I may test out Look inside with my 2nd team. Since this is the way to promote or as some say. What should I build my team around? I also may test out patient I already got the all around small foward with both my teams. Since most people use a small foward as a main focal point of the patient offense. I ran look inside in division 5 the whole season but once I got division 4 I had to change.

Heading on the right path so far. Are you?

I can give a second opinion.

If you're looking to hop aboard the LI-bandwagon I suppose guards with high IS and low outside shooting is the way to go.

Depends on the type of patient I think. Yes passing is needed at all 5 positions. But the amount of passing per division can be talked about. Yesterday I ran patient just to tank the game and go to game 3 to get more cash. (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/85552904/boxscore.aspx)

As you can see, that still didn't happen. Given the opponent was around the run of the mill d4 team, I can predict for USA D4 all you need is around 10ish PA amongst the guards and around 5 on the bigs. The focal pt of the offense wasn't even a pure scorer anyways. Has not too shabbby is with decent js jr. I'm not gonna say the skills cuz there may be a d3 team reading this and idk which league I'm going to yet. But that is one type of patient offense, "tough patient" as it is called


The other patient is a more calmer version. Like manon says you need passing amongst every one of your players. It is also good that they have handles too otherwise they will lose the ball or Chuck a bad shot at the end of the shot clock. You want a good scorer among the 2 or the 3 position with decent amount of js jr and decent dr and is. One of my former players had 12 js 13 jr and 6 is, he was able to put up 50+ points consistently in a tough d4 league. So consider that your start line in looking for a scorer


Just my 2 cents...I've ran patient offense a lot so I know what it can and can't do.

There no longer is any financial reason to go to a game 3. No attendance revenue is paid for game 3. Instead the league winner gets a set amount and the runner-up half of that amount. You get that whether the series goes 3 games or is finished in 2.

I think a really fun LI test would be to put very high JR and passing on all of your players but keep the IS very low, and then run LI and see if you shoot over 7.14% from three point range.

but that defeats the purpose of a Look inside offense. So no it maybe (fun) but not fun enough to win.

Probably not (though I bet you'd do a lot better late in close games if you need a three to tie/win). But you're talking about "testing" LI - which makes about as much sense as dropping a ball from a building to "test" gravity. The matter is pretty well settled at this point.
