Hi All,

Just wondering, which tactics should be beneficial from this arrangement if I start playing my centre in SF position? I am thinking of (i) Look Inside (ii) Low Post (iii) Inside Isolation.

My centre (19464373) has average (6) in both driving and passing, inept (4) in both JS and JR. As my next game is going to play against the team who is at the bottom of standing, I would like to make a trial on the offense tactics.

Then, I will switch the centre to defend the opponent's centre.

Any suggestion is welcome.

If you'll be playing three bigs at the 345 spots then play look inside and make sure you have guards with high passing and handling. I've played my center and my PF at the SF spot before and it works pretty well. They take a lot of shots.

Don't play Inside Isolation, that will likely have the exact opposite effect that you're looking for.

I would play either Look Inside or Low Post depending on who you plan to start at Center.

My PG are pretty good at passing and handling, while my SG are just strong (8) at both passing and handling, hope this would be good enough.

Hope that inept (4) at JS and JR would not have any adverse effect to the SF position.

The jumpshot will hurt a little you a little but I doubt the range matters. As long as you can get the ball inside you're team shouldn't be taking very many 3-pointers playing LI.

What level DR does your C have? DR is also an important skill for LI.

Only average (6) at driving ... Hope he will be fine tonight ... The following is the proposed lineup for tonight's game:

C plays in SF position
SF plays in PF position
PF plays in C position

I will post the result here anyway.

Note: Why dont you recommend inside isolation? Any bad experience?
