Which offense is best for jacking up a ton of threes?

i guess i would say, all of them? i could see an argument for flex or fastbreak i suppose, or anything but motion. i like to run heavy 3-pt motion offenses but i sometimes feel like it is possible to overdo it there

Flex-triangle-FB-motion is how is rate perimeter value. Not a lot of difference between 2-4, but I have per valued a bit higher for flex. On the flip side of what gil said, trying to run a flex offense without good perimeter is rolling a boulder uphill.

Define "best". For once I agree with both shoe and gil! Wow!

Motion by far the least. But not because of anything that stands out about motion itself. But instead because of what the other three offenses have to do with it.

If best means "volume", or if it means "I wanna shoot 3s all night and score 150 each game", well that would be fastbreak. 3 is more than 2. So running uptempo fastbreak, with a lot more 3pt shot attempts means a lot more possessions, means a lot more 3s shot/made if you have the shooters.

If best means total offensive functionally, I'll go with flex. Because flex it's more guard oriented. It's nice to have your SF spot to be a 3rd guard basically. Kind of a drive and dish offense. An athletic PG, with a Kyle Korver, Seth Curry and Dirk on the perimeter, it's gonna rain 3s all night.

If best means, offensive programming design, I go triangle. I've always felt like the most deadly weapon in HD as a stand alone, is a 100 PER shooter in triangle. It relies most on the LP/PER ratings for scoring. Even if the ATH/SPD/BH/ST/etc. might not be ideal. You can also load up the distro on a scorer like this a bit better than you can in other sets.

so your definition of "best" is what's more important to answer your question. And as we all mentioned, motion is last. It's better to get all your players involved in the scoring with motion. That means getting your bigs involved, which to me means it can't be the best

Here's what has me so shocked...... topdoggg has a longer post than gil!

yeah, i love motion offense's 3pt scoring myself, but it is really more good in the standpoint of, fairly balanced motion offenses that take a good but not crazy amount of 3s (mid to high 30s, low 40s perhaps), they seem to be just really efficient. i love a good guard-heavy motion/press, i'm not sure there's anything better (that's my most successful scheme). but if i was gonna build a program to take 50-65% 3s, i don't think i'd be choosing motion. so given the OP, its really not motion. i just wanted to avoid... giving the impression that in general, motion is a sub-par 3pt scoring offense.

It's rare! But it can happen!
