What kind of players do you have to have to be able to run an effective patient offensive, I read the other thread but i still don't know what kind of players would make a successful patient offense. but i do know or i think that passing is one of them? But what other skills does ones team need to run this offense.

Oh, and is patient similar to the kind of offense that the phoenix suns use to run?

The Suns play anything but patient.
7 seconds or less is (very sadly) no longer in use, but with Stevie on the 1 you won´t ever run a patient offense. It´s still one of the fastest paced offense styles, the Suns are playing. Although I really don´t know what the Suns owners plan next to finally ruin this franchise... maybe they force Steve to run a patient offense...^^

With Patient in BB, you will need a PS-monster at least on the 1, on the 2 PS doesn´t hurt, and then your backcourt will search for the best JS/OD mismatch for your team, and this mismatch will be used in 99% of your offensive plays.
The best results may come with a perimeter shooter at the 4 or even at the 5, as it is easiest to find the mismatch there. It though is a lot harder to get a mismatch when your opponent is playing a zone defense. Then it´s very hard for your team to be successful with patient.
But when you need very detailed info and advise about Patient, just have a look on this thread. (187125.1)

Oh, ok thanks. Yeah about phoenix suns, i thought that Steve Nash was a patient passer, but i know now that they use run & gun, but any way thanks.
