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.
