Lets say my opponent is playing a 3-2 zone.
I have 1 good SG (10/10 JS/JR).
I have 1 good C (10 IS).
All other shooters are Respectable at IS/JS/JR.
Lets say my opponent has slightly weaker Inside Defence than Outside Defence.
Lets say the other team is much better than my team in all aspects.
Should I play Push the Ball, or Look Inside, or Low Post? Or maybe something else?

My concern with playing Push the Ball is that it might not exploit the weakness in the 3-2 zone combined with the slightly lower inside defence. My concern with Look Inside is that my SG, who is my only real good shooter besides the center with 10 IS, will not be used much, is that true? This is also my concern with Low Post, but I thought considering the team is far better it would benefit me to play Look Inside rather than Low Post because Low Post is slower and allows more chance for turnovers. Is there a difference between Look Inside and Low Post besides the pace?

Any thoughts?

Anyone?

I believe Low Post depends very strongly on your PF and C scoring abilities. It means that your guards will try to pass the ball down-low every possession and wait for what your big men produce. Look inside involves more guard production, most of the time they will also pass the ball inside but sometimes they will try to penetrate or shoot from distance if there is not a good option inside. So if your big men are much better than rest of the team, play Low Post, but if your guards and SF also have solid DR and JR abilities, youre better-off using Look Inside as it gives you more options.

Thanks

it seems that LI or LP would work best here, but depends on other aspects
can you put a decent driving and passing sf for LI?
the reason many feel outside offence is better than inside ones is because you normally play inside with a PF as SF and they usually pass and drive worse than guards.

if you can, inside tactic will probably work just fine
the decision between LI and LP depends on home/away, and offensive flow
generally i want to slow down if the opponent is a good shooting team, or if he has bad flow
slowing down would make him pass more - hence - more TO
if your shooting is much higher than his D, i would go faster to get more shots.
i dont know of any difference between LI and LP besides pace.

hope i've been helping

Cheers, he is a much better team. Well I just sold my SF so need to buy another one and looking for one with good passing at the moment. And I am playing away. I'll probably have to play TIE and concede the match, but was just wondering on the right tactics anyway. His offensive flow rating is better than fine. His defence is also better than mine lol. I have a good shooting center, and a good shooting guard. I have a decent point guard with high driving but not much passing.

So I am looking to buy a SF now, what do you think I need in an SF? ID and OD with good Passing? Anything else?

i have 2 SFs, for inside and outside purposes

if you want just one, then i suggest high OD, and reasonable ID, good reb (7+), reasonable DV and passing (6+)
shooting is also important

now you see why i have 2
having your SF to be a good inside and outside player is tough
i somewhat prefer outside skills on inside ones for SF, but you can't have a too weak rebounder or defender in that spot
if you go for inside SF, driving is quite important

Thanks. I'll have to save up for a while :P
