[QUOTE="Gabjon, post: 2988120, member: 990"]
Our offensive systems requires front line players who can score in the low post or mid range. We have NEVER had a good team that cannot score from the post or mid range. When we are at our best our 3s come from "specialist" i.e. Cooney, Southerland, Young Andy, or Player that can score from all three levels i.e. Melo, Shumpert, Senior Dmic, Senior C.J. Fair.

The reason for this is simply we recruit to the Zone meaning we rarely play threes guards and we never play fours guards unless its for foul shooting purposes at the end of games.

Our Transition game is spurred by two main factors 1) deflections and steals. 2) long rebounds largely from missed 3s.

The problem with shooting too many threes is it produces long missing, which fuels our opponents transition game, and beat the zone down court will always be the easiest way to beat us.

If you look at this year's team Brissett had to be your efficient scorer from the mid-range it balances the floor and provides offenses rebounding opportunities ours centers (i.e. the keys Craig Forth put back that wins us the big one)

When we beat Duke on Feb. 1 2014 our first meeting as ACC foes we were 3-4 from 3 and they were 15-36. We ran their misses down their throat.
