So, I was wondering if anyone had any experience, or even better, analysis of wether it is possible to run a true small ball line-up. The PG, SG, SF, PF, C system that BB is coded to doesn't appear to allow for you to play small ball and run a 4 guard set. Has anyone successfully run 4 guards against the competition?

What I'm worried about is that the mismatch would only go against you even though in realitiy it is a legit strategy. If you ran motion, run and gun, or princeton would your 4 guards stay on the outside and shoot 3s or would your guard designated to the PF position try and post up and not hypothetically pull the PF out to the perimeter? The reason I ask is because I have a guard heavy team that won't be able to handle the dominant inside teams in a straight up game. Is there any way to go small ball and try a Run and Gun, Full Court attack to even the odds?

So yeah, anyone try this?
