1) What is the best offensive tactics in order to make a PG prefer driving (in order to try to get the opposite guards into the foul trouble) rather than passing?

2) What is the best defensive tactics to stop such "driving" guards?

Thanks

I read tactics help before I posted this thread. There is no specific answer to my questions.

1. its a really tough question. I guess your PGs should have driving skill much bigger then the rest of the team and bad passing. That way they will take more shots. But I'm not sure 100%. Something that specific was announced to be implemented in bb. Tactic? I guess something fast - run and gun?

2. 3-2 zone? Good PGs?

For guy above me, look inside is for big men.

1) not positive, but maybe run and gun

2) 2-3 and i'm almost positive

1)For my entire BB career minus maybe 7 games, I've used Run and Gun, and from what I've seen, that doesn't help; maybe because my PG's have low driving, but IDK.
If I had a guess, try low post or motion.... I'm sorry but to this answer I have low confidence.

2) 2-3 Zone is more effective at stopping an effort inside, so I'm gonna say either 2-3 zone or perhaps 1-3-1 zone, but I don't know this much either.

1. patient or princetion, the pg need to have an aggressive trend and his outside skill need to be a few lv above opponent guards, the sg prefer to have high range therefore creating the the space for ur pg to make the move

2. have better OD defenders for M2M. if u know u have a hole in ur def, use 3-2 and switch ur best OD defender(with low aggressive) at PG

Thanks for all the answers so far. I`ll try to convert my questions into numbers. I recently bought a player with 17 JS, 10 JR and OD, 15 Driving and 13 handling, but only 8 in passing and 2 in ID. Training him is not an option since he`s quite old and I`m training inside skills. I want to make him a PG which penetrates a lot and either finishes with layups (7 on IS) or makes the opponent guards to commit a foul, or maybe simply shoots from the middle distance, while passes are the last option in offence. Just like young Kobe

on the other hand I`d like to avoid leaving him alone inside since he`s awful ID. Last game vs. a very strong opp, I played R&G and 2/3 zone. Offencively, he made a lot of shots and the persentage was fantastic (41 points), but he didn`t make the opposite guards foul. Defensively, things were much worse. The opp. PG scored even more than mine and I lost the game. Princeton seems to be a very interesting idea. Probably I`ll try it next game. But 2/3 zone did not work. Maybe M2M with switch?

Anyway, other thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks again.
