What are your thoughts on the builds for the big men in Princeton offense? I havent had much experience with this offence but am aware that passing is important.


Passing is definitely important but that's actually true for every offense - having good passing down low can lead to big men dishing it to each other for easy buckets much more frequently. For Princeton, I think you'd also want good driving and JS, and good JR - it doesn't need to be 15 but if you can get it to higher than the OD of the guys guarding them that helps.

Man will i have to open up my valet when i get a team for this! Not even my 3M$ PG/SG gets the job done there


Well, if you get high enough that you're facing double-digit OD on big men, of course, that may not be entirely practical. But I've got a 10/8 JS/JR trainee who is shooting right about 50% from three this season at PF/C.

Hey Manon, since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable and willing to help, would you mind throwing in your 2 cents about a potential finalized PF build for the my guy in the first post?

Or anyone else for that matter. I was planning on just rotating between ID, IS, REB until he maxes out.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I guess I'll continue as is and maybe add some JS later on as an afterthought, it's really cheap on PFs anyway, right?

Don't train JS anymore.
Old rule says: If potential of big man is equal to N then JS shouldn't be trained higher than N+2.
Because JS under N+2 is for free, whilst above N+2 it becomes expensive.

Princeton offense basically every position can shoot. I don't think emphasizing JS is necessarily important but JR will come in handy, as will passing. Think of the triangle offense Phil Jackson runs. I would just get well-rounded players at every position. Easier said than done.
