From what I've been told, every player on the team needs to be able to shoot, handle the ball, penetrate and have good passing. The guards will probably need above average JS and JR. The bigs need above average guard skills, but don't need a lot of IS. Ask this guy: (30851). He runs Princeton and has found some success with it.

based on some of the previous discussion that people have had, your main shooters in this offense are:

PF + SF + SG.
then PG
then C

and the types of shots as well. PF shooting Jumpshots, SG and SF lots of JS and Drives.
very little post up.

im actually toying with the idea that - Ur guys need less IS and more JS + JR + DR.

so if i had a $50k PF of around Per-allstar potential, and he caps at around, say, Tremendous IS + ID + RB, id be looking at trying to transfer at least a few of those IS skill points into JS and DR.
if he had Tremendous JS and DR (and say, Strong JR) , but prolific IS, i reckon you would be on a winner for the PF.

as an aside, good luck finding that guy on the transfer market!

I agree with this idea. I know a user who uses Princeton often, and he has said the same thing concerning his bigs.

I'm not sure, and I apologize if someone else has asked, but is it better if guards have some IS in Princeton?

I think guards with IS is good for ANY offense!

Obviously to a point though, anything Inept or below is a waste in my opinion, if you get a guard with Strong IS, i think its pretty good. above that is even better obviously

Princeton is one of 4 offenses I run relatively regularly. II, LI, R&G being the others (Princeton would probably be #2, behind II). As has been said, good passing, good outside shooting - and it helps to have a very good shooting SG/SF (well done captain obvious!)... preferably both.
Over the last 2 seasons, I've had quite a bit of success with it (and II) - mainly because of my PF & C.

Agreed.
