I haven't read everything here but I wanted to say something.

Anyone think that maybe the 2-3 actually does what it's suppose to in the fact that it cuts down the shots from the bigs? Therefor the LI isn't as effective and it relies on the guards to drive inside or shoot outside. However, everyone says the 2-3 kills you and doesn't work. If you look at it though, it's figuring out how to defend the guards. With drives it takes SBing. In a Syracuse 2-3 the center is supposed to be a good shot blocker, but on BB people use guys with 10SB and expect to have a great 2-3. I want to know if you guys have ever used bigs with 16+SBing in a 2-3 and how effective that was ;)?

I guess when you compare 2-3 to 3-2 you also need to think about shot distribution. From my own observation it seems that the 2-3 forces the guards to shoot more where as the 3-2 gets the bigs to shoot a lot, no? So, in a LI which players should you be more afraid of? The bigs or the guards? I guess that depends on who you are playing and their players. I would rather take my chance having the guards in a LI taking shots and drives rather than the bigs since really efficient bigs can convert 60% of their shots.

Right you say guards will take more shots given it is a LI and it will be more with a 2-3 than man to man. By if you think about it, in man to man the bigs get lots of chances, which end in a higher percentage of makes. However, guards don't seem to have as good of a percentage (some may but lots don't) so the 2-3 defense forces more work on the guards which is actually better when playing against a LI. So if you know you are playing against a team that has stacked bigs then why not force the guards to do more work?

Wait, what offense are you talking about though? I have has several good outside shooters during my time on here but when I run a LI offense they still rarely shoot from outside. They attack the paint with more shots from around the free throw line and less from the sides. But I rarely get lots of outside shots. Even while running PTB, it seems they still attack the 2-3 and look to get shots from around the free throw line. In an outside oriented offense I can see what you are talking about, not so much from the LI though.
