Here's the ATH, SPD, PER and BH of my big men with my DII team, and I'm curious if any of them are worthy of putting their 3 point settings at -1:

Acuff: 64 ATH 34 SPD 34 PER 11 BH
Tosh: 48 ATH 75 SPD 41 PER 1 BH
Newsome: 42 ATH 62 SPD 32 PER 10 BH
Phillips: 36 ATH 50 SPD 34 PER 2 BH

Thanks,

I don't know, just my personal opinion, but I think you're making a big mistake by letting your big men shoot 3's.

3 point shooting is for guards and maybe on occasion the small forward.

#1 By having your big guy take 3's, you lose a potential rebounder underneath.

#2 Your guards can shoot significantly better than your big men. I don't see the point in bringing them out to shoot 5-10% less than what your guard is capable of shooting.

3. The inside/outside threat may work with a SF. But don't see any of the guys that you posted could be very effective at 3's.

4. They also don't have the ballhandling skills to effectively drive to the basket if the 3 is covered.

I mean you probably don't want them to shoot 3s, but the guys with low LPs (Reid and Phillips) I may set them at -1 for a few games just to see if they make any. Your other two guys have too good of LP to have them jacking up 3s.

Thanks guys, that's kind of what I figured; but I had a PG the past couple season with a PER in the mid-30's who would take 3's every once in a while and hit about 40%, so I was just wondering if I was missing out on something. All my bigs have good per ratings, so I was curious.

Tosh and Reid both would have the best chance for success at 3's. I have a guy named Arocho on my York team in Knight who has a 41 PER and he had some solid success shooting behind the arc against the 2-3 Zone but against other defenses it isn't worth it.

Big can have success shooting the 3, but PF seems to be the place to play those types...

I think if you leave them at PF and set someone like Tosh to a -1 he make knock down the occasional three. I wouldn't expect him to shoot many of them....only when he's open. Might be worth experimenting with one of them in an exhibition!!
