Not sure if an NBA 3-2 with say Mutombo and Mourning would not have closed the zone quite well. They implemented positional requirements precicely to prevent that.

Now that I've had time to think about it for a little longer, it doesn't matter what defense you run against outside offenses because they're hopelessly broken.

(90486373)

The fact that I lost doesn't bother me much. But the fact that yet again, a position where there was a 114.9 PP100 predicted had a starter go 1-11 from three (and 4-18 overall) and the backup go 1-2 (4-7 overall). This is not at all an outlier, unfortunately, and of course yet again it's a PF shutting down an outside shooter. I need to take the time sometime and go through and log all the times where I was running Princeton and the SG would be calculated to have 90 or 100 PP100 and put up a turdtastic day like this, if only so we can at least have it documented somewhere.

Never? I counted at least 16 full games (46-48 minutes) played at PG in that guy's entire career. He's got OD. His rating is also inflated by virtue of that team playing with bigger effort. All in all I'd say that such rotten shooting isn't that surprising.

EDIT: it's actually 23 whole games at PG in total. I doubt many of these training sessions went towards PA. There's also the fact that the winning team played at home.


If that level of OD (maybe 13-14?) is enough to hold a guy who has 14 JR to less than 10% from beyond the arc, I think that sums up my point.

(And if his OD really was that good, my SF wouldn't have been projected to have 114.9 PP100, although of course it might just be that PP100 is broken and outside shooting really is working as intended, which is to say not at all).
