Best offense for the 3? - Hoops Dynasty

Y'know, I've had a great deal of success with the flex this year (and I guess with the motion in DIII,) but I can't seem to hit threes, even with players with 70 ATH and 90 SPD, BH, and PER. My Oklahoma State team is strong in the post, but I'd love to see us getting more than 16% of our points from beyond the arc - and all but 3 of my players will take and miss tons of threes at any 3-pt setting higher than -1.

Maybe I'm recruiting poorly for the long-range attack, but I was wondering - has anyone found a difference in 3-pt shooting success between the offenses? I learned that triangle was the most post-focused and flex the most perimeter-focused of the offenses... but does anyone have the data or the experience to confirm or deny that "forum fact?"

I've been running the flex for years. I can attest that we take many 3's and don't hit many, I keep most of my player 3 settings at -1 and -2. Occasionally we'll go 3-6 from behind the arc, but generally it's 4-13. This probably doesn't help you any except to agree with your premise.

I prefer the triangle for shooting 3's

No offense, cornfused, but I think your OK St. team's hitting 3's right about where they should for what you have. 35% on 12.5 per game for a team with only one guy with PE over 75 seems pretty good. Warf's speed should and BH should overcome his low PE to get you a few, but other than Robbins, I don't see anyone else who should be venturing outside the arc too often. Especially when your SF is a PF with 13 BH. Just my two cents, but this looks like a team that should be pounding it to Wood and Mathewson, which you are with great success.

Point taken. Allow me to point out that Robbins is 9/34 for .265 on the year, though.

But my main point is what offense, if any, is best for this and why.

Coupled with a strong post game the triangle should be able to get you open, makeable threes.

Flex
Summary The Flex is a variation of the motion offense in which all five players are interchangeable. The offense is taught to react in specific ways based on the defense. Pros Doesn't require a big presence inside to be effective, allows the offense to spread the floor and use quickness to penetrate to the basket or draw the defense in for open outside shots. Cons Requires good passing, speed and outside shooting.

I dont know why that went 3 times....but any ways, By definition, FLEX seems to be the perimeter style offense. It seems by HD terms, its a drive and dish offense that seems like it would be pick and roll, and isolation offense. Not much Low Post . In real life, it is different than what HD's definition is.
