I just moved to a new team and they run the triangle. I have no experience with this offense, and I feel like I am floundering.

1. I am not sure how to set my distro's.
2. Who should I start at SG and SF?
3. Wilkinson has a promised start which is why he is at PF, whould he be better somwhere else?

Can someone help. Any ideas will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I like playing Triangle a lot. It is a good offense to hide a poor shooter in without doing too much to weaken the team. I think once you become more comfortable with it, it will become a favorite of yours too.

I would keep Bennett at SG and Turner at SF. They each have minor weak spots but overall they are your best. I would give them plus Blakes the highest distro. That is a good trio for the Triangle. I would back off on some distro to Dittmar and tell him he has to run one circuit of steps for every 3 he attempts. Wilkinson is ok where he is. He only has a 50 stamina so he won't be on the court very long anyway.

Just a note for next season - you need to focus on better BH for your shooters. I prefer a minimum of 30 myself. Turner will get you a lot of points but he will turn it over too. Cutting back the distro on Dittmar should help his TO rate as well. Finally, Athl and Speed cannot be overemphasised especially if you are playing Press.

Good Luck.

Despite the differences in the PM to you, I would agree with most of what is said above: My differences have to do with my preferences in substitution.

I'd pick your 3 best offensive starters and give them about the same, high distribution. The other 2 starters I'd keep very low. Then with your next 5 on the bench, have your top 3 bench scorers at a point between the two levels above, and then the rest at the same low level as the worst 2 starters. So for example...
Starters: 15-15-15-2-2
Top 5 bench: 8-8-8-2-2
Depending on your opponent, you may want to tweak these from game to game, and match the 15s/8s as much as you can.

Keep in mind that speed and passing are supposed to be the most important attributes in the triangle, so recruit with that in mind. Good luck.
