In the current NBA there seems to be a rise of Bigs who can shoot the 3 ball. Is there any place for that here? And which tactic would work best for getting the Bigs to shoot 3s?

I've found motion works, especially for the PF. Logically I'd suspect run and gun would do the same but haven't used it as much. It really only works when the opposing big has really poor OD as far as I know otherwise I think the game engine still prefers to use the guards.

For Motion, everyone (bigs included) need to have a decent amount of HA and PA. Some DR on your bigs helps as well. In Run and Gun, there are more threes taken and the pace is faster. I'm not sure how much JS is needed for a big to make shots consistently, but your bigs probably could do with less HA and PA than they would need in Motion.

Motion does give quite a lot of shots to PF, but his outside shooting skills should be substantial.

That's a point I should have made. Recent seasons I've been playing a SF at PF so he does have outside shooting skills.

Princeton gives a lot of "outside" shots for your PF when your Center is a great passer.

Only in the dark, we succeed!

A former user who used Princeton extensively said that HA and DR were also needed, as the bigs may attempt numerous drives. He also stated that Princeton may give your team stretches where they can only score 2 points in 10 minutes :D
