The current lineup of the Brooklyn Nets is also a slow-paced positional playstyle.
Since 1994, which was last season, the three-point line was shortened to 6.7 meters, leading to an increase in overall defensive efficiency in the league last season. However, the effect wasn't that noticeable last season. This season, all teams have realized the impact of the shortened three-point line on the game's pace – it's become easier to defend inside the three-point line.
Therefore, the slow-paced positional play is bound to become mainstream.
The Pistons are aiming to build a championship-winning roster around Grant Hill, so they'll definitely make good use of the rules.
The Brooklyn Nets didn't think much about it; their lineup naturally fits a positional playstyle.
After Lynch Hunt gets to the frontcourt, he passes the ball to Grant Hill, who initially thought Zhang Hao was defending him. Seeing Jason Williams instead... he decisively accelerates for a strong drive!
