[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 6285148, member: 23935"] It would be a disconnect if you used all this information and analysis the very first time you saw your opponents on the court -- like Majoru Oakheart described. Otherwise the analysis would have to be more shallow. 1) They're in a 2-3 zone rather than man. 2) The center looks like a good athlete and is hovering near the rim. Maybe I can take a hard dribble to the middle, beat the guards, and pull up from 12-15 feet for a jumpshot.. Maybe I can be a cutter through there when I don't have the ball and get a look that way. Conversely, I can make sure I have a cutter who can shoot the 12-15 foot jumper and I can feed them when the guards double me. 3) I've got 2 good perimeter shooters on my team. Because they're in a 2-3, I can get them clean looks all day if I attack and draw a double team on their side. One of these guys is better from the elbow than from the baseline so if I can get into the paint (which isn't a problem), I can set him up regularly. 4) Their frontcourt is much bigger and more physical than ours but the majority of our shots are going to be 15 + foot jumpshots. That means long rebounds if we miss. Their guards are small so not physical rebounders. I should be able to get plenty of offensive rebounds this game. 5) The guard on my left (opposite the guy that likes to leak out on a shot) is a lefty.
