So basically you trash now.I've been playing european style basketball my whole life (movement without the ball, off ball screens, backdoor cuts, little to no ISO play) to moving to Toronto where ISO is the default...as a pass first PG, I find myself needing to adjust my game.
- I run off screens like Rip Hamilton/ Curry and can knock down those mid-ranges with ease (very limited three point range as we never counted them so I never took them).
- I am very comfortable in the paint and at 5'4" and drive like a young Tony Parker
- I am comfortable posting up mu man and If I do get double teamed, I always look for cutters
- I drive and kick out a lot since I draw in the defender often
- I do a lot of the dirty work with boxing out, getting offensive rebounds etc...
Now that I play ISO heavy ball, most of my strengths are ineffective...
- Running around the court is useless since the dude with the ball only looks to score
- Driving to the paint is not as effective as my teammates leave me on an island for me to cross my man up and drive only to expect other defenders to come in the way. This is a big adjustment as I don't drive in with the flow of the game, I am basically forcing the issue.
- When I get double teamed, there are no cutters
So my game is basically Curry (without the 3 point shot) meshed with Parker on a good day. But now I need to adjust my game to fit this iso heavy style of play.
lol basically. It's an uphill battle from here on.
