The Art of Spacing

Okay, these are just a couple of tips when orchestrating your 3-on-3 attack and defense; spacing-wise.

1. In spacing, as in every other thing FS-wise, moderation is key. Don't organize your placing too closely as to confuse the team; nor too far that your foes pick off your passes with regularity.
2. One good tactic to employ is to "halve" the court. Your big man should be able to switch between halves when necessary, and the other two players (be they two Guards or a Guard and Small Forward) should be knowledgeable enough about simple team play mechanics (the Pick and Roll is a notable example) and good enough to initiate the play on their own.
3. Spacing can be used to bust zone defenses. If your big man can shoot the middle shot, you can adjust the spacing to draw his or her opponent away from the paint, leaving it open to attack.
4. Spacing is key to getting the Alley-Oop Pass to work. If your spacing is inadequate, all your passes won't connect. Getting the right distance requires work and practice.
5. Use a decently-spaced floor to get your kukgi rotation started. If your defenders anticipate long shots, start with middle jumpers or the paint.

That's it for now. Next up is applying Sun Tzu's principles in "The Art of War" to FS. Trust me, it's gonna be fun. :)
