[continue...] Or that's why I created 4 models of small fowrards, balanced, internal, external and defensive (if needed I'll write the requirement
). Because if for example the team lacks of external shooters, a small forward like Dino was is necessary. It's a common way of thinking that to play look inside for example you have only to set a lineup with Insider shooters, but that's not true at all.
Because if your flow is not enough against the opponent's OD, your playmaker won't be able to reach the big men and will try to pass the ball to the best Jump shooter available. And if JS is low then the shot will be missed.
Same goes against 2-3 zone or Gdp, whenever your big men are not capable to shoot.
Example:
(45401)Here we had some bad luck because our SF Mezzogori got injured after 2 minutes. Australian big men were better than ours, I hit the right tactic by misleading his prediction, but Belloni was our better Jump shooter, so everytime our PF and C didn't take the shot, the ball went over Belloni, which had the worst Matchup Rating, so we wasted shots.
Another example in Italy's Cup final last season:
(100686355)Superocco team was way better than his opponent's. But he somehow decided to put three big men in SF PF C spots, with only one shooter in PG. The 2-3 set by Mighty Mice made a lot more difficult to reach the Bigs, so the ball went outside and you can see that half of the total Field goals attempted were done by PG and SG (40 over 83).
This is just to provide an example on how a well structured roster can overcome some difficulties
7) I hope so. I'm always confident and even if I know there are some difficulties and problems I can't wait to begin.
My first goal would be to have fun, to carry some enthusiasm in the forum, to help people to come out and live the GILAS together with us. Can't say right now how the future will look like, but I didn't choose you thinking it would have been easy
It will require work, so let's do this!
