SF Stong JS Defender Respectable OD

In this scenario your SF should take the most shots and your SG should take the least, but trust me it rarely works out this way especially if your offensive flow isn't as good as the opponents defence.

In my experience it favors the Outside much more. I had a 8.6k SG, a 7k PF, a 7k PG, a 3k C and a 4.8k SF and my SG took the most shots by far, followed by SF and then PG. That was quite a long time ago though. Now I play LI! I still love Motion though......

Their JS was quite high but they sucked at Passing
