When I was trying to think of a good question to ask Pax, the first thing that came to mind was the fact that the players on the Bulls are suited for very different types of offensive schemes. As I said in that post, we all think ERob would be much better in a fast-break uptempo offense (ala Nets or Nugz) but guys like AD and Fizer can't really run the floor well and are better for a grinding "inside-out" halfcourt set ("inside-forcedshot" in Fizer's case).
I'm interested to see what type of offense you guys think we should be running. A few options off the top of my head are: Nets/Nuggets fast-break, Pistons/Celtics circa Eastern Conf. Finals/Seattle three-pointer based halfcourt set, Kings precision passing and cuts, or the Mav's fairly wide-open style, based simply on the fact that they have enough offensive playmakers to get buckets without a specific method. I'm sure that other people can revise mine and add more ways that teams get the ball in the basket.
The point being: as far as I can tell from watching games, we don't have any plan on offense apart from a few curls run from time to time and lots of 16-18 ft jumpers. We have some young personnel (Kirk, Jamal, maybe Eddy if he weren't out of shape) who are still evolving as players and could be potentially more successful with a good plan on offense. What type of offense do you guys think we should strive towards? And do you think we should start examining draftees and FA's with that offensive philosophy in mind?
