I used it alot in the last season.
I had good shooters in position 1-4, and a C with great passing skills (for a Center).
It was very effective, because my Pf had high Js and Jr, and created many missmatches with the opposing Pf.
I noticed, that a player with more driving then JS/JR destroys this tactic, cause he takes many shots and misses too many.

You dont miss many shots, so you dont need good rebounders for this tactic. What you need are balanced players on PF and C, they need handling and passing, or you will create many turnovers.

facepalm.

they key to this tactic is driving and passing.
having each player able to shoot 3's and finish close to the ring.

center needs high driving as well , pg , sg and sf need high driving as well, pf basically runs the offense so he will need high passing

I play Princeton very often, and I just cannot confirm that the offense is run mostly by the PF. I think it highly depends on the player´s skill and the opponent´s defense.
My offense is mainly run by my SF (∅ 21.5 pts.), secondly by my SG (∅ 15 pts.) and thirdly by my PG (∅ 11.5 pts.). So it still depends on the mismatches and the decisions your PG makes.
Beyond doubt the PF plays a key role in the Princeton tactics, but it´s a lot more than just a superstar PF.

I tottally agree with you Thunder Dan.
A cypriot GM (JohnnyB if you know him) did a research one or two seasons ago and proved that Driving is not important for BigMen in any tactic. That makes sense. A BigMan is inside all the time. He receives the ball in the Low Post (at least in the elbow) so he doesn't have space to run 'n' drive and he prefers to post his opponent.
So, in Princeton (which I play in any case I can) the 'keys' are Passing and Jump Range. In real life, teams that play Princeton (I remember the Sacramento Kings playin it) don't have a superstar but 5 keen passers, who don't drive but pass till a good chance is found.

My post was related to one of my two Sf´s. He has high driving, but his shoot isnt as good as of the rest of my team. He takes many shoots, but because he isnt good at this he misses too many.


I think its different, if you have high passing skills, you dont really need the driving. You pass the ball around until there is a opening. You are not giving your superstar the ball and telling him to create his chance. Oc driving doesnt hurt (as long as its not too high).
