Message: [QUOTE="orangefan13, post: 132356, member: 906"] When you are a swingman on the perimeter as the third scoring option you don't need to force passes as much unless the team formula supports it. Heres a few of my observations. Not sure I am right but just my two cents. 1.Triche is not the penetrator Dion and Scoop are. They force themsleves into positions sometimes where he has to throw the ball into traffic or offbalence off the dribble to adviod travels and up and downs. It just naturally happens when opponents defenses start overcompestating left or right and doubling. 2. Triche tends to make a swingpass on the perimeter more often then a long pass into the low post. Think back to Rautins and his long low post passes because AO was in the high post drawing a defender out of the paint. With Wes and Rautins on the perimeter that only left the opposition one defender in the right or left side of the low post We ran our offense so one weakside to the basket was open. 3. We have the dribbling trio in Scoop, Waiters and KJo so why force long LONG passes that have a chance at getting tipped when we have that much dribble isolation? Plus Fair is going to find more dribble isolation as he continues to knock down his midrange J. 4. Early in the year with Scoop starting we needed Triche to step up as the second scoring threat instead of forcing passes like a PG. Now that Scoop and melo are more in a scoring rythum Triche can make that extra swing pass. 5.When you got KJO driving passing to Scoop who drives one or two dribbles swings it to Triche who advoids a three with a defender flying at him for a pass to a wide open Southerland or CJ thats just a simple assist for Triche. Really all four guys deserve the assist. Including the one who got open to knock down the shot(who assits himself by being in the right postion). [/QUOTE]
