Message: [QUOTE="NYCorange, post: 2777331, member: 4918"] There are definitely challenges involved. But guards posting up is definitely becoming a super important part of lots of NBA offenses. You see the best offenses doing it a lot, especially Golden State with Livingston and Thompson. The way that they get around the challenges is to run action away from the play to distract. If the Golden State's center is setting an off ball pick for Steph Curry on one side of the floor, there's not much attention that his defender can spare for the post-up that Livingston is setting up on the other side. And the post up is less about scoring in the post now as it is about opening up possibilities for cutters and shooters. [/QUOTE]
