Message: [QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 4587412, member: 470"] I’m not necessarily sure there are better shooters, perhaps that is true. The volume of shots certainly seems much higher. But the number of good shooters has expanded exponentially. 10+ years ago, maybe you’d see 2 good shooters on the court for a team and there’d be defined PF, C and even SF’s that weren’t shooters. Now, teams have shooters all over the floor which makes the zone that much more difficult to play. Before you could rely on the C being planted in the paint and not have to worry as much about forwards. Guards could pack it in a bit more (more length and athleticism certainly helped there too). Everything is more wide open now, the zone is stretched out and with bigs that can hit jumpers and 3’s, you really can’t guard good offense anymore. [/QUOTE]
