Possible it could work better. You run into problems with offensive flow, though. Even if you have, say, 5-6 passing on all of your PF/C, then you're still in a situation where a team with good OD could force you into taking a lot of perimeter shots, which you're not going to make.


But that's the thing - if you're running a patient with a good shooter and he happens to be guarded by a poor OD defender, he is going to make a lot of shots. I still think it's not a tactic you can rely routinely on since a 3-2 would greatly reduce the number of times your out-of-position shooter will be matched up with a poor outside defender, but as a one-off it can be viable to a point.

You're absolutely right. I should add to my previous two posts that it's entirely possible it could work given the right matchups, but I don't think it would be effective on a regular basis, especially versus a well-rounded team.

i've had this game last season wherein i entirely reversed my line-up offensively. i put my center who has a respectable passing at PG and put my best outside shooter at C and played Patient for my offensive tactic. then played man to man and reversed the match-ups so my pg (which is actually a C) will guard his C and vise versa.

here's the result...

Looks like you lost because the other team played CT on you or was normal while you were at TIE. It worked out for your player you put in at center though, perhaps if your team had another scoring option or went C-SG-SF-PF-PG then you would have worked out better for you as your other positions would have been better suited for their skills and your PG wouldn't have had to take 43 shots.

More likely something like:
PG-SF-PF-C-SG, with defensive assignments swapped.

I just tried similar arrangement (PG-SG-PF-C-SF) , with defensive assignments swapped accordingly ...

(59620158) ... My big question is the player in C position did not make any point from 3PT, his 13 JS, 11 JR and 9 DR did not help at all. With the Princeton strategy, it seems to me that he did not take any advantage at all.

Putting my PF into SF position is another issue, possibly JS/JR might not be good enough (He has 6 JS and 6 JR) at SF position.

there was a team in the abbl this season that ran a pg @ c in patient the entire season

they didn't win much as the team was @ the salary floor but their pg leads the league in scoring
