[QUOTE="Gabjon, post: 1733853, member: 990"]
Our offense works best when we have forwards who are triple threat players (post, mid-range, and 3-point line) and/or a post player at the 5 who can consistently score.  (Melo, Wallace, Coleman,etc) 5/4 combos (AO and Ricky) (blackwell and Thomas). Post play is key to the motion offense which JB has historically run. This year we basically ran Duke's offense which is designed to take a lot of threes and drive the ball for layups or to get fouled. I am personally not a fan of this offense, but kids don't learn how to play in the post anymore so running motion is becoming harder.  Duke's offense runs better with a guard that can breakdown the defense off the bounce (Jay Williams, Bobby Hurley,etc) but we can get guards who are long enough to play the zone and be good off of the bounce.

The Zone doesn't work well when a team has a post player and/or a guy who can play in the mid-range surrounded with shooter, but NO defense works well against teams built like that.
