1. Do you have enough game to "draw 2"? Guys get paid to DRAW 2 and allow others to play 4 on 3.
2. Offensive movement.
CWebb breaks down elements from GSW. 1 can also basket cut instead or come off 4 with the handoff. Draymond Green's versatility at the 4 makes things happen.
3. What "critical actions" belong to 2017 guards? The simple answer is to go downhill and have the counter (off the screen-and-roll). This is classic Pete Newell.
a) Get to the rim. (7 of top 10 layup scorers are guards...Westbrook, Curry, Isaiah Thomas)
b) Get shots (e.g. floaters and short two-footed shots) in the paint, drawing help
c) Make shots off the PnR when defenders go under
4. The struggle to defend great players...don't surrender layups and free throws (two of the key analytic drivers)...
5.The era of the small man...can't touch them and officials let them get away with pushing off (video demonstrates this).
Kenny Smith discussed the advantage of playing with a transcendent post player...getting options because their defender left to double (opened threes and basket cuts). Point for young players LINE OF SIGHT...another way to say this the BALL IS A CAMERA...it has to see you.
Dennis Scott emphasizes second chance threes. You miss, then relocate and the offensive rebounder finds you.
