Where do you score your points from?

The paint? Mid-range? 3-pt. land?

I tend to play with teams that have a good low-post presence, so I typically will have 30-plus points in the paint, with the rest spread out between foul shots, mid-range and a few 3-pointers.

For those that tend to be more perimeter-based, do you get those points off of running plays or just freestyling? I'd like to hear your thoughts, as I'm looking to use a team that doesn't have a strong low-post presence, so I'll need to get my points from the outside.

For me, I like to run a lot of plays for my star players to get open for mid range shots and 3 pointers. If they dont get open during the play then my next option is to drive. If I cant get an open lay up or dunk then I pass it out to the open player and do isolation to try to get a shot. Usually I call plays though for the hot hand so it isnt always the star. I have been having some really good games doing this so far. Im running a Pacers franchise and its pretty realistic scoring. My record is 5-6 and I dont feel like Im being cheated when I lose. Its usually because my players are just cold from the field.

I generally like to get a team with good shooters and set plays where they get open from midrange a lot but if there is a clear lane to the hoop I'm gonna take it.

I love the mid-range jumper

I tend to favor teams with a good low-post presence as well, and I like to open up the mid-range and 3PT game by scoring from the paint until the defense starts doubling or bringing help. If I'm trying to score from the perimeter without scoring from the post first, then I need someone who can drive and beat his man off the dribble until the defense adjusts.

My strategy consists of both play calling and freestyling, but even when I'm doing the latter, I always make sure to call for a pick or use one of the quick plays, to organize my offense.

Paint and mid range.. I'm shooting 3's only when I need it or when somebody is open.

Whatever the defense gives me.

Focus on getting players going early on and the rest opens up from there.

The paint early. I've seen that scoring in the paint will cause the D to lock it down and open up the court for some mid range and 3s later in the game. Of coarse though when all else fails it's read the D and react to where there defending the most.
