I haven't seen enough about Davison to see how he distributes. I would like to see a true PG who balances distribution with driving to the rim. I'll confess to being just a little worried about having two PGs looking only to drive...
I understand where you are coming from, but that dribble drive and attacking the rim is the basis of our offensive system. We run the dribble drive motion that was originally created by Vance Walberg at Pepperdine (although Calipari takes credit for it lol). Walberg calls it the “attack offense”.
The goal is to attack the elbows and get to the rim. If you don’t have the dunk or layup, kick it out to your options, based on where you are on the floor.
There are 3 zones on the court: 1) The breakdown zone (above the 3 point line) that’s where you are breaking down your man 2) The drop zone (around the elbow) thats where you decide to go to zone 3 or kick 3) The rack zone (in the paint) get to the rim and score or get fouled. (You can still kick out or drop it off to the big, but you better be heading to the rim while you’re doing it).
We have to have guards that are drive first for this system. That’s another reason Namari Burnett was an important get. He’s a combo guard, so is another PG on the floor. Again think “positionless basketball” We will typically have 4 combo guards and a big. Any of those 4 combo guards can technically be the “lead guard”
I would actually implore you guys to watch this video on the origin of our offense. Obviously we have modified and modernized it a little, but this is how it came about.
