I was very intrigued about all the posts about Princeton and how a lot of people described how it was going to work with the right players. Now after trying it and all other outside options i have grown more fond of RnG and Outside Iso then Princeton. Probably just because they both involve my outside focused bigs into the game more then what Princeton does.
It was a long time since i read any of the post now and cant really remember a lot from them.
But i'm still probably more sold on the idea of how the offense is thought to work then how it actually does work.
Lets say your putting together a team for it what skills would be important for each position?
So far all it does for me is show big numbers of 3s on my guards.
Unfortunately, the best answer to "what skills are important" in this case is: maybe not stamina if you have a bench. Well, and the defensive skills technically don't contribute to the offense but they are what helps a team win. ;)
But what I've definitely noticed is that it loves driving if you have that and JS and JR if you have that. My shot breakdown ends up being slightly more jumpers than threes, then a lot fewer drives and even less than that for inside shots. It also needs passing everywhere - and I'm probably a little deficient on that front since I've got a lot of guys with decent passing but no really great passers. I suppose if I had more IS on my trainees (well, two of the three are low at least) I might hit more of the contested drives, though I think that of the offensive skills that's probably the safest to keep low for Princeton.
