Five Out

[shadow force]

With Pryor at center, the Cards can effectively play 5 out on offense. The one weakness some have pointed out is that the team lacks a traditional banger/back to the basket center.

What are your thoughts on playing 5 out?

As long as you have movement and constant cuts to create some additional spacing which causes the D to react, I dont mind it. I actually like the 4 out and use the down guy for rubs, pick and pops, and high post back cuts vs man.

I'm more used to seeing 4 out than 5. It does seem like CPK prioritizes good passing, ball movement, and player movement on offense. We'll have to see what he decides.

Also if they do go up against a big back to the basket center, they might have trouble guarding him, but that also means that he has to guard out on the perimeter which can also cause mismatches in Cards favor.
