Take Advantage of Your Players’ Strengths
NBA Playgrounds: Tips and Tricks for Beginners
Once you have decided on a pairing that works well together, you need to take advantage of their individual strengths on the court. Say you have a defensively minded player that is good at blocking and has high stamina; make the effort to ensure he is the one that is in the best position to block shots, rather than the more attack-minded baller. The same is true for the opposite skills. Try to shoot with the player that has nine out of ten for 2-pointers, rather than the player that has two out of ten. It sounds simple but it will lead to you sinking a higher percentage of your shots.
Also, remember which of your players are good at things like 3-pointers and dunking. If you have a player that has a free shot from three-point range, go for it, because you’ll likely score and get ahead on the scoreboard. You should also attempt alley-oops with players that have high dunking stats to build your Lottery Pick bar as fast as possible.
