So Shoe, if I follow your logic, you need, even if you think your third option or fourth option are not good, to get more distro into 3 and 4 so the triangle runs properly?
It's something I have done. I went 8 (LP player), 6 (slasher) 3 (PG), 2 (SF), 1 (BACK-UP PG), 1 60PER Bench warmer.
That was my distro so my starting five had 15 pts of the distro, my back-ups, 2.
Maybe I need to go by 5 now. I am thinking 5 to 25, 25 being the highest.
In general, I would not try to add (or subtract) scorers based on how many scorers you think is optimal for the offense. If he's a good triangle scorer, give him more distribution. If not, don't. I think that's true for all sets.
My premise is that the primary differences in offensive sets is how they weigh the different offensive attributes (ATH, SPD, LP, PER, BH, PAS) for maximum efficiency within that set. I don't know exactly what those weights are, but I will say that if you suspect triangle emphasizes LP, PER, and PAS, while de-emphasizing ATH, SPD, and BH, that's what you should recruit for, offensively.
Again, grain of salt regarding triangle specifically, because I'm only now starting to get some experience under my belt with it, and in both cases, it's a re-modeling job. Check back with me in a few seasons, and I may revise my premise. ??
