motion is good, but it does not do all this.


Definitely not. But it's probably the closest thing.

If only you could make motion consistently take shots around the basket, too.

And generally, if there is going to be a weak link, it will be at SF.


Hence why I always sink most of my monies into a SF.

I know, but he's a 126k PF he shouldnt have to pass against inferior defense. 10 shot attempts is awfully low for an inside ISO. And he has 14 JS so that shouldnt be a problem either.

Any case, I just wanted to share my experience to add to the cases we can study. One of the guards in that game has 16 DR/10 IS so maybe that triggers the GE too in inside ISO?


He probably would have taken a lot more shots in a low post - they'd dump the ball down low, he'd look and say "Can I dunk over this scrub? Yes I can!". In the iso I always ask what would the guy do if you gave him the ball out near the three point line? He might drive some, shoot some, pass some and occasionally the ball will get back to him down low for a dunk. Against a 2-3, I imagine that he'd drive some, and then with the guards pretty consistently open for jumpers, those would look very appealing.

I had some good success with Outside ISO with this setup:

PG: Low shooting, good DR/HA/PA
SG: a PF with good DR/HA/PA
SF: The best shooter
PF: a SF and 2nd best shooter of the team
C: normal C

SG, PF and especially SF took the most shots. I think you have to look for mismatches here. If an opponent is playing SF with good OD, the setup above is almost useless, unless you swith SG and SF so SG takes the most shots.

On the defense you have to switch them of course.

I completely agree with you about mismatch issue. The nature of isolation offences is based on 1 on 1 skills, regardlass of whether inside or outside oriented. Therefore one should pay an extra attention to DR, more generally players ability to create his own shot.

Then question arises, which skills are crucial or determiner to create one's own shot?
1. First and foremost skill is DR (to beat defender)
2. IS and OS (to take advantage of mismatch and to acquire relatively high FG percentage)
3. HA and PA (to avoid turnovers when facing a top class defender)

In terms of BB, inside/outside means only which player on the pitch will be chosen to perform isolation offence.
It certainly does not mean the area from which shots will be used, this is why both II and OI are classified as neutral-focused offences.
