I am really glad that in reality, those guys are close to 7 foot, and have inside skills. And largely don't shoot 39 jump shots per game.

I don't know about Dirk never putting up 39 Shots in a game... but I think he did do that quite regularly.

Channing is hitting about 80% of his shots beyond the arc, and he clearly is a bad rebounder.
Dirk is another great example for an outside shooting Big Man. These kind of players do exist in reality...

Has anyone tried that against a zone defense? In theory this should only work against a Man to Man, right? In a zone defense a decent perimeter defender could take over to defend the Dirk´s and Channing´s and you can´t create that kind of mismatch.

well, yes and no. If you have four good outside shooters and play against a 3-2 zone, one guy will be open most of the time.

Another useful study would be to find out how Patient (when there is only one player playing out of position) works against a Box and One tactic.

From my understanding, the Box-and-One tactic should be the best one against a Patient tactic, where one player dominates.

my next project would be testing Patient with five guards, as i think it would work like a charm, but i only have three guards..


This will be very dificult on the defensive end. ID and REB will be given up.

I´ve just tried a "light version" of your style in my latest PL game (35660889). My outside orientated SF played as C, and I switched my PF and C one position away from the basket. But it didn´t work out as expected, my SF-Center took a lot less shots than I hoped and he had 8-17 shots, which doesn´t look like he really dominated his opposing C. Maybe I should try it with my SG next time to see if it works better.
